At what point have I paid homage to it? I've merely supported others' rights to express themselves as they see fit. As I said at the beginning of this conversation, the only flag flying at my house is the U.S. flag. No offense to Jeff, but I'm not redneck enough to fly a confederate flag, and my wife certainly wouldn't go along with it. Mark, you're the one complaining about censorship yet you want to attack others based on the flag they fly. Should we burn and bury all of the confederate flags so we forget the experiences of our history just so you won't be offended?
