To some young Southerners, "Dead Confederate" may mean an indy rock band rather than anything to do with the Civil War.
I'm not sure what to make of that.

And you have “proof” the majority of people that fly the Confederate flag are racists how?
I contend you are 100% fully wrong, and not correct on this point: “I would like to see a federal law to keep them from flying it”- So now we live in the Soviet Union where free speech rights- And the 1st Amendment mean nothing..how generous of you comrad!
Don't give up hope. If the lunatic fringe of the SCV takes over, with their John Wilkes Booth chapters and their pennies in urinal antics, then maybe the Confederate flag will be seen to represent immature boobs rather than hate?

Likely less than the presence of your seething hate of unpleasant history.
What you mistake for seething hatred is actually amusement at lost cause foolishness.
Cell phones have chargers ;)
It’s not a lost cause to look back fondly at those that died to defend the principles of freedom and liberty (and I am not just talking the north, but the south too)!
Freedom and liberty...for about 2/3rds their population you mean.
yes, but baby drool doesn’t improve the performance of cell phone chargers. As a result, I am on email only until this weekend, when I can get to the Sprint store on post and buy a new charger. Preferably one that is waterproof.

What about the 1/3 immigrant Irish “slave labor” in Northern Factories..?
The south wasn’t completely right an justified (and that’s why God allowed them to loose), but it takes exactly 100% of nothing away from the Honor and Self-Sacrifice for liberty that those whom fought for the Confederacy gave (a sovereign nation mind you-one that could be convincingly argued was illigally invaded and conquered by the USA)!
They got paid, and nobody sold them.

Blame it on God if it makes you feel better, but the confederacy was beaten, decisively.

So convince me. The confederacy was nothing more than a section of the U.S. engaged in rebellion. There was absolutely nothing illegal about putting their insurrection down.
Ouch.
Don an asbestos suit my friend.
Ping! :-)
