3. I have nothing against Civil War reenactors

Heck, lots of national military parks like Gettysburg have reenactments. They are actually quite fascinating to watch.

6. Reenactors are basically just actors

I don't have any problem with that. I do have a problem with the people who drive around with the Confederate flag, or wave it around outside of reenactments-- they're not the kind of poeple I want to associate with. Like those guys hoisting that huge Confederate flag in the OP picture-- I would steer clear away from them.

7. And think of it this way

In the vast majority of reenacted battles, the guys "fighting" for the Stars and Bars are getting their asses beat.
If you go to the Gettysburg reenactment, for example, you'll know that Johnny Reb is always gonna get whooped.

5. Sometimes I just want to live on the Moon

I can't take it with these people.
