... the Confederates of the Lost Cause .. yielded to superior force only after four years of fighting, but their battle flag has ever after been seen as a banner of rebellion, bravery and defiance.

And those tearing down the battle flags, and dumping over the monuments and statues, and sandblasting the names off buildings and schools, what have they ever accomplished?

They inherited the America these men built, but are ashamed at how it was built. And now they watch paralyzed as the peoples of the Third World, whom their grandfathers ruled, come to dispossess them of the patrimony for which they feel so guilty ...

2. Confederate soldiers built this country? Huh?

I'd say it was due more to the slaves they kept. How many more embarrassing has-beens do we need to watch grow old and stupid?

3. Of course Confederate soldiers were brave....

... so were the soldiers of the Third Reich. Or any other army in history.

That has nothing to do with the justice of their cause. Good people can fight for evil causes.

The flag...? It's the battle flag of the people who ended up costing the lives of 600,000 Americans. That group rebelled against the US government and fired on a Federal installation.

Traitorous. Plain and simple.
