UI thought you guys wanted Civil War stuff in a museum. This is a Civil War Battlefield. It is a living museum.
So, you now you don't want them at museums, either? thanks for clarifying, and confirming what so many are saying. You can never be satisfied until everything is removed.

Hey, I appreciate you admitting that this lashing out is your way of "pay back". At least you are honest for once.

That's pretty stupid. It's a museum, so they should fly the flag in historical context. This crosses the line. Unlike the statues.

What in the world are you talking about? You keep saying put the statues and flags in museums. nwo you want them out of the museums!
We have shown you numerous occasions where the losers flag is being flown over battlefields. I'm surprised you are still in this thread since you have been proven wrong.

Let me be clear in the interest of fairness. I live about 10 minutes from Nash farms.
The flagpole is on the property near the museum, but not directly next to the museum. Nash farms provides Historical tours and day camps for school children.
It is an Historical battlefield in which reenactments take place 1-2 times a year. The flags that fly there are not inside a building, but are certainly a part of the museum.

Until you personally are face to face with death daily, you have no idea what it takes to make them fear you as much as you fear them.

Yeah I think they should stay. There is historical context there. Anyone who doesn't see that is uneducated.

Wait, flying the flag over a plot of land filled with dead Brits does not represent those dead Brits?
The mental gymnastics you employ is absolutely amazing.
Who does it represent then? Some folks from Burma?
Why does anyone bother with you?

There isn't a specific reason for the Confederate flag to fly at a Confederate Battlefield?

Oh. And here is one from Gettysburgh
