I wasn't there, I just saw it on the news.  

JACKSON, MO (KFVS) -

Around a hundred people came out to support the Confederate Flag at a fundraiser at Hanners Wholesale in Cape Girardeau County on Saturday.

At the event, many placed their Confederate Flags on their vehicles to proudly show their support and to promote the history behind the flag and not hatred toward anyone.

One by one, they lined up in their vehicles and paraded into the town of Jackson into the uptown area led by a General Lee of Dukes of Hazzard replica car.

The Confederate flag controversy over the last few months has swept across the nation.

Call it what it really is, the democrat flag.



They designed it, they fought to break from the Union with it, and for the next 150 years treated blacks like shit.

It was a flag of a CSA army unit as in the Army of Northern Virginia. 150 years?

Well, that just sucks that 98% of the country can't tell the difference, and wouldn't change their minds, if they did.  Too bad.

You're right. That flag is racist and should be put in jail.

But us Missourians also were part of the Union as well.

We're a half and half state, but the Confederates lost

Funny how people who claim to hate an overreaching federal government show such disrespect to people who actually took a stand against an overreaching federal government....

I added my $0.02




If the 0bama administration had not had a coordinated response in pressuring so many businesses to stop selling the flag, then displays of Southern Heritage like this  would not be breaking out across the country. This is a reaction to communist style historic revisionism that is seeking to replace the history of the country that the current fed.gov disagrees with. As the fed.gov seeks more and more power, seeks regulations and prohibitions on such mundane activities from collecting rain water to little girls selling lemonade, infringing on un-infringable Constitutional Rights, it is no wonder that the fed.gov is very interested and quite energized on eliminating the history of when people rose up against the fed.gov, and the flag, traditions and heritage that it is associated with.

Because if businesses don't fly a flag, history is "eliminated."  Right.    

I guess people will have to get their history from actual written sources, rather than out-of-context symbols plastered across trucks and t-shirts.

Finally, the "traditions and heritage" associated with that flag include open warfare against the U.S. Army and defense of a culture and government dedicated to preserving race-based slavery.  It is not surprising that so many people, 150 years later, no longer wish to display Confederate symbols.

As a life long New England yankee I support your right to fly that flag.  It doesn't mean I like every guys motivations for doing so but it is a historic flag that has stood for different many things.  It is too bad it is being pigeonholed by single issue politicians and activists to mean only one thing so many years later.
