He must have a government contract.

The Stars and Stripes offend a lot of people too, Skippy.

“My official opinion is now that it is an offensive item and we will not sell it,”

So what was it before and why the change of heart?

Another huge opportunity for another flag company.

This dust-up will be forgotten in six months to a year (remember Chik Fil A? America has an EXTREMELY short attention span) and those patient enough to wait until the hysteria dies down will be the winners.

This all happened so fast.

It’s not going to last.

He has the same last name as the leftist woman who just lost the election for mayor there.

I will almost guarantee this is only his public face. You call him up and want to order 100 Confederate flags and are ready to pay cah, you’ll get them.

In an interview with the San Antonio Express-News this week, Van de Putte says that in conversations with manufacturers and suppliers, they have all decided to stop making or shipping the controversial flag.

I thought they are usually made in China.

Maybe they offered him the US Navy contract for rainbow flags?

Get the soy and the domestic beer out of your life, and maybe enough of your testosterone will return for you to take your pants back from your wife.

Some people may think the name “Dixie Flags” is offensive. Perhaps they should change the name of their company while they are at it. I don’t know ...

“Scared Shitless Flags”

The word “Dixie” is a very offensive word to the same people who are offended by the flag.

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?

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.

They better drop the “Dixie” too, then.

“My official opinion is now that it is an offensive item and we will not sell it,” Pete Van de Putte said.

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.

“The industry opinion changed and I’m part of the industry. So, I won’t sell the flag.”

In other words, the herd is now running toward the cliff, so I am going to run with them.
