    I would go even further and call them traitors. They are not just expressing allegiance to a racist idealogy, but expressing allegiance to a nation that broke away from the United States, fought a war, was defeated and then occupied. Flying a confederate flag expresses is not an expression of pride, but a statement of allegiance to the Confederate States of America which was an enemy of the United States.
     
  2. To add on to what's been said, remember that what we call the Confederate flag was really a battle emblem -- It's not the Stars and Bars. That was the actual CSA flag -- that was revived in the 1950's as a symbol of resistance to the movement to end the American form of apartheid. Since then, if you wave it, you're a racist.

    It's accelerated for the once-in-a-generation National Merit scholar who wants to get the fuck out of Dodge and make something of themselves.
