What do you think of the Confederate flag in S.C. and the symbol on Georgia's flag? Should they stay or go?

Hmmmm, let's see, this was a flag flow by people who took up arms against the government and constitution of the United States of America and were responsible for mass bloodshed and destruction and who then (after they lost) decided that this flag represents honor and nostalgia (rather than treason and defeat)... uh, so what was the question again?

The previous answer could also be use in 1776. Winners write the history. Now what was your answer?
