This is appalling.

Do you know what that flag is?

Nothing. Not a God damned thing, historically.

It's similar to the Confederate Navy Jack and the battle colors of the Army of Northern Virginia, but it is neither.

I (honestly) respect the sacrifice of Confederate soldiers, even though I think their cause was wrong.

I absolutely despise people who bring in un-historical elements to the discusssion.

Appalling, and unnacceptable.
