Actually racial preference groups such as the KKK and the NAACP fly the Stars and Stripes as their official flag in front of their headquarters and during their rallies and meetings!! Only a few lessor known racial groups fly The Confederate Battle Flag. In St. Louis, the same flag that stood over the sale of slaves at the Old Courthouse still flies there today. When votes are to gained by selling out this part of our heritage, pride and honor, is their any doubt that Rep. Dick and Gov. Bob will be some of the first in line! First our heritage and honor, then our liberties!
