  Ive seen the stars and bars at the courthouse in Shreveport, but that was years ago.

    I have never seen a confederate flag outside of a museum.

      I find that difficult to believe. It may be because you live in the far north, surrounded by damn yankees. Or possibly this is a dishonest statement.

        Even when I was in the South, I never saw a Confederate flag. Maybe you are confusing the battle flag with the actual flag.

        Oregon is far from Yankees. Outside of Portland, Eugene, Bend, this is a very rural, red state.

    I find that hard to believe. Was it some ignorant protestor or something?

      No sir, it was the battle flag on the flag pole under the stars and stripes at the Caddo courthouse in Shreveport Louisiana. It was many years ago and I’m sure you wouldn’t find one there now.
