The Bonnie Blue Flag was probably the 2nd most popular song in the
Confederacy during the Civil War. The tune was taken from an Irish song -

From the movie Gods and Generals - that's Ted Turner playing Colonel Patton 22nd Virginia Infantry (paternal grandfather of General George Patton of WW2 fame). He's speaking to Major General John Bell Hood (who was actually a relatively young man in his early 30s during the Civil War despite his high rank). Damon Kirsch is the actor playing the role of Civil War era Scots-Irish entertainer Harry McCarthy who composed the words to The Bonnie Blue Flag. The beautiful actress assisting with the show is Dana Stackpole playing the part of Lottie Estelle - Harry's real-life wife. Dana was born at the U.S. joint-forces military base located at Misawa, Japan on the main island of Honshu in the northern part.

Exactly what I guessed.
Two of the three bills introduced in the General Assembly to move the Confederate flag off the Capitol grounds also call for removing the flagpole next to the Confederate soldiers memorial.

ReplyDeleteHeritage site. The gov scags stating city air is just as good as the purified
air of the country. Another sad climax. I wonder which parasite will get
millions for selling the beauty.

The flag did not crawl down the flagpole, kill people in a church and slither back up the pole. Roof represented no one but himself. You've seen the pictures; do you want to boycott Gold's Gym?
ReplyDeleteWhy wouldn't one fly a Confederate flag over a memorial to the Confederate dead? It doesn't matter who likes it, who doesn't like it or who is offended - it's history. It can't be changed to suit the whims of the day. To do otherwise would be a lie.
