Despite the controversy over monuments and the deadly Alt-Left vs Alt-Right rallies in Charlottesville, Virginia, there has been another surge in the sale of Confederate flags, CBS News reported.
Belinda Kennedy, owner of the Alabama Flag & Banner shop in Huntsville, Alabama, said sales have been brisk. She said sales spiked even more dramatically within in the last 24 hours, since an interview about the shop was published at AL.com.
What's really pushing sales [now] is removal of the monuments, said Kennedy, who opened her shop in 1985. The general feeling I get from customers that call and email is that they are just pushing back at a small group of people who are trying to revise a huge slice of American history. I think as long as that's in the news, demand will continue.
Most U.S. flag makers stopped producing Confederate flags two years ago, CBS News reported, when sales surged after Dylann Roof went on a shooting rampage at a church in Charleston, South Carolina. Roof, convicted of killing nine people, was sentenced to death in January.
Annin Flagmakers stopped making the Confederate Battle Flag version after the shootings, Mary E. Repke, senior vice president of sales and marketing, told CBS News in an e-mail. They were a tiny portion of sales and went primarily to Civil War reenactor organizations, she added.

I happen to have a 48 star flag around here somewhere.
Several small ones on sticks, too.
I don’t remember why I have them, though.
:D
Normal, sane people are not terrified by bits of cloth.

‘Democrats gradually become the caricature villain ... the party of Colin Kaepernick and Melissa Click and the screaming girl at Yale and the people defacing the Lincoln Memorial and the pundits who equivocate over condemning Antifa and the transgender YouTube activist who insists that some women have penises.
Can’t find any at Amazon. Where are they being sold?

Democrats are recruiting for us with their silly ‘takes’ on reality. Best thing to do is stand out of their way and let them destroy themselves.
Amazon wussed out right after Haley’s Folly.
Give these good people your business.
They will happily ship to anywhere and they have a crapload of rebel flag items of every kind.

Alabama Flag & Banner shop in Huntsville, Alabama,
I’ve got one, looks pretty new, got it in a box with a baseball hat made like a flag in a storage auction about a year or 2 ago. Its somewhere in the garage in a different box. I am saving it for a friend in LA if he shows up here.
The mighty Mopar General Lee from Dukes of Hazzard is highly despised by the Liberals, the left, the Social Justice Warriors, and many other organizations on that side of the fence.
It’s interesting to remember and keep this in context: that the Dukes of Hazzard television show, much like The Beverly Hillbillies, television show was written in Hollywood California as a spoof to demean people from the South by promoting them as Hicks and Grits and Rednecks with Low Intelligence. Oddly enough the shows flourished and did very well in the market. But when Hollywoodland makes fun of... but when things go bad for the propaganda they point to these iconic figures that the left created to demean Southerners and it completely backfired.
I view this much like the Mel Gibson movie “The Passion”, where practically every night newscasters were appalled that Mel Gibson was making a movie about The Passion of Christ. What they did buy showing angst towards this effort of Mel Gibson was to actually promote the movie globally. Resulting in skyrocketing attendance at the theater from not only Christians, And Non-christians who wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Another backfire. in a roundabout way the Lord use newscasters and they’re angry feelings about Christianity to actually Propel the movie to a much wider audience and perhaps saving many more souls than would have happened otherwise.
When the hand is overplayed as is the case in many things on the left that are routinely overplayed, it appears that oftentimes the outcome is a good kick in the shins.
What dimensions? Where did you get it?
I hear you. I’m 61 and when I was a kid this was a free country.
Mine is 3’ x 5’. Ebay has them in various sizes.
Type in 1st confederate flag for listings.
You forgot the Norwegian jokes..
Worst summer of my life. :(
I wish but do not believe the snowflakes will get bored.
This will continue and escalate for the entirety of Trump’s term(s).
The demons howl because they fear they will be cast out.
I see no end in sight.
They took the flag off the top for the movie remake.
Now, it’s just the Generally.
:(
It’s not succeeding.lTrump won because of lunacy like this and will win again. This will backfire bigly...
