Writer right about battle flag
November 19, 2008I am in disagreement with much of what Mr. Brandt Ayers writes. However, most recently he wrote "Southerners take satisfaction from those who use the flag (the Stars and Bars) like a punch in the nose to meddling, stuck-up Yankees and liberals."
For me this has always been the reason for the huge flagpole north of Montgomery on I-65 flying the Confederate battle flag. This is basically a pointy stick in the eye of the people who don’t like it and who can’t do anything about it.
