If I had a large game room, billiards and things on the wall, I wouldn’t mind having this item.

It would not be hung in honor, but as a conversation starter. We need to pass down what Hitler, (actual) racism, and genocide are all about. It leads into talk of the U.S.S.R., China, Pol Pot, Germany, and all the deaths that socialism and communism caused last century.

I don’t think we should look at it as something that should be expunged from the face of the earth.

People need to now what that flag stood for.

People should know the warning signs and what to avoid.

We see those signs today, and are in the process of expunging them from our nation thanks to President Trump, the man the socialists and communists try to call a raciest.

If they only had a clue about the real history of racism, socialism, and communism. No wait, disregard that. They do. They just don’t want others to.

Why do people get so upset and want to erase history? They deny and refuse to learn from it. Why do they feel so threatened, to the point of exhibiting similar behavior, by something that has passed? I think it’s a serious flaw in their character and upbringing.

I don’t need reminders of my son getting killed in Iraq, but I don’t get bent out of shape seeing video footage of the ambush or the like.

Another woman told her that her mom lived in Germany during World War II. “She said, ‘People need to not forget, so this never happens again,’ ” Danker said. “She literally begged me to keep this up.”

I got news for you. It is happening again.

It’s happening in Europe and it’s happening here.

Jews and Christians are being harassed and attacked.

The legal system is being weaponized against people of faith.

The only thing about that Nazi flag is that the people are upset by a symbol of evil with no idea why. Those people are following the Nazi philosophy but are too ignorant of history to realize it.

In my small town, an antique dealer hung a Nazi Flag in his window, for sale.

The locals all lost their collective minds on facebook, etc. ~

It was NOT a NeoNazi Aryan symbol; It was a WWII collectable, simply because on the rear of the flag, the American Heroes who captured that particular flag had signed their names with their home towns/cities followed by the date...

It sold for $850 American dollars.

There are three essential distinctions between real Nazis and unicorns:

1) Unicorns have magic powers, and Nazi's don't
2) Unicorns are good, and Nazism is very evil.
3) In the current time, unicorns are more common than Nazis.

Is that in communist WA or American WA?
Shelton, Washington is a blue collar lumber town located in the southern reaches of Puget Sound. The area also produces huge amounts of clams and oysters for sale around the world. Shelton is the seat of Mason County, which went for Trump in the election and has the misfortune of being close to the state capitol of Olympia where you could likely find some commies. Our high school has a rifle team and a well run ROTC program.
I happen to know this woman and have bought some antiques from her - she's very nice and her shop is ten miles from our home.

It’s dumb to get that upset over it to want her dead, and she seems like an ordinary, clueless woman.

However. If I were wandering through her shop and saw it, I’d get the hell out immediately and tell her why and not buy anything. It’s personal.

LOL. Haven’t been out there in 45 years, so your guess may be better than mine.

I think Shelton is where Simpson Timber Company’s headquarters are at.

“She also has a communion plate.”

That line made me say, “WTF?”

Only to a true moonbat would find a communion plate to be offensive.

There used to be a collection of antique stores south of Ft Lauderdale and one in particular had a ton of WWII artifacts and lots of Nazi items. Prices were marked up pretty high. I think all of those stores went out of business during the recession.

Hopefully she was on the rifle team and knows how to protect herself. :-)

Nazi stuff is very common at antique estate auctions. But I don’t buy it for this reason.

I’ll have a S-E grin on my face the rest of the day with that visual running endlessly through my mind. 8^)

These snowflakes are not so much stupid asses as they are fascists.

In the old days, if something offended you, you simply didn’t look at it. You avoided it. You went elsewhere. Don’t like that historical statue in the park? Then don’t look at it. Go play in another part of the park.

That way of thinking is long gone. If something offends a liberal, his only response is a fascist one. Tear it down! Destroy it!
