  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 was talking about the battle flag. I specifically referred to it by it’s nickname.

        You didn’t indicate that you were not talking about the battle flag, in response to my statement about the battle flag. Why not? Poor communication skills or just trolling? To say that the battle flag is not an actual flag is misleading and untruthful.

        That’s because that’s where most of the population is.

        Once you get into the red states things get waaaaaay more sparse. Most of it is desert.

        Thank god land doesn’t vote.

  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.
