The high-falutin' feller over at Civil War Bookshelf has a link to this article about the Confederate flag.

This line pretty much sums up my feelings on it.

"I feel cheated. As if the flag had been stolen from me..."

It makes my blood boil to see those idiots in the klan and all the neo-nazi skinhead jackasses waving the battle flag alongside the nazi flag.

The flag represents a lot of different things to different people, but thanks to these idiots half the people in the south and damn near everyone in the rest of the country see it ONLY as a symbol of rascism.

The way I look at it, they've contaminated my heritage.
