I would say it would be a herculian tasks to put "neo-Confederate" in a light that would called positive. It is an adjective and a noun used as a negative against one people by another. I would have to see an example to understand its possiblities.

On the other hand the CBF is an object that is loved, hated or means absolutely nothing by different peoples. It is either burned or proudly flown, it has many different symbolic meanings to many different people. There are poems, songs, art work totally dedicated to the CBF. It is a inanimate object, used or surpressed by different peoples. It is a powerful emmotional icon that touches people across an entire spectrum of feelings.

I do not see the comparison.
