A flag, any flag, is a symbol – I get that. And the Confederate flag has always been a bit edgy, which is exactly why it is so popular, kind of a “in your face, up yours” attitude that was both anti-government, anti-politically correct, anti-Miss Manners and was nicely summed up by Wayon Jennings singing about The Dukes of Hazzard, who were rather Robin Hood-like icons of the late 1970’s – early 1980’s
Just'a good ol' boys Never meanin' no harm. Beats all you never saw Been in trouble with the law Since the day they was born
Staightnin' the curves Flatnin the hills Someday the mountain might get 'em But the law never will Makin' their way The only way they know how That's just a little bit more Than the law will allow.
But now instead of discussing the gun, the hate-mongering, the callousness of that shooting in the church, all I am hearing about is how the flag has to go, likening the impact that it has these days to the offense that the Nazi swastika gives. Now I’m not saying that they are wrong, if the flag is that offensive to others, then go it must. But I have to admit that I don’t see how taking down the stars and bars will change the needs for gun control, teaching tolerance and learning empathy.
