"I'm shocked! All this time I had been led to believe that everybody north of the Mason-Dixon line was soooo tolerant!"
C'mon Billnaz...heheheh SOME of us are......

...yet another good reason not to have a confederate flag on your vehicle.
Flag hell. Up here in the bastions of liberalism, this could happen to your car if you have a Bush/ Cheney sticker on it. Wanna' test it with your car?
Thanks, I've been there already.

Although I don't remember any Southerners on that thread damaging anyone's property ...
That is an excellent idea! start putting bonnie blue on things. The south had so many flags, its a near endless supply!
I'm from the South and prefer the United States flag (Stars and Bars).
People who fly the Confederate Flag seem to me to be the same as those who fly the Mexican Flag.
Agreed. That's why I generally don't put any stickers on my car. I made an exception during the Presidential campaign.
LOL, that's just downright so evil, but in some ways so right.
I wuz only thinking about a little body work on Ma & the Boyz' tranportation. Don't be giving me any other ideas. ;)
Perhaps, but I notice you don't say that you are Southern.
The Confederate Battle Flag is not the "stars and bars" - you've got your flags mixed up.

Tucson is a bastion of liberal "tolerance and diversity." I drove in Tucson all the time with a George W. Bush sticker on my truck. Of course, it probably helped that I had an NRA sticker right next to it. And if anybody had messed with me they would have met Mr. M1911.
I made an exception during the Presidential campaign.
Which candidate? The good car? Or the beater? And did you back the car out of the garage? :)
Actually, I put stickers on both my cars. I did not have any problem, but I was very nervous about it. Someone tore off one of the stickers, but that's as bad as it got.
Lived in Texas all my life. In my haste, I confused "Stars and Bars" with "Stars and Stripes".
I don't like Mexican Flags being paraded around our state.
Out west is different. Arizona didn't have a dog in that hunt. What makes a lot of the west different, IMO, is that it was settled by a mixture of northerners & southerners. Problem with a lot of the midwest/ upper midwest is that the population has been stagnant and certain attitudes are a part of the old moldy fabric.
You bring your flag up North to our home and we're the aggressors? Keep the damned thing south of the Mason-Dixon line where it belongs.
You're lucky. When I moved to Wisconsin, my car had an old Bush/ Quayle sticker on it. The 'toon had won the election even & my car got keyed. And I know it was the bumper sticker that triggered it because the sticker had been keyed rather maliciously also.
