I was worried about idiots like this one when I put out my Texas flag on Texas Independence Day (March 2nd) in Georgia.

"A news tip earlier this week that reported a Confederate flag flying beneath an American flag in the Greenwood neighborhood of Seattle, Washington was discovered to be a mistake — because the red and blue-striped flag was actually a Norwegian flag.
The Seattle Times received the following tip from New York Times best-selling author Rebecca Morris after she believed that she saw a Confederate flag flying in her neighborhood: “Hi. Suddenly there is a Confederate flag flying in front of a house in my Greenwood neighborhood. It is at the north-east corner of 92nd and Palatine, just a block west of 92nd and Greenwood Ave N. I would love to know what this ‘means’ … but of course don’t want to knock on their door. Maybe others in the area are flying the flag? Maybe it’s a story? Thank you.”..."

The Norwegian flag really looks nothing like the Stars and Bars or the flag of the CSA.

Stupid is stupid I guess.

Friend of mine got accosted by a woman at the Market in Charleston for the tshirt he was wearing. She cussed him up and down for wearing a Confederate flag shirt.

Only problem is he was wearing a Moultrie flag shirt



The Moultrie flag was from the Revolutionary War.

He not so nicely told her she might want to brush up on her history before she started trying to call people out in public.

damn northerners!

So what if they did fly a confederate flag. It's nobody's damn business. Is this still America?

News tip? I gotta tip for them.

Could be a HOC issue. If not, the lady is just easily offended. It's rampant these days.

I dont fly one because it's idiotic in my opinion. If we are going to outlaw idiocy I have a list ready. Otherwise I'll defend people's rights to expression and freedom even if I don't agree. Freaking totalitarian bastards.

It's hilarious, in a George Orwell scary kind of way, that it seems that the only people seriously trying to limit freedom of speech are extremists on the left. They appear unable to debate an issue on its merits without claiming in a hate-filled manner that an opposing view is "hate speech" that should be stopped.

If I speak out for the rights of unborn children, the hysterical left says I hate women, have no right to speak because I'm a man and should have to stop my protest of the infanticide.

If I speak out against the things I consider to be detrimental to the foundation of our society, such as acceptance of "non-binary" as a "third gender," the unhinged left labels me a hateful phobic and says I should be compelled by law to accept what I feel is unacceptable.

There are obviously many other examples. I have no problem with debating those with whom I disagree and feel strongly that they should have every right to express their views. However, the hard left seems to feel that their arguments are so weak that the only way to win the debate is through silencing those opposing views by any means necessary. Totalitarian indeed.

Imagine if the press looked half this hard for Hillary's emails.

That's what I was thinking as well. So what? .

Read an article a while back. Its says "racist" doesn't have the old meaning. It simply means, "I hate you and don't want to hear what you have to say."

Quote:If I speak out for the rights of unborn children, the hysterical left says I hate women, have no right to speak because I'm a man and should have to stop my protest of the infanticide.

I can speak for the "hysterical left" if you like. (and as a woman)

I am not Pro-Life, I am pro-choice. I, personally would never have an abortion. Not my thing. I'm not particularly for them but I am also not in a position to judge someone who chooses to do so. I don't know their circumstances or why they choose to do so. That's what pro-choice is.
The women get chastised because they got pregnant but the man is never vilified for their part in unprotected sex. That's so European medieval that it's not funny. Maybe we need to get Viagra (and it's counterparts) off the market and force vasectomies, but I digress.

Let's look at some other factors here:
1. I feel abortions should not happen after 16 weeks. A lot of women don't even know they're pregnant until 9-12 weeks. I know I didn't, back in 1976. This is not a child. This is still an unviable fetus. I don't care what sonograms show, it's not life.
2. Viable life is at 24 weeks. That's when the brain, nervous system and spinal column connect. That's when they would be able to breathe on their own and feel pain.
3. Any argument that one can survive before that is tenable, at best. Before that, live-saving measures are exorbitant and, more often than not, unsuccessful or leaves the child with some form of handicap.
4. Not every abortion is because a (an eventual) child is unwanted; especially after that 16 weeks. (and abortions after that time-frame are 9/10 medically necessary)

Sure, a man can have an opinion but it doesn't make that opinion medically or factually accurate.

Gender and the identifying sexual organs are not the same things. My daughter had this in part of her Master's Thesis. There isn't a 3rd gender. Psychologically, you identify as male or female, regardless of sex organs.


However, one should not be vilified for opinions. One should only be vilified for being inaccurate when it comes to facts. I hope my two posts are not saying your opinions are wrong and that I only stated my opinions and used some facts.

Got one on the wall in my garage. I'd tell this lady in Seattle the same thing I'd tell anyone else who had a problem with it---> GFY!
