What does the Confederate Flag mean to you?

Ignorance, racism, bigotry, hatred, slavery, white supremacy, segregation, rednecks, illiteracy, Jim Crow, immorality, gilder, philistinism...

How about treason?

Not sure about that one. Just about every flag in the world represents that.

Funny,  I think some of the same things upon seeing  Old Glory.  Ignorance, apparently knows no boundaries.  Oh, wait, it *IS* more prevalent among those who are supposedly more educated than anyone else.

No, 'old glory' means pretty much the same awful things as the confederate flag means - Racism, genocide, intolerance, etc.

Forgot genocide

But seriously, was there a systematic killing of the second-class citizens? You know I'm not the one to argue that there was anything noble about their deeds, but that's what it would take to be defined as genocide.

So if a bunch of people in Idaho decided to get together and secede from the U.S. without the consent of the government, overthrew the laws, seized government property, and attacked government buildings, you would support the flag they flew under?

I didn't say I support it. My point was that, in that case, the Confederate flag doesn't distinguish itself.
