It's a flag.  Nothing more.  It's offensive to some.  To others it's a symbol of pride.  At the end of the day, it's still just a flag.  It's not motivating anyone to do anything.  Fly it.  Don't fly it.  Burn it.  Don't burn it. It's still just a flag regardless of the symbolism. 

 

People look for any possible way to be offended, and for the stars and bars, or the Nazi flag, it's easy to find things to be offended about.  But, last time I checked, there's nothing in the Constitution that says you have a right to NOT be offended.  If someone, including a state, wants to fly that flag over a confederate memorial, that's certainly their right.  That war was a national tragedy where that flag was defeated. 

 

People died to defend and to defeat that flag.  It has a deeply rooted place in American history regardless of how it offends people, or what motivates others to display it.
