Well, many of us have relatives who were drafted as young men and fought in the civil war. To my family from Louisiana, the Confederate battle flag was never a symbol of racism and I hate seeing it portrayed as such, which is what seems to have been the reason for not allowing it here.
I don't like the idea of people burning the U.S. flag either but they have that right so far. I believe there are some polititian's trying or have tried to pass laws against it though. Then it would be up to the courts. I was just using an example of an activity of legal protest against the federal government in response to your renegade flag comment.
