perhaps the most damning case against the "states rights" argument is how narrow of a scope the confederate battle flag actually covers - it wasn't the strongest symbol of the confederacy in the first place. it was appropriated to have a different meaning than what people like to tote. |

Honestly speaking, Corderlain is just out of touch. Most people I know from here down to Tennessee started flying confederate flags after the controversy. It's not an icon of anything except a knee-jerk reaction to the recent social landscape. The only thing it means to the people flying it is that the libruls get whiny about it. If you try to argue that there's anything more to it, then you're either hilariously out of the know, or you're a dumbass. |
| Corderlain:
You're obviously the expert on this. That's why it's been a cultural symbol for the past 100 years. |
