Funny how folks with common sense look at that pic and see nothing but a southerner carrying a Confederate flag.  Then you have folks on the other side who's heads will explode at the sight of that.

When hate is uppermost in your mind, you find it everywhere you look.  Even when it's not there!

We have a common heritage.  Nothing can erase that.

its easier to say it was Slavery and that's bad then get into the actual Geo Political and Economic Issues involved.

that one side was fighting and dying for what it thought was an Issue of Freedom and self Government is too complicated to explain.

now its just tearing apart a Heritage those People know nothing about.

the Confederate Cemetery's are full of Dead Americans just like any Union Cemetery, its about Flags and Statues and renaming lakes and Streets.

forgetting the dead and the cause is easier when they are made into Villains.

As will the East, the North, and the West.  Never bet against the nasty nature of man.

Never forget our Southern heritage and the illegal invasion of the Northern barbarians. 

we may have lost the war but we were undefeated

Wars are hardly ever over after they are won or lost.

Tallahassee was the only Confederate Capitol not under Union control when Lee surrendered at Appomattox Court House.  We just re-enacted the Battle of Natural Bridge this past weekend remembering the "beat back" of the Union forces trying to attack Tallahassee

Because of this image.  I made it a point to start doing some serious reading.  

I'd love to chat with this man about what he knows.

At some point Congress passed a law declaring Confederate veterans - dead and alive - were in fact American veterans and should be honored the same as Union veterans.
