Go to this site and look at the "debate" over a similar letter to mine. A kid from U of Kentucky wrote a column and got these people fired up. Its very comical

I don't even know where to start. These people are batshit retarded, that's for certain.
I'll say that I have previously heard the claim that the South was on its way towards abolishing slavery at the time of the Civil War and that the real motivation came from wealthy Northern industrialists, but I'm pretty sure that's not entirely correct. There are a lot of semantic issues that the responders raise in that thread, such as the definition of "treason" and that 18,368 different versions of the "Confederate" flag exist so the stars-and-tards isn't really the "Confederate" flag and other such bullshit that fails to address any of the salient points of the original piece.
A number of the responses are personally defensive when the piece wasn't attacking anyone personally, just the arguments often given for displaying the American Swastika. No, not all Southerners are racist now, nor were all Confedrate soldiers slave-owner then. But for a great many years now the American Swastika has represented a horrible practice that we no longer consider defensible and nothing will ever change that. The flag, and what one thinks favorably of it, doesn't exist in a vaccuum, which is something that these dolts can't wrap their atrophied brains around.
Any good responses to your article in the UF paper?
No. They dropped it and went on to attacking other people. I don't think they know how to have a rational argument.
I'm currently arguing with a fellow SG Senator who has...issues. I can't post it here, but I'll share it if I see you in person over the Christmas break.
