To the editor:

As a conservative and a Republican, I need to express my objection to the Eaton conservative group for displaying the Confederate battle flag, an offensive symbol of rebellion against our republic and of hate.

I don't see Ron as any conservative I am familiar with. I don't find the battle flag offensive and 2 members of my family fought leading black troops in the "War to free the slaves." Very few southerners owned slaves and only those that were very rich, It was more about States rights and even before the war most of the importation of slaves had stopped and was out lawed. It was the British who brought slaves to the new world for rich British "Gentry" land owners.

"Binding up the nations wounds" does not apply to todays insults brought by a stolen election and the willful invasion by illegal entry types sponsored by a corrupted electoral process. The only way it may seem to address the carefully orchestrated crises is when a majority of us WAKES up and sees the assault upon us for what it is. The left communists have orchestrated an invasion that is meant to cripple us. So far it is working. How much more will it take before we rise up? Fly your battle flag It is not meant to be racist. The BLM flag is a racist symbol. It advocates the hate of white people who ever they may be. The self loathing whites who fly it don't seem to be able to see that.
