Comment on California city bans non-government flags, angering LGBTQ groups
horsey@lemm.ee 9 months agoIs that really what you believe? That they would fly the flag of their failed rebellious nation for reconciliation and not continued defiance? Wouldn’t showing full support for the US as a nation be more of a show of unity?

Considering it’s documented in history. Yes.
It was a show of unity to respect the dead confederate soldiers but push the leadership out. That’s what happened.

That’s funny you think things like that are “documented”. The South being pretty unhappy with the outcome of the war is “documented” too btw. So why would they still be flying it in 2015? Why honor vets killed in a treasonous rebellion 160 years ago and not say, WW1, WW2, Vietnam, Korea, Iraq or Afghanistan? How about a POW MIA flag?

Why are you asking me?

Because you apparently believe something different and asserted it to me.
