... If a person wants to wave the Confederate flag on their private property, I am a firm believer that is their constitutional right ...
I don’t condemn the belief that soldiers, even the great-grandfather of the couple in the article, fought for “love of thy state;” however, the Confederate government and the people who sent these young men to die by the thousands, did so to protect an evil ... institution ...
