Doesn't that have a bit of a satirical meaning? A rainbow? I am a big believer in free speech so I do not agree with stores not selling the flag. However, it has no place on government property, except on historic civil war sites as a legitimate part of understanding history. It is a flag of an enemy of the United States of America, and has no more place than flying a nazi flag on USA property or an ISIS flag.
Besides there are legitimate reasons to buy the flag. Like civil war sites and reenactments.
In a way I could almost justify it being part of state flags and the like. It can serve as a constant reminder of what was, and the sacrifices made to abolish slavery and jim crow. It is very dangerous to forget history.

No, it is not. I am from a rural area of a midwestern state and the head quarters for the regional KKK. These were bad mother fuckers that cooked meth. I know a person, first hand not a bullshit friend of friend story, that was chased through a local town by a member of the KKK for pissing that member off in a traffic thing. The member pointed his gun at the kid. This was before cell phones.
The family of the grand wizard had their property raided by a joint police task force led by the FBI when I was in high school. This was less after 2000. So know, it is not a dead symbol.

Here is where I have conflict with this matter. All of this big-to-do over a flag...Because of how some people interpret the past, and present meaning of such symbol. In America, should we destroy any symbol that could be taken in any such way?
My argument is this. If the confederate flag, representing states right in the 2nd war of independence brought on by the succession of individual states resisting a central power is taken by many people to represent Pro-Slavery, murder, death, and destruction, and racism, and therefor removed from public eyes, despite varying interpretations, then should we not also remove EVERY symbol from ANY government sponsored location?
For example: The Star of David, on many different Medals by the military. (BUT IM NOT JEWISH) The Bald Eagle, (It represents violence to me, and it looks like a NAZI Hawk) The Redskins football Logo. (I find it offensive) NO MORE RAINBOWS FOR GAY PEOPLE!!! (Im Irish, and there is no pot of gold and im not gay!!!) What about The Statue of Liberty!?!? Why is it a female!?! I take offense to that too, and yet the Gov. protects it because its history??
They are now in the process of removing confederate flags from graveyards, of ancestors of people who died serving what they believed is right!!!....If you have the right to desecrate and dishonor my heritage, than by god, I have the right to deny yours.
I can only hope that in this attempt to erase the memory of the Civil War, that people will not actually forget what happened, and why.
History that s forgotten is soon repeated.
Oh yea! i forgot the American Red Cross! Uhhh What if im not christian??? I disagree with it being a Red Cross...Im offended by that too...the government needs to take that down too.
