[quote=skratch;6709541]he never said that was why he flew the confederate flag on his back porch. it very well may be, but you are making a broad assumption. maybe he's just looking to find a new neighbor with the same interests as him......
Yeah right - I bet the he will not elaborate!

I fly an American Flag off my radio antenna on my bike. I'd wear a flag decal on my helmet, but I'd like it on both sides and most flag decals you find are not correct because they are right-side only. The field is in the wrong direction for the left-side.

Although I personally think it's BS, I can understand a PUBLIC school's politically correctness in prohibiting a t-shirt with a flag on it that is being worn SPECIFICALLY in protest. But I can't imagine ANY other situation where someone in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA would/could prohibit or even complain about displaying the US flag here.
Has anyone on this forum ever had anyone confront, question, or complain to him/her about displaying the US flag?

I see you've been reading revisionist history. It would actually be more accurate to state that the current U.S. flag "hints at support of slavery" more than the Confederate flag, as there were more slave owners, and more slaves, in northern states than in the South. Massachussetts was the first state to establish slavery in North America, a full generation before slavery was introduced in the South...New England was the shippinig/trading hub for slavery...and, it was the northern slave trade hubs that resisted abolishing slavery the strongest. I guess the revisionists have it so deeply entrenched that it's not going away...but, it gets so damned tiring hearing/reading the South attributed as THE slave issue.

I personally don't use the Flag as decoration, clothing or to protest, though I/ we certainly have the right to do so. I also don't consider a tee-shirt, decal or pin to be "the Flag" & wearing them to cause trouble could be seen as disrespecting the flag. As for the confederate flag, it has become a symbol of racial bigotry mainly due to it's use by groups such as the aryan nation, KKK, tea-baggers etc.

Mass. was the first colony to refer to slaves as slaves, while in the south they were referred to as "servants" right up until the Civil War. & btw, those northern slaves were held under the British flag. Slavery had its origins with the first English colonization of North America in Virginia in 1607, although African slaves were brought to Spanish Florida as early as the 1560s. Good luck with YOUR attempt at revising history..

Before you become too envious, take a look at this. Unless his OL is this model with the beautiful round ***, the only thing he's spanking is his monkey. lol
