I don't agree with the ban - let them have it. But, don't make it a symbol that it is not; freedom. It is a symbol of hate and racism.

Then what is this symbol and why does walmart still sell it?

Some estimates say that 78,000,000 people were killed since China adopted that flag. China still represents a very oppressive regime more so than the confederate states could ever imagine.

Nice distraction of the real issues at hand though. The confederate battle flag is a part of our history which has long passed. China on the other hand is still hacking federal databases, stealing intellectual property, claiming all of the south china sea... and more. yet the MSM pushes this crap and liberals jump on the bandwagon.

Muslims Outraged After Boston Bomber Buried In Confederate Cemetery

http://www.duffelblog.com/2013/05/m...boston-bomber-buried-in-confederate-cemetery/

I suggest looking up the meaning of the word "gullible"

A Brief History Since 1797, Duffel Blog has been serving the men and women of the American military with insightful commentary and hard-hitting journalism. While other agencies have sometimes run from possibly scandalous stories, Duffel Blog has been known to be edgy and ahead of its time, almost as if they could see into the future. After reporting on President John Adams’ $200 per week cocaine habit in March 1799, Duffel Blog was named The American Military’s Most-Trusted News Source by the Columbia Journalism Review and the nickname stuck.

Duffel Blog is sometimes referred to as “The military version of The Onion,” but this is a popular misconception. The misnomer was cleared up in May 2012 when DB staff successfully conducted an airborne assault on the offices of The Onion News Network so that others would know “The Onion was actually the civilian version of Duffel Blog.”

Duffel Blog was nominated for The Pulitzer Prize in 2012 “for continued excellence in journalism,” and has been recognized as a world leader in modern media by other, unworthy news outlets such as The Wall Street Journal, National Public Radio, The Military Times, NBC News, Gizmodo, USA Today, and Business Insider.
