I live in rural upstate NY & see this vile flag flying on poles and windows of homes & trucks. It just sickens me as My Paternal Great Great Uncle died at Gettysburg & Great Great Grandfather & his 2 sons all wounded in Antietam.
The confederacy was shown way to much leniency & Jeff Davis, Bobbie Lee & the rest of the fucking traitors should of been swinging on a noose!
