<div>Well and concisely put. Thank you.</div><div> </div><div>I posted this yesterday in the early part of the discussion but it didn't take. Allow me to reiterate:</div><div> </div><div>By the way confederate soldiers, political figures, and sympathizers are not traitors.</div>
<div>No one was put on trial for treason after the war up to and including Jefferson Davis. He was released from custody 13 May 1867 after a finding by U.S. Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase that there was nothing in the Constitution that would prohibit secession of states. If secession was not illegal, neither Davis nor any other Confederate could possibly be guilty of treason simply for wanting to sever relations with the north and by extension the United States.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Good luck baiting Gary on anything Tom. I remember this event
but can't answer your questions below without going back into the archives (or
onto your site) which I'm too lazy to do. But obviously the presenter was
from our least favorite / unfriendly church with the 'pastor' who has an
unwavering adoration of the Antebellum South.<u></u><u></u>For me personally -
better the devil you know - so I'd rather them just be their typical true selves
so that everyone can see them for who they really are and watch them eventually
get their just deserts - which almost never seems to
fail.<u></u><u></u>-Scott<u></u><u></u>

and is in no way a "celebration" of the confederacy. If you are bound and
determined to have a conniption every time the stars and bars pops up you're
destined to spend way too much time in a hyper agitated state. Some folks like
that I guess but, I would find it tiresome. What is hard to defend is the
silly notion that every time this flag pops up that it has to be construed as
a statement that all all things antebellum were wonderful and need to be
brought back. Some things may have been and some definitely weren't with
slavery being chief amongst the evils. It's gone now (thank goodness, good
riddance) and it's not coming back no matter how may flags fly. From a
practical stand point it would make more sense to develop a case of knicker
kink over the flags of Mauritania, Sudan, Niger, Mali, Pakistan, and the <span>UAE</span>. Countries where slavery is actively
practiced.</font></div>

<div><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125);font-family:"sans-serif";font-size:11pt">Gary, you
are just plain wrong about this. There is a ton of material available
locally about the GAR, pictures of GAR parades down a very muddy Main St., and
lots of local newspaper stories about candidates running for local office and
bragging about their Union experience. It would take less than three
hours and a few bucks to get a mighty fine display put together. None of which
has anything on earth to do with a confederate rag and the pointless display
of an old pistol in our court house. </span></div>

<div>Talk about mole hill to mountain
mutations, this display has been up in the courthouse lobby for months.
Previously it contained a similarly educational display with WW II as the
topic of interest. I take it that no one on this forum who is wailing and
gnashing their teeth has actually looked at the display. There is nothing in
it that is even remotely a "celebration" of the confederacy. Aside from the
flag and a pistol, every thing else is union memorabilia and items with a
connection between the GAR and various locals.</div></div>

usual suspects off on a self righteous rant.</div></div>

<div style="margin-left:0.5in">I am sorry to
be writing to you with a complaint but I must. I know that you and the
other county commissioners are not responsible for the display in the lobby of
the courthouse. Nonetheless, the fact that that display as been up for
at least two days without (apparently) concern on your part is making my head
explode. (Maybe you are out of town and don’t know about this – if so, I
apologize to you) I hate to use the expression <span>WTF</span>, but really Tom, <span>WTF</span>. What would national news outlets think, given
Idaho’s connection with the Aryan Nations, Doug Wilson’s <i>Southern Slavery
as It Was</i>, and local freaky Tea Party morons who think State’s Rights
trump all? If the Confederacy is going to celebrated front and center in
the Courthouse it is my expectation that the following images (make sure the
county contacts the appropriate parties for permission to show what the
Confederacy really represented. </div>
