They have no right to take our flag. just because some nut case wants to shoot people in a church doesn't have any means connected to that flag. IF HE WOULD OF HAD AN AMERICAN FLAG IN HIS PICTURES, WOULD THE CRAZY PEOPLE BE WANTING TO TAKE THAT FLAG AWAY TOO????

If the homosexuals can fly their flag, why can't we? It means just as much to us as it does to them.

how is it that we blame a flag for a persons hatred towards another. wake up people flags, guns, and other inanimate objects don't breed hate or racism ,the people of the world do. whether the flag flies or not there will still be racism as sad as it is to admit. some people just can't understand that a person is a person no matter the tone of their skin...but the Confederate flag has no care of your skin color and is celebrated and was fought for by both black and white people . all our flags should fly, our ancestors fought and many died to make sure it would stand long after they were gone.

The flag is part of US history. It represents states rights. I certainly was not just about slavery.

Slavery took place under the U.S. flag, so by what political correctness is dictating then the Y.S. flag should also be banned because slavery was condonedb by the U. S government long before the South left the U.nion. Banni f anything to do with the South and Civil War is political correctness run amok. This shows how people are illiterate in history. Why can Blacks turn the U.S. flag I to African colors of red, green, black and it is not considered racist. There is a double standard and Blacks loot and burn to get their way War
