After the manufacturer decided to no longer supply Confederate flags to her business, Alabama Flag and Banner owner Belinda Kennedy decided to take matters into her own hands.
Starting early Friday morning, Belinda and the employees at Alabama Flag and Banner began producing Confederate flags in-store using their own materials and equipment.
And just as soon as they hit the machines, the orders came pouring in.
"I feel like my responsibility to my customers is to fulfill their needs when they want it, and I had customers wanting it and I wasn't going to turn them away as I felt like I had been turned away," Kennedy said.
Sales for the Confederate flag spiked for her business on Tuesday, the owner said, as the flag faced new controversy after a man confessed to killing nine people in a Charleston, S.C. church last week. The shooter, Dylann Roof, appeared on a white supremacist website holding a Confederate flag.
Although the flag is perceived by some as a symbol of hate following the church shooting, Alabama Flag and Banner will continue to sell it to their customers.
As of 3:45 p.m. on Friday, the business reported over 1,000 sales, with orders continuously rolling in, both online and in-store.
"It's simply a historic flag," Kennedy commented. "It's not hate, it's history...and the people that are making it a racial issue are pushing an agenda." 1 / 5 Employees begin production on Confederate flags at Alabama Flag and Banner in Huntsville Friday morning, June 26, after the business' manufacturer decided to no longer supply the flag.

Outstanding! The cowards that refuse to sell these flags for PC reasons will see others get the profits that the cowards would normally get. Cowardice in the face of PC has its price.
Send the flags to SCOTUS.
And made in the USA. :)
Good!
I will guess that the flags she was originally buying, may have been imported.
This is a good step, in my opinion.
Buy American, and stand up against liberal thought control.
Not bad at all.
Bravo! I hope she sells a million and more! That’s showin’ ‘em lady.
While this fight goes on over the Confederate Flag, the ISIS flag is being hoisted at the White House.
Let’s find out if Google starts purging the website from their pages.
I hope they end up making as much or more than the pizza place that got the Gaystapo treatment.

I have always considered the Confederate flag to be in the same category as a velvet painting of Elvis Presley, but I am going to buy one and hopefully have it in time to hang next to Old Glory on the 4th.
Nice. I’ll have to make a purchase or three.

After yesterday you sure it’s not the buttplug flag seen on CNN?
As a New Orleans native, half Acadian and half Irish in ancestry, I consider myself a Son of the South. Never flew the St Andrews cross, but these events tell me it’s time.
A Lois Lerner type is currently going over their tax returns.
But I say she deserves a good old rebel yell!
