"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."

Sounds like y'all need an infusion of different DNA. I know some gun-totin' flag-wavin' good old boys who would be more'n happy to oblige.

That's the direction that the barking moonbat left is taking here in Minnesota. Even if you had a Bush/Cheney sticker or a W04 sticker, you risk vandalism to your vehicle. Anything that does not follow the DFL's narrow view of Diverthity tends to get a violent response. CW2 is almost here.

Somebody might remember that before any guns were fired at Ft. Sumter in April of 1861 that there were warships carrying the Stars and Stripes instituting a blockade of the Charleston Harbor.

I haven't seen this much bullshit since the last time you posted.

People who fly the Confederate Flag seem to me to be the same as those who fly the Mexican Flag.

Gee thanks. Which flag would that be? CBF? First National? Second National? Naval Jack? State flag?

People that tell other people what they can and cannot fly when and where remind me too much of busybodies that have nothing better to do than interfere with others' natural rights (i.e. yankees).

Or the 1st National.

They might, I repeat might, just pick up on the 2nd and 3rd National Flags.

Most of the Western and Trans-Mississippi blue based battle flags would also float on by without a second glance.

National and battle flags were not one and the same for the southern side.

"yet another good reason not to have a confederate flag on your vehicle."

Of which you approve, or PC & just selective of whom to hate?

I think some Yankees are so damned ashamed they were almost brought to their knees by nothing more than sheer grit and guts by the undermanned & underarmed South..

PROUD DECENDANT OF A CONFEDERATE SOLDIER.

This is getting very common.

People have no problem vandalizing automobiles for any displayed item.

The left was vandalizing cars with Bush bumper stickers,

then there are the keyed cars with the magnetic flag ribbons.

It is going to get to the point where you just can't have a car with an unmolested paint job.

You bring your flag up North to our home

I didn't bring anything "up North" to anybody's home.

we're the aggressors?

According to the article three men damaged another person's car based on the flag on the car ... that's aggression.

Keep the damned thing south of the Mason-Dixon line where it belongs

Do you kiss your mother with that filthy mouth?

The Civil War is over. I don't see why either side insists on re-fighting it.

Glad to be a western gal....seems the eastern part of the U.S. enjoys this rehash, for some reason.

I will bridge no insult to honorable ancestors whom fought and died for what they deemed right. If you, or any others cannot fathom that concept, bugger off.

That's the truth. Sometimes I wonder when someone is going to be pissed off because my car is green. Or because it's a Subaru.

I'm still keeping my eye out for someone who flys both the Confederate battle flag AND the Gay Pride flag.
