#2 The flag is today's Rorschach test. A piece of cloth used by people to project their views of which not one is exclusive. It's all and it's none. One group has its definition of it while other groups have theirs. The real conflict is inherit to the groups, not the piece of cloth. It's all about POWER. There is a quick receding of tolerance and the growing demand of subservience and submission. The Left knows no limits other than power.

#3 When did it become de rigueur in our country to not be able to talk about anything without PC goons (liberals, politiicians, MSM) attempting to shut it down? All the more reason for a guy like Trump to talk and frame the issues and debate. The rest of the crowd running for office has been far too PC for fear of losing some possible votes. Trying to destroy a flag will just drive it underground.

Blacks fought for the Confederacy? Now there's a narrative the left does not want to be a part of history.

#4 Towards the end, freedom for service. Sort of like, citizenship for service.

#5 There were a lot of free blacks in the Confederate army. They served in the same units as whites and we're paid the same. Most were in the cavalry.
