Heresy to say it but it is true.

Lets just suppose that someone here grew up in the South and had a great great someone who fought and died in that horrible war. Maybe they were flying the flag on that person birthday or the day they died. Some very valid reason. And you claim they must be uneducated. Very sad way to think.

And what "state's right"...were they wanting?
