So now the confederate flag no longer stands for the time honored southern traditions of fried chicken, Cajun cooking, southern rock, southern hospitality,Arcadian French, hundreds of thousands of casualties of war and instead it ONLY stands for HATE. This is progressive? This is spreading peace and love? No, it is feeding the vial flames of fear and hate. Nice work liberals.

Southern Hospitality is a great idea for a flag, and you could make history by creating the first photographic flag. Here you go:

Members of my family have served in every branch of the Armed Forces, including the Coast Guard, although we are predominantly Army, as is the case with yours truly. And so, for those of us who have taken the oath to uphold the Constitution, the Confederate flag has always stood for one thing--TREASON, the only crime defined in the Fundamental Charter itself, for it is a threat to the life of the Republic. And that oath requires us to "support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic." Thus, seeing the Confederate flag flying over American territory is like looking at the emblems of Hitler and Mussolini and Tojo, altogether rather displeasing.

The Confederate stars and bars was turned into a symbol of hate not by liberals, but first by the KKK in the 1920s, Strom Thurmond's political party in 1948 which opposed integration, and the states which raised the flag in protest when the Supreme Court upheld civil rights legislation in the 1950s and the 1960s.
