When I see a Confederate flag in Michigan, like on a truck, I think why does that person hate my country? It's a symbol of terrorism, worse than Osama bin Laden's Al Qeada.
Why does that person hate my state, Michigan, from where over 16,000 of its men died 150 years ago fighting that flag? A California highway patrolman told me when he sees one, he thinks "meth user--follow me to the lab". I think: trouble going someplace to happen. |

How would everyone feel if I hung a huge flag with a Swastika on my private property... The Germans are embarrassed by that part of their proud heritage and what that flag represents.
This Confederate flag is not about race, it's about ignorance. As a proud white American I am embarrassed by this part of our history and don't need to have someone rub my nose in it with a flag. Please don't use my name if you choose to publish, unfortunately racism still exists. |

The Flag location was planned 10 years before it was raised . It's about heritage.
