Sounds like you might be getting the point. Government should stand for something better than the common man. It should be an good example. Maybe if it didn't fly flags that represent bigotry and glorified armed rebellion, it would achieve that goal.
I will take my ball and go play with common man and you can take your ball and go play with government. Good luck to you and me as we both will need some luck!
You are refusing to to see the confederate flag for what it is and what it is not. Bigotry is present in society not because of the confederate flag. Not sure what you mean by glorified armed rebellion. Do you mean this in terms of the revolutionary war? Again, the civil war was fought over money and power. The revolutionary war was a rebellion and succession from an oppressive regime.
Glorified armed rebellion to describe the confederate soldier is an interesting way of expressing your disapproval of bigotry. Sounds like you are not getting the point and so you are correct in thinking I am getting the point.

So, let me get this straight: You do not think the Civil War was an armed rebellion? Is that correct? And you do not think the Confederate flag represents bigotry to a vast majority of people? Is that correct?
We all pretty much agreed that the Civil War, and the causes of it, both North and South, was probably the most dismal period in the life of our country, and you want to perpetuate that dismal period by waving that flag? Is that correct?

The civil war was a response to Northern aggression. Of course both sides armed themselves. But all this is not the point of the confederate flag. I fly the American flag. I do not fly the confederate flag because of people like you. You and poppy and others are too reactive and for reasons that I do not understand. I respect those that died on both sides of course. I do not see the confederate flag as a symbolic form of bigotry and racism. I think you and poppy and others are trying too hard to fix something that is wrong within society and hoping that "crapping" on the confederate flag is "a step in the right direction". I simply disagree with you and choose not to judge you such as you and poppy have judged me and conclude that I am "willfully ignorant". You do not have to go that far to express your opinion but of course you can say pretty much what ever floats your boats.

Best use of a Confederate flag I've seen yet. The good part starts around 5:00.

I'm sure that a lot of people who signed the Hampton Inn petition will be glad to sign this petition. But I think this is an issue that should be left up to the legal residents of the county.
If the flag defenders want to be upset with someone because their flag is being struck you need look no further than the Republicans. They are the ones who have the power and are calling for the removal of flags in their states. Looks like common sense is the winner of this argument.
