Our latest controversy being the Confederate flag, here are some thoughts on it.
The flag currently known as the Confederate flag (aka the rebel flag, Dixie flag, and Southern cross and often incorrectly referred to as the "Stars and Bars") was not the official flag of the Confederacy; it was the battle flag of General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia.
Because the rebel flag "only came to be the flag most prominently associated with the Confederacy after the South lost the war (Daniel Costa-Roberts at PBS)", seems to me the rebel flag may stand for losing the war. Just sayin'.
Here's how 3 cartoonists weigh in on the topic.
