The media has been dumping propaganda into the heads of the sheep for decades now trying to get it banned everywhere. Now they are using this as an excuse to go after it again. This is so stupid it must be pc and media endorsed.
It represents independence from tyrannical central govt. I already started a thread on this in the politics forum.
-------------------- “A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.” (attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville political philosopher Circa 1835) Trade list http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/18047755

Afaik, you'd still be quite welcome to fly it on your own property. The furor is over whether or not it should fly over a state property.

Why shouldn't they fly it over State Property? They fly the Mexican Flag over Texas and New Mexico.
Oh, I'm sorry. They fly the Hispanic Flag over Texas and New Mexico. wouldn't want to offend the PC crowd.

i don't think the confederate flag should be banned. but the lulzy truth of it is that it's ultimately the symbol from a period of american history when a group of white supremacists tried to form the bizarro united states and got their asses handed to them. if someone wants to advertise that they thought that was well thought out then i'm not going to stand in the way of them being idiots in public. the south has a truly unique and interesting culture and history, but the civil war and all of the dumbassery that's associated with "southern pride" are just not among those high points in my view. the civil war in general, from all sides, while interesting is nonetheless a truly wretched aspect of this country's past.

I dunno. That's a good question. As far as I'm concerned, they could fly the governor's underwear over the capital. I DGAF.

Waving the confederate flag today means "we are racist losers and proud of it". The same as waving a nazi flag today. It used to be fairly innocent but now we know better, well except for some sore losers who persist in their stupidity.
In a historic context its a great symbol though.
Its a great symbol anyway: the states that wanted to cross out freedom.
