Florida man proud of his enormous Confederate flag, says he's not racist
Marion Lambert is unapologetic about the abundance of Confederate flags that surround him.
A faded pillow with the flag's print sits on the porch chair of his quirky urban farm in south Tampa, an area known more for craft beers and gluten free brunch. He's got a sticker with the red and blue battle flag and the words "I ain't coming down" affixed near the shopworn light switch in the building that holds his farm's free-range eggs. And in his barn, there's a cloth flag near a sign that says, "COW COUNTRY watch your step."
But the flag he's proudest of sits about 17 miles away, at the corners of Interstates 4 and 75.
It's the centerpiece of the Confederate Memorial Park, a small sliver of privately owned land.

Something or other was donated to "The Daughters of the Confederacy" and Stephen pointed out that they must be getting up there in age. 
I would be willing to bet that a lot of these idiots have little understanding of American history, they just want an excuse to be "proud" of something. If they knew the history, they'd want it forgotten. 
And parked behind the next building was a pickup truck with a full sized confederate thread in the back! My first reaction was alarm - since I figured this had to be some kind of extremist nut job. Then it crossed my mind that they might be ignorant about what it meant. We're in New York!
