The confederate battle flag is a pretty common sight here in southern Michigan. A guy down the road from me has an enormous mural of a battle scarred confederate battle flag on the side of his pole barn. He also has a mural of the submarine he served on when he was in the Navy.
Its never been offensive to me.
That's because you are normal. It takes a liberal to get their panties in a wad over something like this.
My girlfriend’s from the South. I see more confederate battle flags in rural Michigan than I do down south.
