You're probably correct on the hypocrisy of groups that aren't outspoken on the us flag being burned, but there's a big difference between a private citizen doing something (burning a flag, flying the stars and bars, etc.) and a government entity doing something like flying the stars and bars.

I'd support South Carolina removing the emblem from government properties, but I'd extremely oppose any effort to limit private ownership/display of the flag. Hopefully that makes sense.

Im not talking about the state capitol. Just google NAACP and confederate flag. LINK

Again, I'm not defending any one action or personal use of symbolism. I'm just pointing out the alarming inconsistencies.
