Torone - if you want to fly the loser's flag, feel free to do so. No matter how hard you try and spin it, that symbol means the same thing to millions of Americans that the Nazi symbols mean. As a matter of fact, the modern Nazis and the skinheads and the other bottom-feeders are quite fond of it themselves.
If you are comfortable associating yourself with what that flag has come to represent, I have no problem with it.
My comments ONLY addressed the inclusion of the "stars and bars" on State flags and state insignia.
And Mike, while in theory I agree with

We should educate people about the flag and the war, and not let a bunch of skin heads destroy Southern Culture.

I think you are far too late - you have no more chance of overcoming the stigma that those folks have put on the stars and bars than you do explaining the cultural importance of the Swatztika to the Anti-Defamation League.
