CUMBERLAND, Md. — A dispute has erupted in Cumberland over the distribution of a brochure that purports to explain the history of the Confederate battle flag in Allegany County public schools.

Not much to this article, but I know Ed very well thanks to our mutual membership elsewhere. Interesting to see he's made national news now.

I can see the books down the road: Obama - America’s First King!!

The media has demonized the flag.

Personally, I think the Stars and Bars has been so corrupted by white trash and the leftist media as to render it a hot button for nutcases on both sides of the fence. On the other hand: Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star!

Lyrics:
We are a band of brothers and native to the soil
Fighting for our Liberty, With treasure, blood and toil
And when our rights were threatened, the cry rose near and far...

As long as the Union was faithful to her trust
Like friends and brethren, kind were we, and just
But now, when Northern treachery attempts our rights to mar
We hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star...

First gallant South Carolina nobly made the stand
Then came Alabama and took her by the hand
Next, quickly Mississippi, Georgia, and Florida
All raised on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star...

Ye men of valor gather round the banner of the right
Texas and fair Louisiana join us in the fight
Davis, our loved President, and Stephens statesmen are
Now rally round the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star...

And here’s to brave Virginia, the Old Dominion State.
With the young Confederacy at length has linked her fate.
Impelled by her example, now other States prepare
To hoist on high the Bonnie Blue flag that bears a single star...

Then here’s to our Confederacy, strong we are and brave,
Like patriots of old we’ll fight, our heritage to save.
And rather than submit to shame, to die we would prefer
So cheer for the Bonnie Blue flag that bears a single star...

Then cheer, boys, cheer, raise a joyous shout
For Arkansas and North Carolina now have both gone out;
And let another rousing cheer for Tennessee be given
The single star of the Bonnie Blue Flag has grown to be eleven!

LOL, you’d be interested to know that Ed is 1 of those who’s picked up on the Bonnie Blue as the “subversive” flag to support the Confederacy.

Well, at least 1 of his compatriots up there flies the Bonnie Blue on a regular flag pole in his front yard up there. People are clueless and so you can get away with it without making waves.
