Tec, what do you think the flag stands for?
It means different things to different people.

"It is becoming harder and harder to find public figures who aren't suddenly on board with at least considering ditching this archaic symbol of racist insurrection. Harder, but not impossible."

Stewart pointed to one Republican state senator who compared removing the flag to "a Stalinist purge."

"Removing a flag would not really be Stalinist purge style," Stewart countered. "Stalin, what would he do? He'd probably keep the flag, but whitewash it of its associations with slavery and secession, and then concoct some bizarre narrative about, 'Actually, it just represents something lovable and positive — the kind of thing you just slap on a shirt or the back a truck.' And then he'd say this dual meaning would justify not just keeping it, but elevating it, honoring it. Fortunately, Americans wouldn't fall for such Stalinist…"

STEWART NAILED EARWIG AND ***** TO A TEE

To ME, it's stands for a bunch of redneck hicks who refuse to move past the fact that they lost the war 150 years ago.

And what right was the South trying to protect when they fought that war?

You do realize, don't you, that I am not arguing in favor of keeping the flag flying in public places?  That I have already said it should come down?

The South was fighting for independence from the North, much like the colonies did during the American Revolution in 1775.

The American Revolution is remembered as the "war for independence",  Not the "war against taxation without representation".

And why did the South feel they needed independence?
