...he was stunned to see two large Confederate flags flying from trucks...emblazoned with the words "The South Shall Rise Again." I'm stunned, too, that people still think it is cool to fly this flag. Our society should bury these flags -- not flaunt them...because the Confederate flag symbolizes racial tyranny to so many... ...This flag doesn't belong on city streets, in videos or in the middle of civil discussion. It belongs in our past -- in museums and in history books -- along with the ideas it represents.

Walter Williams is a bold defender of the Confederate Battle Flag and keeps one in his office.
Depends whose saying it. :-)
I always pictured the General Grant as more of a GTO.
whose = who’s
Its the Nazification of my forefathers by the PC Police and I’m sick of it. Below is a Great book I would recomend if you or your ancestors were from the South. There is no reason we should be ashamed, and this book gives you plenty of reasons to be proud.
The Politically Incorrect Guide to the South: by Clint Johnson
http://south.politicallyincorrectguide.com/offers/offer.php?id=PGSTH001
What the PC police don’t want you to know—and what they got plain wrong—about the South
From the Founding Fathers to the frontiersmen who tamed the West to the country music, NASCAR, Bible-thumping heart of “Red State” America, the South is the quintessence of what’s original, unique, and most loved about American culture. Yet, thanks to the PC police, the heritage and culture of the South is under attack. The PC establishment is so intent on spreading the myth of the South as prejudiced and ignorant that it even wants to rewrite its history.
But author Clint Johnson rises up in fierce resistance to the second war against the South. He reveals that, far from being the backwater of the nation, the South has always been the center of American culture and history, and that the South is truly rising again. He provides you with the information you need to fight the battles being waged against Southern heritage and pride.
The Politically Incorrect Guide™ to the South (and Why It Will Rise Again) is here to even the score by taking a stand for Dixie, and proving why the South, its traditional values, military service, good manners, and fierce independence will certainly rise again.
“Wo was “workin’ on the railroad”
I thought “I’ve” been working on the railroad, all the livelong days.
I wonder why this “person” Ney doesn’t spend more time fighting the slavery that is currently going on in Africa? Isn’t that more “offensive” than an abstract interpretation of a flag regarding slavery 160 yrs ago? Come on, man - get some perspective!
“Because the Confederate flag symbolizes racial tyranny to so many MORONS, including Ney.
There, that fixed it.
Only a small segment of the Southern population owned slaves. Most of those in Gray were poor backwoods boys who were fighting for honor. That’s why they hold on to their flags. To them it wasn’t about race.
Slavery existed almost a hundred years under the Stars and Stripes, but I guess this ignorant writer doesn’t know that.

Awwww, bless your heart you didn't get past 4th grade history class either did you?
"I was appalled that this racist symbol was receiving de facto sanction by the city of Wichita," Ney wrote to me in an e-mail.
Well when Mr. Ney is finished his campaign of ignorance in Kansas, he's free to come to NC and take the 3rd National that flies in front of my house

If it’s ok to ban the Rebel Flag, which by the way was a battle flag, then why do we allow people to fly the Nazi flag? It’s just something else to divide the people. They need to get over it.
Actually, that's the way it should be.
Use the battle flags to honor the soldiers that did their duty as they saw it and leave the battle flags out of current politics.
