Yeah You Might Win The War..

Hearts & Minds Are Another Matter

Hundreds rally to PROTECT the Confederate flag

'We are being exterminated,' cried Mike Williams, organizer of the procession in Montgomery, Alabama, which drew scores of men, women and children on Saturday afternoon. 'Our heritage is being put into museum. We have a right to honor our history just like everyone else does.'





My Comments About The Article AboveIt might just be me but when one side or the other surrenders, their flag is brought down and then retired. Apparently a whole lot of people never fully accepted Lee's surrender. That tells me many of these folks are still fighting the civil war no longer on the battlefield but still in their hearts & minds.

There's nothing wrong with honoring the legacy of those who so bravely fought for their beliefs. However I see something far more going on here. The battle continues to this day preventing people from becoming united as one single country with equal justice for each and every race, color, gender, religion or other persuasions. It's quite obvious to me defenders of the old South never truly integrated nor surrendered to the idea we should become a single nation within our hearts.

This isn't a battle over a piece of cloth but rather to not fully accept how others feel. Both sides are over reacting. Fly the damn thing. Paste it on your cars & license plates, but when you or someone responds against it there is a reasonable expectation it will not have a positive outcome. Nor would it be if someone wants to plaster their black panther logos & other nation's flags all over the place as well.

Come on kids, grow up. Knock it off already!
