I have always considered myself to be a bit of a rebel going against the “mainstream” and salute many of those who go on a different path as well. When a people rebel against a mighty power as the Colonialist did against England to form the United States and the Jews did against England to form modern Israel I usually salute such bravery. That is why the Confederate Flag causes such confusion in my mind and heart. I want to believe that this flag represents rebellion for states rights but I also understand that it represents the evil of slavery and racism to many. Once a government becomes established as the United States and Israel are today their flags become “mainstream”. Yet not every rebellion is right and therefore we must stand only by those who support basic freedom and justice. Today I say that we adopt the “Green Flag” of the Iranian revolt for true Democracy that the tyrannical regime squashed in 2009. G-D willing once the Iranian’s are truly free we can adopt a new flag for those that are fighting for their basic rights as well.
