Even though some are offended by this battle flag, not everyone is. History cannot be rewritten just because some don't agree with it. The Civil War was not about slavery, but taxation without representation which is why the US was born to escape that very thing. Slavery only became a part of the equation later and since then, many think that that is the only thing it was about. Someone else pointed out that the original Confederate Flag was often mistaken for the US Flag from a distance on the battlefields and many were killed/wounded by friendly fire before it was changed. All this is contained in history books related to the Civil War.

I have no feeling either way about it. To ban TV shows like Duke of Hazzard because of it is going way over the line. It was a comedy about a couple of 'good ole boys' and their shenanigans, not racism.

Those who say that taxpayer dollars should not support any display of the banner should also be raising holy-you-know-what about using tax dollars to change out the light bulbs shining on the White House celebrating Gay Pride. The Gay Pride movement should be condemning those who would vilify the raising of the Flag at Iwo Jima, as well. I would be willing to bet that those stunts were an embarrassment to many of their community.

I have no problem with gays, any race, or anyone else wanting to be treated equally and fairly. What I do have a problem with is any group wanting special treatment, and this is exactly what is happening.

The sooner we get rid of PC, the sooner we can find the tolerance this country was founded to become. You don't have to like me, you don't have to agree with me, nor I you; you do need to respect me and I you.
