I live in Maine and have always been a pro-Union man, but crap like this makes me want to fly the Confederate flag from my front porch.

(I took my American flag down on 1/20/09 and will not fly Old Glory again until The Present Occupant leaves office.)

You must've loved the film Gettysburg being from Maine and all.

“I live in Maine and have always been a pro-Union man, but crap like this makes me want to fly the Confederate flag from my front porch. (I took my American flag down on 1/20/09 and will not fly Old Glory again until The Present Occupant leaves office.)”

Because that is practically a crime, I’d suggest any of the earlier American flags instead (Gadsen, bicentennial) - same idea (power to the states, limited federal government), less stigma. As far as the Union flag (Old Glory), I’ve never even owned one. While affirmative action is the law of the land, I’ll pass; someday those that want to maintain the illusion of a nation will realize the left doesn’t use Old Glory either...it has lost all meaning to far too many.
