I agree the "battle flag" of the Confederacy should not be flown on government grounds but people should have the right to fly it without others ascribing heinous motives to them. The First Amendment was put there to protect speech, especially speech most don't agree with. For some groups to try to suppress that right is both arrogant and dangerous. We should be able to debate these complicated issues without being labeled "hater" or "racist". If we treat the First Amendment so lightly, anyone's dissent or opinion on any issue can be suppressed in the future.John E Nevola -The Last Jumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09662007649144465894noreply@blogger.com
