It’s a bold design.
10% of Yankees are hell bent on silencing the South. There rest of them are fleeing their high tax, high regulation, high crime homelands for the South and a chance at a job.
It’s not on the liberally approved list of free expression.
But public buggery is just fine.
I will be flying one as soon as I put my New Flagpole up!
and....... the northeast states forming NeoEuropa must be purged from the union
It represents rebellion against modern liberalism and DC bureaucrats. Liberals see its display as an act of defiance.
Give the bastrids the fight they've been hoping for.
For many this will stir interest in the Confederacy and perhaps a better understanding of the different designs that evolved over several years during the Civil War. Interesting stuff for sure. It still remains a symbol of southern pride. Flags are still available to purchase from well established flag companies.
re: “Because Texas is more fun than Chicago, Wyoming than the Bronx, the Shenandoah than Oakland. Coyote Ugly with a chorus line of pretty girls in cowboy hats, jeans, and cowboy boots dancing on a bar is more fun than sipping wine on the East Side. Your home, your church – more fun. And safer is more fun, too, than the blue-state liberal view of crime as a sociological phenomenon best addressed by counseling.”
I was raised in New England, before it was ruined by liberalism, when it was still quiet in the off-season, and Hyannisport did NOT rule the rest of Cape Cod. I’ve lived in New York, on Long Island, and NOT in Queens. It was getting screwed up, in the ‘80’s, as NYC dwellers moved out, but did not shape up. I lived in Kaliphornia, in the 70’s and ‘80’s, with the interference of Governor Moonbeam jerry Brown - the first time.
I said all that, for this.
I lived in oregon, and had FUN.
I moved to louisiana, and am having fun. Not only have i had the pleasure of experiencing some of the things that justin Wilson talked about on oregon public broadcasting, I got to have of the REAL stuff!! I have been all across the southern end of the state, and north to various points ending in Shreveport. All sorts of little places to eat, and things to do. I lived in the Greater New Orleans Metropolitan Area, and yes, experienced a hurricane in different topography then what comprises Cape Cod. I traveled to Fort Jackson, a pre-Civil War era fort reclaimed from the swamp, at the mouth of the mississippi river, at the end of the Plaquemines parish peninsula. I live 3 miles from one of the Red river constrictor Civil War forts, being reclaimed. I live in the area, not far from that Jim Bowie’s plantation, and the Natchez Trail.
As being raised, and taught history with a New England perspective, there is a lot that happened down here, that i was not informed about. The major town in the area, during the Civil War and the Red River campaign, was burnt to the ground, and not by Sherman.
So much more richness and fun, i’ve not finished yet!
Every despotic government needs a designated evil to vilify, an attractive counter-revolutionary seductive yet ultimately must be overcome and destroyed for the sake of The Party and the redemption of the oppressed.
Exemplified in “1984” as Emannuel Goldstein; lacking a particular individual, the current official sociopolitical demon is the Confederate Battle Flag and Southern culture in general. If not for the CBF, the Left would have to invent something.
it also came as the result of a political assassination following a few weeks of increased dismay at the left’s agenda.
the bruce jenner ‘brave’ bs along with the rachel dolezal ‘trans-racial’ crap had the lefts sacred cows reeling from public ridicule and sarcasm. the leadership on the left needed something radical to keep their ship from sailing over the shark.
and the next thing you know, a ‘white supremest’ spends 2 hours sitting in a black church only to kill the pastor (and other members in the room). the pastor was also a state rep who spent the day campaigning with hillary
most would associate swastikas with skin heads and white supremests... not the confederate battle flag. but if the left could connect the killing of blacks to the flag and call for its banning... they knew it’d knock the other stuff right out of the news cycle.
Well done!
