If Lee had won at Gettysburg and captured Washington DC the US probably would not have survived as a single nation. Yet today there is no prohibition on flying the Confederate flag. In 1977, Nazis marched in Skokie, Illinois, home of many Holocaust survivors after the then ACLU filed suit to require the march. Today, we see both the UK and the EU (countries we spilled blood to defend) moving to severely limit free speech. We need to make clear to Europe and nations everywhere that our continued support of their freedom is dependent upon them actually being free countries.
