I don't have a Confederate Flag nor have I ever owned one. I was just pointing out the flaws in your logic.

Don't be so fast to confuse your government with your country.

I've got the "You lost, get over it" sticker on my one of my guitars.

While I don't get upset when I see someone with rebel flags, it just tells me that we would never, ever get along, and to stay the fuck away from them. It's just better for mental health, both mine and theirs.

I think I'm going to buy a Lincoln car and place a confederate flag on it. All for irony's sake.

Just put a sticker underneath the flag that says, "It's irony, jackass".

Not much of a flaw. The US has stood for many disgusting things over time, like other countries, and I'll be the first to say that (Molson pointed a few) - but it was not formed with the goal of upholding one of the vilest institutions of our time. To suggest the US flag stands primarily for anywhere near the kind of evil that the Confederacy does is absurd.

It doesn't really matter why anything was formed. If the day before the confederacy ceded from the union, it was the union that was upholding the institution of slavery, then the US Flag stood for it. Both flags have a stigma for it. And the reality is that for me, I can still take pride in the American flag because of what it means to me. Some southerners still take pride in that flag but I'm not convinced it's for racist reasons. (Although I am fully aware that racists and idiots abuse the flag for their own vile reasons.)
