I myself have never had any strong opinions about this topic but comparing the Nazi Flag to the Confederate flag is just out there. Germany has a beautiful flag...fly that to show your ethnic pride. Only a neo-nazi skinhead would fly the swastika.
I know I'm wired differently than most of you here, but I'd rather see people sporting their nazi, gang, bpp, racist, anti-government, greek, etc, para than try to hide who they really are. It's all about the situational awareness. I had a couple move into the apt above mine recently and the guy has a symbol on his truck that is commonly used by a local gang. Doesn't bother me because now I know to watch my back around this guy. I understand how people can be offended if they see an offensive (to them) symbol everytime they look out their window but if some guy has confederate flag or gang symbol on his bumper....who cares? The guy just did you a favor by broadcasting to you that he's trouble.
