“The Stars and Stripes is the only flag for our family.”
If you were a true American, there would be prominent a state flag.
You do not understand what type of country we live in, as this is one of a combined collection of states, not just a federal govt that the states decided to form for defense.
Go read the Bill of Rights, particularly the 10th Amendment.
As a history lesson to you, that 10 Amendment is the reason the War Between the States occurred the Confederate flag flew. It was NOT a civil war as you spoke.
The Civil War was over an economic system that relied on slaves and the ability of that system to survive and spread west. Of the three states we’ve lived in, Arizona was a territory divided in its sympathy at the Mogollon Rim. Nevada is controlled by Clark County and Reid. Nice state in the rural areas. Oregon is a little to the left of Obama although there are good people in the south and east of the state.
I’m in favor of abolishing the federal Education dept, EPA , DHS, OSHA and so on because the individual states should approach their specific problems. That would take a president and congress that seems unlikely. I’ve met, and in some cases know my local, state and federal representatives- corruption of the kind law enforcement turns a blind eye to is rampant. I’d imagine Oregon would be more environmentally socialist given its head.
