>I sure don't see many liberals "tolerating" the Confederate Flag. But why should they tolerate it? Don't you understand what it represents? How would you react if Germany put the swastika back on its flag, just because it "symbolizes its heritage?" Good point! Anytime this issue is brought up, the South starts to whine states' rights. You would think the South had won the war! <g> ted

Z, <But why should they tolerate it? Don't you understand what it represents?> I don't think anyone who wants the Confederate flag flown in public believes in the return of slavery and Jim Crow. That is, except for the KKK, but they're a bunch of wackos anyway. By the way, I thought liberals didn't believe in right or wrong. What might be offensive to you could be a symbol of pride and heritage to someone else, right? What right do you have in "imposing" your values on Southerners? Think about it. The shoe is now on the other foot. Tenchusatsu
