    " I don't mind them flying the flags on their own property" . Biggest lie ever ! There's a case right now in Farmville where city council is going after a private owner of a large battle flag that sits on their own property , by cleverly trying to change and loophole zoning laws. They will continue to erase everything American in their path.

    To any Southerner who thinks that Lee and Jackson were great men and who respect and admire the flag and what it stands for but who are concerned, like the photographer @19:50, about offending people: it is noble to aspire to the attitudes of a Southern gentleman, to have good manners and to strive to not offend. However, you should bear in mind that those people are waging a war against everything for which you stand; all of your symbols, heroes, history, everything. As gentlemanly as Lee was, even he fought when it came time to do so.

Everything just has to be the way she wants it to be. I really have so much contempt for these busybodies. The staff of Washington and Lee is comprised of woke foreigners unfortunately.

    It’s not “sons of the confederacy” it’s sons of confederate veterans ! That means to be a member you have to be a male descendant of a confederate soldier or government official who served honorably . This is not some cosplay - our camp has a “real grandson” as a member - that means that man’s grandfather wore the grey and served in general Wade hamptons legion cavalry . My ancestors were in holcombe legion and the 1st SC orrs rifles (Gregg’s brigade , Hills division , Jackson’s Corp) - they were there at Fredericksburg and Antietam , they smashed the flank of the union army Chancellorsville , they bled at the crater during the siege of Petersburg …. If you think we will just forget and go away you are mistaken . We will remember them and honor them just as I honor my ancestors who scalped Ferguson atop kings mountain and slew pakenham at New Orleans with old hickory . God will shine his light upon Dixie ! God save the south !

    Sic semper tyrannis ! Dum spiro spero ! Deo vindice ! Support from sgt adam Washington ballenger camp 68 Spartanburg SC ! Maybe Mrs Anna Brodsky should stick to teaching about Marxism to her fellow trotskyites and stay out of our history…. I’m sure she has no problem with the Marxist racist BLM movement flags flying from public flag poles and being prominent in public areas …. If you think the southern cause of independence and the heroism of our forefathers will be forgotten then you have another thing coming ! Our ranks are growing every day and we will not back down ! Our SCV camp put up a $70k 120 foot tall confederate flag on interstate 85 in South Carolina and we are now fund raising for the Lee Jackson park in Virginia! “If I ever speak Ill of the cause for which Lee fought and Jackson died may god strike me down with a bolt of lightning and cleave my tongue to the roof of my mouth”

Why don’t they appreciate heritage and culture instead of trying to impose their views on an area with its own culture and values. People need to stop being offended at things that don’t concern them. It’s a very childish and immature way to view the world. Grow up.

    Patrick Hinley is just, yet again, another lying Leftist. Confederate day which coincides with the birth of General Lee and General Jackson has been a holiday in Virginia for a LONG time before King was even born. So, Lee/Jackson Day was first. The Confederate flags, which have flown on this day for decades, celebrate the lives of two of the greatest men, if not THE greatest men, in history. It was pressure from racist outside Lexington that caused the cowardly city council to ban ALL flags being flown outside city buildings. Lexington has a long history of flying Washington and Lee flags on the lamppost outside city shops when the Generals are playing in town and VMI flags when the Keydets are playing. These were also banned because once again the city council are jellyfish.
