That’s correct. The Third National is the official flag.

Above and beyond that, our representative flags should be those of our respective sovereign States.

And not to nitpick, but that is not actually an official symbol of the Confederate States of American in any event. The Stars and Bars battle flags and the officially adopted flags of the Confederacy were always correctly square in shape not rectangular. The rectangular “rebel flag” was the navy jack that was in use from 1863 onward but only in the Confederate navy.

I commented on the article at Huffington post but the didnt post it. I dont know why, I guess me saying “The South will be free” was offensive.

“I deeply apologize to the people of Las Cruces as well as our friends throughout the State of New Mexico for the pain that this has caused,”. The pain? What pain? A symbol of resistance to tyranny and a couragious symbol of independence and freedom? Not only is this guy far too politically correct, he is also very uneducated.

Oh—

Flag and symbol desecration is a part of an ongoing genocide.

Just a few years ago, many Americans would have questioned the wisdom of having documented foreigners in positions of such power. The problem being that they have no access to American History, only access through propaganda, msm, the biased presentations of universities (if they even have that). They are like the proverbial “tabula rasa,” the blank slate that you can write anything on. They have no access to the Oral Traditions (and histories) of the country, handed down from generation to generation (one of the reasons it is important to break up families for Trotskyites, so that “A New Narrative” may be told to people who don’t know any better.

Anyway— he acted very Un-American, and has no way of knowing it.

That is both very sad and hilarious to me. The float won first place because it showcased the political history of New Mexico. But the mayor who is too ignorant to know the truth (and most likely was bamboozeled into making his statements) which shows that truth does not prevail in the thinking of the politics of New Mexico. HuffPo is a bastion of tptb…not surprised they’d cover it, but some of the commenters actually possess the ability to think critically. Guess they haven’t had their daily dose of fluoride in a while.
