The Confederacy Under Attack-- Part 145: Virginia Flaggers Strike Again

From the Dec. 18, 2015, Google Alerts for Confederate.

**  "new orleans" City Council votes 6-1 to remove Confederate monuments,  (Huge Loss)  This was another example of the O.J. Simpson verdict.  Who's racist?

**  Confederate billboard goes up in Danville; complaint filed against 3 flagpoles.  (Virginia) (Win) The Virginia Flaggers strike again.

One side reads, "Thanks for visiting the last capital of the Confederacy.  Ya'll come back."  The other side welcomes visitors, "Welcome to Danville.  The last capital of the Confederacy and proud of it."  However, I think their are some folks in S.C. and Georgia who might disagree about the last capital part.

**  Maryland My Maryland?  Panel urges changes in the state song.  (Loss)  It was penned in 1861 and was definitely pro-Southern.  It has been the official state song since 1939.

**  An editorial in the "new orleans times-picayune" praises the vote removing the monuments.  (Loss)  Shame on that newspaper.
