I don’t get it. People who are so bent out of shape about ANYONE disrespecting the U.S. flag are the same ones who want to fly the Confederate one proudly. The irony is as thick as their skulls.

... and its war against the United States, and the institution of slavery.

THAT is what they "honor" with the Confederate battle flag and statues of those who fought for the "Lost Cause."
