Wait, I have no problem with people who fly the Confederate flag, but shouldn't it be taken off PUBLIC buildings and areas?

If the people of that state, or city in some cases are OK with flying that flag, who am I to tell them that they can't? The federal government can't tell states not to fly it, and states can't tell charter cities not to fly it either. Since the flag has no official status, it probably shouldn't be flown in front of government buildings, but I'm not going to tell people in other states and cities what to do.

Now, this is an argument that at least has some merit, unlike China's mewlings, who's still squalling on in a desperate, futile attempt to appear better than others.

I still say it's up to the states. If the citizens of states choose to boot it from public buildings, they are welcome to pressure their respective governments to do so.

It's the flag of treason against America.

The Democrats are trying to bait Conservatives into a Confederate Flag debate so they can stir up more propaganda before an election. They are retarded.

That was the argument during the 1980's, and the old Democratic guard was having none of that noise...

I don't care WHAT flag is flown above a building

Each state has it own flag

It'll be more visibly outside my balcony in Brooklyn anyway.

stars and stripes is a racist flag that flew over slavery for 80 years

It should be in a museum or destroyed. People need to decide.
