^ Please enlighten me since you seem to say it was about State rights, what those states wanted the "right" to do?

Nobody is banning the flag from personal use, so you can still fly it all you want. The issue was should a state fly it at their state capital? And yes apparently to a degree that flag inspired and was unfortunately used in the justification of killing those 9 people.

We shouldn't be flying anything at government properties or buildings. The United States Capitol in Washington D.C. is the only place where it is actually required there be a flag in my book.

EVERY politician and state department should have to work out of a 12 foot trailer with a phone and computer. Have you seen the government buildings these days? There usually the biggest buildings in every town. That's absurd and a waste of money. Hell, you can hold a court meeting under a tent as far as that goes. In a trillions deficit, we need to rethink what we bitch about in this country. A flag is not one of them. Spending millions of tax payer dollars for statues of dead people from either side is plain stupid. Jefferson Davis statue- STUPID. Abraham Lincoln statue-STUPID. Let a museum pay for them and put them up if they are that important. We have books if you want to see them. We should take those federal buildings and turn them into schools. Go into Williamsburg. There is no reason for that monstrous judicial center other than a look what I have thinking. Theres a courthouse right across the street with empty rooms and could have been added onto.

If you want to end this non stop bitching and moaning about stupid stuff, strip all government properties of everything. And I mean everything from the wall papers to a flag in the front. Its a waste of tax money.
