A flag is just a thing? Please tell me what YOUR response would be if your next door neighbor flew a large Nazi swastika on his flagpole? 99.9 percent of residents would have their emotions controoled by this flag flying next to them and some would feel compelled to commit the act of taking it down.
The US flag also is not just a thing. It definitely controls our emotions. If we see someone defacing it, some people commit the act of assault and rightfully so, in my viewpoint.
No, you are incorrect in this post. Many people compare the history of the confederate battle flag with the Nazi flag. Neither should be allowed to fly. Put the piece of Southern history in a museum.
