Maybe he should try flying an ISIS flag next time. After all, they aren't likely to have a lot of muslim customers who would be offended.

Pretty soon it’ll be the American flag.

I would definitely be wondering who the “customer” was that is offended. After all, this isn’t a restaurant, its a factory that doesn’t have a lot of people coming and going.

I’m guessing it was a bedwetter in the front office who was offended.

The one who can make the biggest ‘stink’ is always the winner in these sorts of things.

On the other hand for every incident like this the ‘anger’ grows and one day it will explode. No one knows when and no one knows what ‘incident’ will light the fuse. But deep down we all know that it will happen.

You are correct, unfortunately.

This whole thing happened because the puppetmasters decided to use the horrific deaths of nine church goers as an excuse to erase Southern history and heritage. They had a willing tool in place as Governor of SC to push their totally non-sequitur agenda.

Why aren't those who loved those victims offended that their grief was disrupted and manipulated to something that had nothing to do with what happened and was not going to do anything to solve the problem of these senseless murderous acts?

And Bob Evans? Clueless. How's this going to play with their mostly southern clientale? And, another thing...read their ingredients some time. "homestyle" it's not!

I have no problem with this. The first amendment protects both the freedom of speech (flying the flag) and the freedom of assembly (employment). Both are at will and both can be exercised.

If the flag owner wanted to continue to fly his flag, he did not need to park at his work. Rather he could have parked nearby and then walked the remaining distance.

Fire those who fly the homofascist flag or the antiChristian “Darwinfish” which uses a historically Christian symbol to bash Christians.

It obviously time for conservatives to start filing complaints about COEXIST bumper stickers or whatever other left wing crap commies put on their cars

Yet, if you walk into a Bob Evans restaurant anywhere in America, you’ll see conservatives giving their money to these tyrants. Not me.

Yep, that would be a very good tactic.

I’m sure the ACLU will be there to defend his First Amendment rights. Right? Wait, what? They aren’t? I’m so damn shocked.

I’d say, “why don’t you bring the people here that I’ve offended so we can discuss this?”. You know damn well no one has complained. I bet the HR employee is of the perpetually offended class and throwing her weight around reverse racism style.

Maybe...they just hate Southern Veterans and are truly racist.

On May 23, 1958, Congress passed Law 85-425, section 410, designating Confederate veterans as American war veterans.

By the government’s own designation, the Confederate battle flag is considered an American military flag and has been carried by U.S. soldiers from Iwo Jima to Baghdad.

Out of respect for these American veterans, the Confederate Battle flag certainly does have a place of honor! Those I say, those people (after reading the above law) who try to take their HONOR away by dragging our flag down for their own selfies stupid reasons dishonors and spits in all veterans faces......on-going

Ditto- they just lost my business. I proudly fly my Confederate flag every day right under my American Flag.

This is just more fallout from the Regime’s attempt at turning the Confederate flag into the focus of their latest Two Minute Hate. Never mind health insurance costs being thru the roof, don’t pay attention to the jerry-rigged employment numbers, ignore that fact the Middle East is in flames; let’s all focus our hate on a flag.
