Fly it on your own property if you want to show your "southern pride" taking it off public property in no way infringes on the 1st amendment.Nope, it was never associated with armed insurrection and racist hate groups who used to hang people at nice picnics with children present.Why are you defending it? The thing was popularized by the KKK in the 1920s during their heyday of wide social acceptance, practically everyone concerned with this issue knows it's history at this point.You don't even realize that flag wasn't the Confederate National flag, it was used in battle, never flew over Confederate government buildings and never flew over slave ships. You're just running around, waving your arms and squawking
I defend the rights of people to exercise their freedom of speech and expression. I can't stand the sight of a gay pride flag, it offends me. Should they be banned?
That's not the point. People have a Constitutional right to freedom and expression. You start selectively banning things and you open Pandora's box.
Then no Pride flags on public property, they offend me....see where this is going? You've opened Pandora's box
