Confederate Battle Flag

[politicallefty]

I suppose there's a strong case that can be made that it is treasonous in today's context. However, that can be extended to anyone that supports independence or revolution. It's just a matter of who wins the war. It's pretty much the same as war crimes tribunals. Only the losing side pays the price. As much as I despise that flag and all it represents, those that flew it were no more traitors of the Constitution than the signers of the Declaration of Independence were against the Crown.

I have a personal disgust with whoever flies that flag today (especially those outside the South), but I do think it is constitutionally-protected free speech.
