Um, it's a Southern thing and you wouldn't understand? I personally don't fly or own any confederate flags, just U.S. flags. Since I'm neither a racist nor a bigot I prefer to see the rebel flag as a sign of State's Rights (which I do support) rather than slavery/hate/racism/klan/etc. In my neighborhood you're more likely to see the South Vietnam flag flying in defiance of the communists that took their country away from them. However, were I to come into possession of a '69 Dodge Charger I would definitely paint it orange, put a rebel flag on the roof and the 01 on the doors. I'm blonde so I'd have to find a friend with dark curly hair to ride shotgun ;)
