Most of us

Southerners defend our flag, because it was a symbol of

the South and, of course, anyone up North wants anything

Southern to be wiped off the history books. It is also a

well-known fact that as soon as a Yankee moves to the

South, he wants to change everything to suit his Northern

upbringing. Some of us remember when the South was

strictly Southern and we had a gentler, kinder place to

live.

But never

mind the fact that the South has again been invaded by

carpetbaggers, this country has gone to pot anyway; a

good example of that was the Monica incident in the

Whitehouse and the Democrats that voted to leave this man

in office. Another example is the way that all the

television stations made a hero out of a man who fled to

England to avoid the draft. If everyone did that there

would be no need for a civil rights movement, we would be

like China, and everyone who goes against the government

way of thinking would be killed by tanks and rifles.

So Mr.

Parker, most of us from the South feel that it is our

God-given right to fly the Confederate flag here in the

South over every building we think plausible. Should you

decide that is not reasonable, please feel free to go

back up North and take a few thousand other carpetbaggers

with you.

Frankly, my

dear, most of us don't give a darn what you think, and

your "darkie" idea offends most of us. Most

Southerners are tired of being blamed for slavery. My

family history had no slaves, nor did most Southerners,

who were just poor dirt farmers, struggling to survive,

and who suffered at the hands of the North and

carpetbaggers. However, most of us today are a

well-educated, well-informed people who won't be again a

victim of the North.
