The country is falling apart for the religious right. The end is nigh. Next we start herding the christian majority into concentration camps.

Hey Americans what's the big deal about this flag? Is it a symbol of imperialism or something? Weren't the States a confederation before becoming by mutual consent a federation?

It's the battle standard for states which seceded in defense of a state's right to maintain the legal chattel slavery of black Americans.

Just wait until all the protesters show up screaming about "heritage" and "states rights".

I think there are some people for whom it truly represents something besides racism, but I also believe they're a minority, and if they had a little more empathy, they would realize it should not be displayed on the State House grounds with the imprimature of the State.
