A Flag of a Different Color

The Sons of Confederate Veterans camp in Tampa was at it again this past Friday when the hoisted what they consider to be the world's largest Betsy Ross flag on the pole by the two interstates. It measures 30 by 50 feet.

The camp did it "because it is the flag of our founding fathers who were fighting for the same thing that the second American revolution was fighting for and that is liberty."

They plan to fly the Confederate flag continuously once the Confedrate memorial at the base is finished.

Here's Hoping They Will Also Provide Some Sort of Protection for it as There are Those Who Would Like to Burn It. -- Old B-Runner
