A local restaurant-bar in my area has a real redneck patriot owner. He had the Confederate along with the stars & stripes displayed in his place. The local United Way insisted that he take it down. He said he had a right to keep it if he chose to. They made a big stink about it and filed a number of complaints and continued to harass him. Even managed to get him shut down for a while while things were ironed out. He finally had enough. He filed a lawsuit against the women pushing this and the United Way.
I was told he won an undisclosed amount. I stopped giving to the United Way after that as did some of my friends.

Fly the rainbow flag next to your Confederate flag and watch people's heads explode.
So much fun playing with simple minds. To some the confederate flag is a symbol of Christianity, and the rainbow is God's sign of never flooding the world again. O ya , I guess gay used to mean happy.

And when you said, I'm down with that, it meant you had the flu.

it seems every popular flag or symbol gets co-opted for evil there was a boat on the great lakes the Swastika in the 20s and 30s , name changed later it was a very common symbol and many things had the name , for centuries it had been a symbol from the Indian language Sandskit meaning Well-Being https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-29644591
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Why get all worked up over it. Its just another Jack,derived from the Union Jack which is a combination(union) of the English cross and the Scottish Jack. Toss the English Jack and make your own like Canada did in '65

Any flag with an x is called a jack. The english cross only became the union jack when it incorporated the jack from the scottish flag.

If you're looking to be offended, odds are you won't be disappointed.

I always thought it was just a symbol of Southern pride, maybe with a little anit-left sentiment sprinkled on. I never thought it was a symbol of racism.
I think most symbols of racism are invented to divide us.

So much fun playing with simple minds. My kind of humor there. Offend everyone equally, but without malice. I'm pretty bored with so many looking for some offense to get wrapped around the axle about. My wife is still on a hunt to find whomever scratched an FU on her truck bed above her "Honor our Vets" bumper sticker. Who does that stuff?

With the way things are going that flag will be flying soon enough. ... if it had stayed flying we wouldn’t have these problems lol ... dang Yankees get what they want and turn around and gripe about it ... how many Yankees does it take to screw in a light bulb ?
Insert profound nonsense here

I had ancestors on both sides of that gunfight. Not sure where I would have landed. Probably just stayed in CO as my namesakes did. If I fly a flag I think it will be two of them. Old glory on top with the Gadson flag below it.
