Should confederate flags at old soldiers' gravesites be left alone?

Across the South, families still honor their fallen confederate relatives in cemeteries, at their final resting place. I'm not sure where this nationwide furor to remove all things confederate will end, but even as a native of Michigan, I believe that it should stop at the cemeteries. Let the warriors rest in peace. Let their families honor them with any flag they choose: Confederate or American. Leave it alone.

ABSOLUTELY!!! Its a grave site. An area of sorrow and memories. Hallowed grounds. Leave these areas alone.

Absolutely! This whole Confederate Flag situation has really gotten way out of hand. How many RP Members think it is time for the public and government should put this issue to bed?

As a individual raised in Illinois I don't understand why our country is talking about removing a confederate flag but there is no argument about any other flag. I now live in California and I'm tired of seeing foreign flags waving across this land. At least the confederate flag "is" American.

My great grandfather fought on the Union side probable because he lived in NY city.
The Confetderate battle flag has never offended me its a reminder of different ideologies

SGT Anthony. Because we live in a time when the loud moth waste of air have more rights than the many. As example the Black Lives Matter movement inflicts there will on people with threats. Its time the needs of the many overrule the wants of the big mouths.

I have great-great grandfather that fought and died in the civil war as many people do. I think removing the flag from his gravesite would be wrong. This whole flag thing is getting out of hand. The flag had nothing to do with who killed those people in that church. He just happened to be wearing one on his jacket. If he had been wearing the rainbow flag symbolizing Gay Pride would we now have a national outcry to get rid of that flag too?

No of course not, because only Confederate Battle Flags are racist and if you tried to get rid of Gay Pride Rainbow flags, not only would you be a racist but you'd be insensitive too!
That was sarcasm in case it didn't translate well over the Internet.
