Properly Burning & Replacing my Confederate Flag (aka Southern Cross)

It’s time to replace my 5’x8’ Confederate Flag (aka Southern Cross). This video depicts removing the torn, tattered & faded flag, then giving it a proper burning ceremony and replacing it with a premium 100% cotton embroidered flag from Rebel Nation.

As you’ll see, while burning the old flag, it was partially polyester; hence it melted as it burned. The upside of the previous flag was that it was light, so it didn’t take much wind to lift it to sail. The downside of this new flag is that it’s heavy, so it will only sail in higher winds. As I’ve posted before.

I have a great deal of respect for those that fought and died during WWII. The war has been called the “greatest war,” and their people then have been called “the greatest generation.” I couldn’t imagine dying or becoming maimed for the freedoms of other people in another Country. Nonetheless, I believe an even greater war and greater people than those in WWII are those who fought in the Civil War on the Confederate side. They fought and died for the lives and liberty of their own State and the Southern States. They fought against a tyrannical enemy within America that invaded the South. They fought against the DC swamp, I mean, septic tank.

And so, I fly this flag in respect and honor of them and the South. In 2008, I removed the U.S. Flag from our flagpole. Though the South is not sinless, but as a bondslave to Christ, I could no longer stand united with the United States of America. I stand more united with the Confederate States than I do the United States and am a limited government conservative (more so than today’s GOP). The Confederate flag is about our history and heritage, not hatred. I believe in their (our) fight and willingness to die for the independence of our land and Southern states, and to not be under tyranny. I enjoy the kinfolk of Confederate soldiers who fought for States’ rights and the secession of the Union.

I am grateful to be a Tennessean. Besides, I’d rather live in Dixieland than in a state that hosts Disneyland. For an excellent movie on the Civil War, I highly recommend Gods and Generals, and watching all the commentaries on side 2 is a must. It can be purchased on Amazon. – Deo Vindice!
