The American flag flew over slavery longer than the confederate flag. Confederate flag flew from 1861-1865. The American flag was flown prior to this flag and after until slavery was abolished after the war.

Its just an excuse for haters to hate. Heck fire I hate the mexican flag, African flag, Cuban flag, and all those other foreign country flags but they get to fly em here in the good ol usa. Yet California has outlawed the confederate flag. Makes a lot of sense to me.

I fly my confed. flag on all my trucks , my reason is not for hate but to honor men and women who had the courage to stand up for their beliefs just like today, thugs get away with looting , setting fires , calling for police to blame , we need more people to do what is right , not politicly correct ,but honest and truthful . thank you to all vets past present and future--- god bless

Most of my ancestors fought for the Confederacy. I don't fly a Confederate flag. But I certainly don't see a problem with it. Those men that served in the Confederate Army deserve to be honored too the way I see it. But all to often their forgotten as the stain of our past. For me, it's all about heritage!!!!

Only one flag means anything at all to this U.S. citizen. While I have no problem with the confederate flag, I'm not willing to go to war or die for it. Had I lived in that time, probably so. As for the RED, White, and Blue I am more than willing and ready to defend her at any cost, including dying. IT'S the symbol of freedom that allows each of us to make the choice to fly and display other flags if we want, but I personally can't understand why we want to. Like Mike, my blood boils when I see her disrespected, and each time I hear our anthem played, I think of all who have stood up and fought so hard to defend those rights we have. Yep...can bring a tear to an old man's eye it can.

OLD GLORY FOR ME! She has been through much, and always came out flying high and proud. I'll display her at my place with PRIDE. The rest....well they have their places in history, but I live in the present....most times. lol

The Confederate flag is apart of our American history! Our past is our heritage, right??? I served in the armed forces for 10 years (active duty) 1992-2002. Old glory is our national flag, and is to be honored and respected. The Confederate flag is our history, and should be remembered! But for me, my ancestors deserve remembered for the price they paid for their country (not forgotten). Even though they lost their war, they we're still Americans, right???? They certainly believed in their cause, though it was a "Lost Cause." Nevertheless, they we're American Veterans and shouldn't be disregarded and not remembered IMO.

We hope it doesn't come to that!!!! But a Mason Dixon line won't be the dividing line this time. It'll be people standing for what's ethically right, and what's ethically wrong! The final straw will be over guns. They will come after our guns one of these days, and that will cause a revolution IMO. They keep forcing their unconstitutional agendas down our throat as we speak, and we'll keep taking it. But when they come after our guns, well, that my friends won't go over well for a lot of us red blooded Americans (North & South)!

I SURE HOPE YOU ARE WRONG. THE GUN DEBATE I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT FOR A LONG TIME. I OWN SEVERAL GUNS, FOR HUNTING, TRAP SHOOTING, COLLECTING AND JUST FOR SENTIMENTAL VALUES. I TO WILL REALLY RAISE HE!! WHEN THEY COME FOR MINE. BUT IN ALL HONESTY I DO NOT THINK THEY WILL COME FOR THEM. THEY REALLY DO NOT NEED TO. THEY WILL JUST SHUT ALL THE AMMO PLANTS DOWN. THEN THE AMMO WILL DRY UP.!!!! JUST LOOK WHAT HAS HAPPENED WITH THE .22 AMMO. NOW IF THEY WOULD STOP IT ALL TOGETHER THAT WOULD SUCK AND THEY WOULD NOT NEED TO TAKE YOUR GUN.

SURE THERE WILL BE THOSE WHO SAY I HAVE STOCK PILED AMMO, WELL HOW LONG WILL THAT REALLY LAST.???

AGAIN I SURE HOPE IT DOSE NOT COME TO THAT.!!!

The confederate flag will always be flown at my house. The south fought for states rights not slavery. The Fed gov wantes they're cut of the cotton sold. Ol abe was wantin to only abolish slavery in the south. There was blacks in the north that owned slaves. And not to forget that the Africans themselfs are the ones that sold them to us. and even if i was black id be proud my ancesters came. Could u imagine if they didnt? Id still rather be here now knowing my family were once slaves than still bein in africa now. 90 percent of the population has aids. Tribes robbin and rapin each other. Theyre own gov comin in and shootin up the village.
I'm not a fan of the Fed gof myself. Nonstop wastin money. Givin themselfs raises. They're crooked.

Now look at heavy populated black areas like Baltimore or st Louis. Any reason possible to act like animals. And I don't even consider myself racist. But I do generalize till proven otherwise. I'm so tired of hearin bout this racism bs. Who cares? People are not goin to like people till the end of time get over it. I got really racist friends. But they're fun friendly and overall good people. And I have a full blood Mexican uncle who I love til death. And i have a 4 yr old nephew who is half black. And all he wants to do is fish and go out at nite coon hunting. And actually was runnin round wavin a confederate flag at Gettysburg rennactment just cause I got one at my house.

sad to say the least.....—The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Texas is allowed to reject a license plate design that featured a Confederate battle flag.

In a 5-4 decision authored by Justice Stephen Breyer, the court held that, "When the government speaks, it is not barred by the Free Speech Clause from determining the content of what it says."

"We hold that Texas's specialty license plate designs constitute government speech," Breyer wrote in an opinion joined by the unusual line-up of Justice Clarence Thomas, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Justice Sonia Sotomayor and Justice Elena Kagan. Breyer said that "Texas was consequently entitled to refuse to issue" the plates that were submitted by a group called the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV) and prominently featured the controversial Confederate battle flag.

The group sought to honor the reputation of soldiers who fought for the Confederacy during the Civil War.

Breyer said that because private speech was not at issue in the case, "just as Texas cannot require SCV to convey the State's ideological message, SCV cannot force Texas to include a Confederate battle flag on its specialty license plates."

Have u paid attention to the news? Bring it. It's a shame they gotta use a real tragedy like what happened to that church for a reason to eliminate the good ol boy. What about our feelings?
