Excellent. The Lorain County fair is one of the largest fairs (if not the largest) in the state of Ohio. The county is adjacent to Cuyahoga County, liberal strong hold of Cleveland.

Which would you rather have on your Dodge Charger. A Confederate flag or a “Ready For Hillary” bumper sticker?

CF across the rear window and "Ready for Hillary" on the air cleaner cover.

In other words, it was a "Win, win!"

Yeah, and tell them if they don’t like the flag on your dog, then they are free to try and remove it.

"GOD OWNS RAINBOWS NOT THE SODOMITES"

Interesting factoid about rainbows.....
The rainbow is a creation of Almighty God symbolizing His covenant promise and it has 7 colors (remember how we use to learn the acronym ROY G BIV: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet).

There are 6 colored stripes on the gay pride flag (6 is the spiritual number of Satan while 7 is the number of completion, a number of God). The U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in favor of gay marriage came on a Friday – the 6th day of the week, in June – the 6th month of the year, and on the twenty-6th day of June. Satan is thumbing his nose at God, using one of God’s own creations, the rainbow, as a symbol to provoke Him.

Since I don't have to make that choice, neither. If I did, then "Ready for Hillary".

With a jail cell in the background.

Fly them (beyond the "no electioneering" limit) outside all polling places.

Maybe DumbDems will boycott voting!

I'm not saying it couldn't mean those things you say, but the democrats don't really "hate" the CBF. It's just one of many tools they use to create discord, unhappiness, the general feeling that America is a crappy place to live, and things need to change, so you need to vote democrat because America is too sexist, too racist, too stingy, too unsophisticated, too stupid, too provincial and white America doesn't care.

It's no wonder there's so much violence in the cities when people there are constantly being told that they're so wronged by white corporate America. Cities are democrat strongholds, and once again they're using the CBF as a rallying point. It's ironic that the CBF was used to help maintain troop cohesion in battle in the CW.

I think Americans are generous, open minded people, and they are finally getting tired of being told they're all of these things just for wanting some moderation. Maybe they don't want to go to the extreme left which is where we're going right now.

Nobody associates the CBF with Democrats or slavery. The Modern Democrats hate the CBF because is symbolizes a disdain for the Federal Govt and centralized power in general. YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT ENTIRELY.

Right you are!

...is it possible that they are getting more attention at the county fair by leaving the county fair?

“If that’s all it takes, everyone should sell/display the flag. “

Exactly. We could shut down the entire Democrat apparatus with a few hundred dollars worth of flags.

Hey, it’s starting to look like Confederate flags will keep away Democrats just like garlic will keep away vampires. Who knew there was such an effective Democrat repellant!

These flags can now be sold as “Democrat Repellant” rather than as Confederate flags.

My point is that this will remind them, force them, whatever, to recognize that very fact. They already hate it, they will hate the truth being put on it even more because its embarrassing to them and damages them.
