If you want to discuss whether or not they had the Constitutional right to do so, that's okay. Don't use that as a means to whitewash the issue of slavery from it or to state that people don't have a reason to take offense to the Southern Cross. I don't give a shit about that flag one way or the other. Fly it if you want to. Love it if you want to. Hate it if you want to. Just don't be so full of yourself to think that your interpretation is the only one.
