Ideals are peaceful, but history is violent. We in all our infinite wisdom cannot change that. That is a fact. I fly a Confederate flag. Why, you may ask. I fly it to honor our 13 original states. Hmmm. I wonder how many people can name them. I probably am being branded as a racist, no I honor those patriots who were before us. I have not had one person ask me why I fly it, now I guess it can be told. God bless America.
