In sort, this is a display of someone who is clearly out of touch with the facts. As anyone who takes time to read the details knows… those who choose to do so can still carry the flag through Lexington, and even place flags on the grave of Jackson (Lee’s is a bit more complicated considering it’s in a vault, with a gate, and on W&L property… but, of course, the statue upstairs, in the chapel, is surrounded by authentically replicated flags, on replica poles made by… the local camp of the SCV… but, of course, that’s not enough to quench the THIRST for it all, I suppose), the Pendletons, Letcher, Paxton, etc., etc.

Oh, and yes, about the “boycott” that some propose… pure idiocy. Sure, stop spending those dollars in Lexington… at the Jackson House, the VMI Museum, the Lee Museum in the basement of the chapel… to cut off those tax dollars to the town… and watch those exhibits that display the REAL items (as opposed to the print Confederate flags made in China) from the Confederacy disappear from display… as the they essentially cut off funding for the museums that display these things.

Of course, reality being what it is, such a boycott might sting a little, but people who don’t take note of the loud voices from a very few will still visit.

The town opted not to fly the flag anymore. So what!? Moving on…
