150 years ago today at Appomattox, Robert E. Lee unveiled the Confederate flag's final design.

I saw this flag on a truck in a remote area of California (yes remote areas exist in California)
I wanted to explain to him that he is a LOSER and his appropriate flag should be the flag of surrender.



What mr pete and i cannot understand is
- if you really did not want to be tread on, mocked or have your intelligence questioned,
Do not draw attention to yourself with a giant ridiculous in-your-face flag waving on the back of your truck.

My first reaction (quite primitive) was to give him the finger,
but mr pete (way more practical than I) said the probability of us getting shot at was high.

1. Oh so THAT's why the reenactors were at the Wendy's

My wife and daughter went right by the courthouse on Saturday and stopped at a Wendy's a few mikes away. There was a table of reenactors sitting at a table eating hamburgers. They didn't get a picture 😖

2. Having Relocated from VA to NorCal

about 5 years ago I have only seen 1 confederate since I got here.
Now, unfortunately, I see State of Jefferson XX bumper stickers from time to time.
Idiots...

3. I think you're off by 3 years.

I applaud the concept though... "the only flag that mattered".

4. I think it has more to do with him signaling others that he is a racist.

5. Good decision to not flip him the bird

There are some knuckle draggers who pray for an excuse, any excuse, to bag themselves a "lubrul."

6. Why do we actually need a flag at all?

Why can't we just have a nice pan of brownies? Imagine our Olympic team marching at the opening ceremonies following a delicious homemade pan of brownies. The reason why we don't have ice-pick murders anymore is because we don't have ice-boxes. Perhaps, it's time to move on beyond flags.
