Show me a pickup with a battle flag in the window, and I'll show you an ignorant long-haired reeking redneck. It's a free country, and you can fly what you want...but facts are facts.

Bravo Sierra. Many that fly the St. Andrews Cross are not long-haired nor ignorant. I know several that are officers or directors within a large company, several that have doctorates, members of Mensa, or the like.

Thank you.

I have a short haircut (habit from being an Army officer for 10 years) am a Vice President at a bank, have an MBA, and generally will tend to take offense at being called an "ignorant long haired reeking redneck."

Yes, I have a couple of different Confederate flags on my pick-up truck along with my NRA Endowment Member sticker.

Deo Vindice!

i'm afraid i fit the description of "balding but SHORThaired, overeducated,disgusted redMAN" rather than redneck.

we "bl@nket@sses" are RED all over, not just between the head & shoulders.

S. W.,

LOL!

The only time I could be accurately called "redneck" was when my reenactment unit switched from slouch hats to kepis and I forgot to put sunscreen on the back of my neck!

Deo Vindice!

PLEASE small-case my screen-name. it's an Indian thing.

can you say "havelock", children????

SURE YOU CAN!

[RebelBanker]

sw,

Very sorry about the capitalization. No offense intended!

I can certainly say "havelock" but my unit did not have them during the WBTS, so they would not be correct for us. Good idea though.

Deo Vindice!

[stand watie]

understood.

if not a havelock, then a "rag tucked in the back of one's cap" would seem to have been OK, rather than a PAINFUL sunburn.

CSA troops were NOT known for their uniformity in dress anyway. they were too busy trying to win the war!

[stand watie]

fyi, i'm just the GENERAL's MULE-holder. he was too poor (and ROTUND) to afford to buy or to sit comfortably on a horse!

"the boss", otoh, was a MILITARY GENIUS in guerrilla warfare, despite the fact that he had NO military training.

i HONOR his memory by the use of a diminutive of his WARNAME!

I got twenty bucks that says you wouldn't hear a peep if gay campers flew their cutesy-poo little rainbow flag.

You are right of course, (and they can outlaw cigars at your campsite too, if they want to. It is a city run park.)

In my travels, I look at people's flags and bumper stickers, etc. to see if I mught like talking to them. (I have a confederate flag and license my trailer in Alabama, but I was raised in California and only side politically with the "rebels".) I have met numerous friendly conservatives who sported the "Bush Cheney" bunper sticker. I would say that soon this park will make republican bumper stickers illegal too. Thus proving that this city park is in favor of succession from the Republic.

You'll get no takers here on that bet.

Yep, the "long-haired" gets me too ;o) I don't mind red-neck, even though I wear suits/ties. I take that as a compliment.

[stand watie]

as a REDMAN, i don't mind either, BUT we've evidently gotten ourselves another scalawag on the net to replace the banned walt.
