Thanks Rob. A real American, a citizen of the US of A needs and wants just one flag. Any others are just a hobby, tribalism, or "dead people's baggage."

There's an idiot driving his big four wheel drive around town here, with a nylon 2nd Confederate Naval Jack flying aft on his rig, like the first one pictured in the article . I asked him if he was in the Confederate Navy. He was perplexed a bit.
NOT a battle flag you have there Skipper, it's a repro of the Confederate Navy flag. I just got the finger and he sped off. Another scholar.

The British Press amazes me. I guess there was nothing about the
Kardashian's to headline this week. Perhaps they should look a little
closer to home. There is a difference between history and hate.

Scott, anything related to the ACW catches my gaze these days, am just enthralled by the conflict . I have been for years and just didn't know it!:salute:: I am not on either side of the argument as I understand some of what the issues were for both, just love the scale, trauma, history of it all,

Why do you always have to turn everything into an insult normally aimed at my country. My posting this was as I say merely because it is related to the ACW.You should not be so sensitive as to see every item as an insult, or dig, sometimes its just passing on a story.

You took the words out of my mouth, "Why do you always have to turn everything into an insult normally aimed at my country. My posting this was as I say merely because it is related to the ACW.
