Obama, Turbin, NAACP and ADL all object.
TOUGH! The flag can be carried in and out during memorial dedications.

Let them fly the flag for this memorial. It's a memorial. Let them fly the flag at this memorial. The rebound rebellion about this flag has gone on long enough, the point has been made, so now, let them fly this flag at this (or any related) memorial. Maybe the rebellious interests should try and understand the other side of the issue for a change.

I'm a transported Yankee from upstate NY to NC. I have no problem seeing a Confederate Flag here in NC. Karen and I are of the mind-set, that, we are AMERICANS.

The confederate flag is a monument to dying for shortsighted stupidity.

The confederate flag is a monument to state's rights.
To: tkathy
If that is the case, then so is every flag under which a soldier has died, for every was has some short sighted stupid moment that gets someone killed.

I would think the 1st or 2nd National Flag should be used.
The 3rd National didn't show up until Mar 1865 and as such would have had limited distribution.
For some reason "Flag" people ignore the National Flags and would rather fly an eastern battle flag. A flag that never flew on a pole outside a Confederate government building.

I Agree. I fly the First National flag at my home along with the American Flag. Most people do not know what it is. Unfortunately, the battle flag has been desecrated by the KKK and Nazi hate groups and that is truly a shame. Many brave Americans died under that flag and would have fought against those hate groups with the same ferocity that they fought the Northern Aggressors

I once read the story of a black gentleman living on Cottage Grove in Chicago who flew the Stars & Bars over his yard. The reason was that his home rested on the site of a POW camp where many southern soldiers died. He simply did it out of respect. As far as I know, that flag still flies over one of Chicago's poorest and blackest neighborhoods.

Your post is a monument to shortsighted stupidity. Have a Dixie Day.
To: stainlessbanner
My ancestors had their lives ruined by fighting against the stupidity and shortsightedness of the democrats, both north and south. If they had ceased slavery, countless lives would have been saved.

Not really. It reminds people of the shortsighted stupidity that so many Southerners fought against.
