Confederate flag spotted in Seminole Cty.

Just thought I'd mention it since I haven't seen one since the peak of the Bush years. This one was mounted on the side of a car, probably screwed into a metal frame post. Flag was about four feet wide. There was a young couple inside and I did my best not to look like anything was out of place when I had to wait along next to them for the light to change. But from the corner of my eye, I could see them both waiting to see my reaction.

If this has anything to do with preparation for the prosecutor's announcement regarding Zimmerman, all I can say is, that this is what happens when you allow a subculture to hold the cards for so long that their sense of fair play and justice has been skewed.

1. Some rightwingers seem hellbent on a race war.

2. I see several a year.

There used to be a house down the road that used them as curtains. But then I do live out in east Bumfuck.

3. Maybe it's time to move to west Bumfuck?

4. Yes, they are common in Georgia.

I worked on weekends for a man who sold flags, knives and T-shirts. And the rebel flag was a best seller.

5. I saw a surprising number of them

when driving through West Virginia last week. My revulsion was tempered by enjoying the irony, given the reason West Virgina even exists...

11. They aren't really native Florida. I don't think.

I don't remember that level of nuttery in the seventies. They're more like evidence that the South has filtered in.

6. Was the white flag of surrender accompanying it?

Did it have a sign letting everyone know that the people who flew that flag got their asses kicked?

14. They don't do that.

7. Only one?

I guess you aren't looking in the right places.

12. I am in the "right" place.

[quaker bill]

13. Perhaps so

But I have never gone long without seeing the stars and bars in Central FL. I do see it displayed more often in Lake County, east Orange County, and west Volusia County, but never found the display rare in Seminole. But then, my job has occasion to take me to construction sites.

15. That might be the reason.

They try to "beautify" everything around here. Even to the point of making it more difficult for blue collar workers. i.e. no commercial vehicles are allowed parked over night in residential areas. They're also very good at hiding their prejudices.

8. .

I see at least two a day driving by Confederate Cemetery's,usually another or two here and there at peoples homes.

9. I-75 from GA to FL...

huge ones fly along the way.

Also saw We The People (anti Obama) billboards. And religious signs about abortion. And billboards for strippers.

Lots of signs, lol.

10. Confederate flags are common on houses in southeast Indianapolis.

it's generally known as a hillbilly immigrant neighborhood; lots of immigrants from Kentucky and Tennessee.

I wonder how Hoosiers feel about idiots waving a flag of a nation that was responsible for the deaths of thousands of Hoosiers in the Civil War.
