Yer right, EJ...

Wes Ginny was a Union State... Further evidence that the Confederate flag has nothin' to do with "heritage"...

Soon as you enter Wes Ginny on Rt. 9 from Virginia there's a house on the left side of the road that has for years displayed not one, but two big Confederate flags... Confederate flag decals adorn the rear windows of easily half the pick-up trucks... Round these pasrts of Virginia, it isn't as bad... Bad, but not as bad as Jeffereson County, WV...

The point I was making is that, yeah, there are a lot of folks who are historians who gather to talk battles and troop movements and all that military stuff... Hey, I can understand that... My brother-in-law is one... He can tell you every battle in the Civil (which it wasn't) War, owns several period rifles, reads all the books but this man would never, ever stick a Confederate flag on his car or out in front of his house...

I think it would be very interesting to round up about 10 random flag wavers/displayers and sit them down in front of a camera and have them explain "their heritage" in terms of family members who had died at various battles... Or battles themselves... Or really anything that has to do with history... I think if that were to happen and have it filmed and broadcast it would be very interesting... Face it, these are just angry rednecks with no particular interest in either their heritage or history...
