Your truth is the lie democrats used between 1865 to 1985.
When faced with Reagan's capture of southern hearts and minds, The democrats turned on their own symbol and quickly turned it into "The symbol of racism" to get the votes they lost to Reagan (and to a smaller extent Bush the elder).The success they achieved in doing so put Bill Clinton in office twice and has done more harm to this country then you and your kind will ever admit to.
If you want to honor those that died for the democrat's rebellion, then honor them as those americans lost for the causes of the democrats against the laws of this country. Be honest in your honors, admit why they died, they died because democrats rebeled against the government of the United States and the power of constitution.
Is that really so hard to admit?
LOL -- oh no, not Sullivan's Hollow again? WOW. I will NEVER forget my experience there. Wish I'd known they were kin to you back then, but of course, I would have had to have known you back then too...lol.
By chance, do you have a pic of the Sullivan's Volunteers' flag? I'd love to see it.
Allen bump!
Was he a grand wizard of the KKK ala Sen. Byrd?
After see her, who could be against the rebel battle flag.
If the Stars and Bars stood for oppression and discrimination against Blacks, as the leftist media like to portray, how do they explain Southerners of Black heritage also embracing it as part of their heritage?
Perhaps a simple lesson in history could show them that even former Slaves at times stood with the Confederacy against Yankees.

Sorry, the link is dead, apparently. Here is another site with the article in it's entirety.

Why dont they tell us something really scary. Like that he subscribed to their insufferable magazine when he was in high school ...
I see the Confederate flag haters have shown up...
Why that is sooooooooo insensitive to the Native Americans, that really gets my panties in a wad!
Allen was seen riding in or driving a Ford Mustang with either a Confederate flag license plate or Confederate flag imagery on the car
Sounds like the Dems finally got themselves a Plan: "Kneecap him now."

The Drive By Media is trying to control him. If he starts answering them now, they'll continue to try and control him. Although they'll keep doing it whatever he says.
First rule of running for office. Screw the press, most are anti American and traitors. Find a way to get your message out there anyway.
and that a red cross on a white field is symbolic of the cross of St. Patrick
neither of which are directly related to the Confederate flag except that they were used bassackwards or corrupted to suit the needs of the leaders of the confederacy.
When anyone tells you that the confederate flag consists of the flags of St. Andrew and St. Patrick joined as one they are ignorant of the truth The southern cross is a corruption of religious symbols, inverted to do the devil's work.
I don't hate the Confederate flag, I hate how the democrats have used it and...(this part is important)
I want to hold them accountable for how they abused it.
Any true son of the south would recognize that it was the democrats behind all the racial abuses done under the Confederate flag just as it is the democrats that dishonor it today using the abuses they themselves committed as a history lesson in southern racism in polyester bunting to gather votes.
If you really want to stand up for that flag, maybe you first ought to decide if you have the courage to challenge all those that have dishonored it and used it as a weapon of terror and racism in the south, the democrats.
If you don't have the courage to do so bury it for all time, so that Democrats can't use as they continue to use it.
If George Allen wore a Confederate flag pin in High School he is a racist and probably belonged to the KKK.
