American by birth, Southerner by the grace of God!
I read that on a license plate years ago, and reminded me of my heritage. We all in this country have a heritage wherever we're from. But it just so happens that my family history is deeply rooted in Dixie Land. The flag to me represents the South's way of life today just as much as it represented the Confederacy of 1861-1865. It represents sweet tea, grits, fried tators, poke Salad, etc. It represent hospitality, politeness, respectful to you're elders, sitting on you're front porch with you're neighbor talking about hunting and the weather and enjoying the slower way of life. It represents going to church faithfully, it represents honoring you're word.
But let us not forget the southern patriots that fought and died for their way of life and heritage as well. To take away the Confederate flag is like spitting in the face of our heritage and condemning our way of life. I'll fly the flag as long as I live and it will be placed on my grave when I say goodbye to this ol world!
Don't get me wrong, I'm extremely patriotic towards the American flag as well. I believe in what the American flag stands for! And America is my home, and I believe we STILL live in the best country in the world. But I'm beginning to wonder how much the liberal agenda is taking away from what our flag stood for????? Sometimes I think they want to change the ol red, white, and blue to rainbow stars and stripes! Jmo
