It's retarded and Southerners who relish their 'tradition'....well, I could go on and on about how retarded they are.

Hey Southern States: Get rid of the flag or we'll pull a General Sherman on you and burn your cities to the ground. Remember those fun times? No? Rent Gone With The Wind.

Larry Wilmore on The Nightly Show pretty much summed it up well. His two best points:

1. Take it down NOW then 'debate' whether to put it back up or not. How about that?
2. Why don't we fly the Union Jack on The White House lawn as 'respect' for our 'traditions'?

Whatever. Like abortion, guns, taxes, immigration and welfare (and many others) this topic is simply distraction and diversion so the people in power can continue to do whatever the fuck they want while Americans 'debate' this nonsense. Carry on....
