As far as I am concerned, the queer flag is offensive to me.
What will he sell now? Rainbow flags? Mexican flags? ISIS flags? Kwanzaa flags?
I missed that.
Did she take his name or did he take hers....
It is damn sure the one the protestors burn, isn’t it?
Does he sell rainbow flags?
If he does, I wonder how those sales compare to Confederate Flags.
Anyway, I don’t care if he stops selling Confederate Flags. He’s only hurting his business.
If I need a flag, I can always sew one. There’s no law that says you can’t make your own.
Surrender Monkey Flag Co
Who knows in today’s world probably an alias.
They better drop the “Dixie” too, then.
Well, damn.
My official opinion is that you have offended me.
So, no more Dixie Flag merchandise for me.
And yes, I know you sell much more than just flags, but I don't care what it is, if it says "Made by Dixie Flags", I will be offended and not purchase it.
The company name now constitutes fraud.
In other words, the herd is now running toward the cliff, so I am going to run with them.
If the word "Dixie" is to be banned, the word "South" may as well be banned, ad absurdum.
The free market punishes those who do not ride a booming market. How many minutes will it take for a start up to go into full production of flags?
These companies will lose all those profits to the new guys.
No surprise the natives think this way.
Sewing machines are computerized now. Want take much capital investment to get the business going.
an Alabama company is upping production!
I will make sure to check my next flag purchase for anything including a made in China label over a Dixie Flag manufacturer.
Well, bless their hearts (as we say in GA). And, I’m supposed to admire Texas, why? Another cave in.

I got this e-mail from Ultimate Flags.com:
We have received some pressure and less than polite requests to stop selling the Confederate battle flag. >As ardent supporters of the 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution we don't appreciate it much when people want to ban a flag - as is being discussed about the Confederate Battle Flag.
No one can honestly say that everything done in that flags name was honorable and decent, and no one wants to return to that more backwards time in our history. However, it does have historical an cultural significance. For some it is a flag of oppression, for others it is a flag that symbolizes a struggle for freedom over tyranny. Because it was the flag of the vanquished side, the victor has been able to define its meaning - as is true in all of history.
Flags represent ideas, past and present. The way some people attack ideas they don't like is to attack the symbols of that idea - such as its flags. It has never been an effective form of argument. Every time someone proposes banning a flag, sales of that flag go through the roof.
Its been said that the first amendment that protects free speech is really there to protect unpopular speech, as popular speech needs no protection. We are here to make sure you can get a hold of even 'unpopular' flags so you can express your own ideas with them.
This is not because we are profit driven, we do well without selling these flags. It is because we know that when any majority can suppress any minority and its ideas, that neither side is free.
So we do not participate in boycotts or bans of flags. And if the day YOUR flag and ideas are ever under attack, you'll know you can find it available here.
