KingFisher, interesting post, although very hard to read and follow in one paragraph with all the capital letters. My husband and I often argue over the Stars and Bars. Personally, I find it to be a part of history. Unfortunately, some people are inflamed by it and therefore I wish he would stop plastiering it all over our vehicle before some crackpot shoots ME in the head because it ticked them off. He does it not exactly to offend people but because he believes, like you seem to, that it is a symbol of the South that needs to be preserved. I find the design infinitely more visually appealing than any other flag from anywhere, actually. I find it far less offensive to see a rebel flag than I find it to see foreing flags flying in this country, that is for certain. whoever decided it was meant as a personal affont to black people or anyone else is feeble minded as far as I'm concerned. After all, even though the states seceeded over slavery, the war was, historically, over whether or not they had the right to seceed, not slavery at all. My husband has a reather wonderful shirt with generals Grant and Lee on it with their respective flags. He was told he couldn't wear that shirt into Wal Mart several years ago. I find the refusal to allow him in the store with it far more repulsive than I find the flag. There was a silver dollar made years ago that had that same depiction. My father carried one in his pocket for years. Why wasn't that offensive? I guess there are those who would like to erase history but not only will that never happen, we may wind up repeating it sooner than we think if the federal gov't doesn't get their heads out of their behinds and start taking steps to unite this country rather than encourage further division by supporting foolish notions that trample the freedom of Americans to publicly display things that are pleasing to them such as flags, Bible verses, etc. |
