A billboard with Confederate symbols is raising the question of basic decency in Kaufman County while taking aim at the city of Dallas.
The billboard is on Highway 175 in the town of Kemp, about 45 miles southeast of Dallas. The sign shows a cartoon character with a Confederate flag urinating on the Dallas skyline and says “I support Confederate heritage.”
Yep, probably false flag, but perhaps a stupid redneck loser!
We can have heritage without pizzing on any one.
Of course, kind sir-y’all are welcome to use it as you see fit...
Thank you...
The Confederate Constitution had term limits for POTCSA, senators and representatives built in to it. America would be a better place today if we had the same.
And the straw man rebuttals will begin in 3 ...2 ...1 ....
right clock on the photo, select ‘copy’ then you can go to this site: https://html-online.com/editor/ and paste it into left hand box, then copy code from right hand box, and paste into the FR post-
I laughed just reading what it was about :)
He could at least change the billboard to pissing on Austin.
right click on photo- NOT right clock on photo lol
I don’t find comparing my CSA ancestors to Nazis very helpful.
Austin? Well, yeah. Even taking a dump on Austin.
That would’ve been fine.
There’s a difference between “your message” and your means of communicating them. In legal parlance, there’s a difference between viewpoint, subject matter and medium. Viewpoint discrimination is always verboten, subject-matter discrimination sometimes is allowed (the state could prohibit commercials about abortion from running on Sunday-morning cartoon programs as long as the ban applies to all sides of the controversy), but discrimination based on medium (also known as time, place or manner restrictions) generally are permitted. Prohibiting billboard that show urination would not be an affront to the Freedom of Speech.
As for the fact that a lot of people drive around with vulgar decals and bumper stickers on their cars and trucks, the fact that laws that prohibit such vulgarity are either unenforced or nonexistent (depending on the jurisdiction) does not tell us anything about the scope of First Amendment protections.
I agree with the general message of the billboard (bot that Texas’s Confederate heritage should be preserved, and that Dallas is wrong to try to destroy depictions of the state’s history), but disagree with the manner in which it was expressed. If Kaufman County truly cared about preserving Texas’s Confederate heritage it would take down the billboard and replace it with one that includes flags and cartoon Confederate soldiers but does not depict any vulgarity.
One of the reasons the Union was preserved was because of the inability of the southern states to cooperate.
As far as that billboard goes, I don’t even know what it is supposed to mean and indications are FF.
Thank you so much for the explanation on how to post pics on FR.
See my post 17.
I see someone else uses that site too. Isn’t it great? Pictures, links, italics, paragraphs, whatever you need.
And the problem is? These idiotic people tear down Southern monuments more times than I can count and these IDIOTS think someone, somewhere isn’t going to protest it???? Cry me a Mississippi River........
Stupid vulgar picture.
Then don’t look at it......
Dallas? Small, unusually quiet town?!
Please have your picture taken in front of this billboard - would be a hoot....;-)
