I think this self righteous cretin is Armenian myself.

Screw Him....he can go live somewhere he doesn't have to deal with Southern Heritage....I'm tired of the tyranny of the minority.

I too have the Bonnie Blue.,...for my home flag and the front of my ever aging LR.

I shall look for you Martin....I have seen a few....one was on a Beemer on Hobbes the other day.

I'm partial to the BB since it has a strong connection to my homestate of Mississippi

I'm a "Yankee" (born and raised in Delaware) who has a great admiration of the South, particular since its reputation as a more traditional region. I feel split on the whole "North v. South" issue, because I have a strong tie to my "ancestral soil," which is southeastern PA and northern DE, which is obviously the North. Only one branch of my family, through my paternal grandfather, was here during the War Between the States. The rest of my familial history in the United States only goes back three generations or less (German, Polish, and Filipino).

I remember the first time I heard the song, "The Bonnie Blue Flag." It was in the John Wayne movie "Horse Soldiers." It was also featured in "Gods and Generals." I like the tune a lot. I also like the flag itself, since its history goes at least 50 years prior to the War, and because of its simplicity. I think the flag, like the Gadsen flag, can stand for the traditional stands that we as conservatives take.
