@Frodo:
The stars and bars represent Southern nationalism to me. I consider the symbol somewhat offensive since the CSA would hypothetically - in my opinion - be more opposed to my stances on a multitude of issues concerning individual liberty, social justice, the environment, economy, and international affairs than the USA is already. Yet it is also a bit heroic because I reckon a people ought to be self-deterministic and have a government that both serves their best interests and is accountable to them. So depending on the context of its flying I either consider the flag in question revolutionary and noble or chauvinistic and worthy of contempt.
