Dear Editor:
For me the Confederate flag represents a people’s willingness to stand against the tyranny of an overreaching government. Its presence is a reminder, and therefore threatening to government officials and leftists, that the blood of those who fought for limited government runs through their descendants’ veins, and reminds those descendants and others of the responsibilities and Constitutional rights of citizens. I realize there are others who hold a different opinion of the flag, but must wonder why their view is given superiority and preference over mine.

The flag did not cause that coward to kill in cold blood nine of
my brothers and sisters in Christ. Opportunists who are determined to
eradicate all symbols of the Confederacy and those who are taken in by
their emotional appeal are using their deaths to forward an agenda and
should be ashamed. It is well known and proven by history that one of
the best ways to destroy a people’s identity is to denigrate and remove
its symbols and history.
Even ISIS understands this. We, in the United States, are experiencing this firsthand.
These opportunists are purposely creating division, and I am disappointed that Gov. Bentley has joined the quest.
