Good move. It’s about time that someone recognized the plight of the disenfranchised white Southern male.

So, I guess the German Government should fly the Swastika alongside the German Flag to “honor” those who fought on BOTH SIDES of WW2?
Fucking Rednecks…

Is there another ocuntry that allows the flying of a flag that was flown by traitors? I don’t understand the thinking that goes on in the South where they feel the rest of America would tolerate it.

Bullshit.

Are they going to fly the 36 starred flag that was flying when Grant forced Lee to surrender? Nope.

Political pandering to the whites by intimating African Americans. Yes.

Thinking? What leads you to believe that these people think?

It would be nice if the places finding it necessary to fly that flag gave up the perks they get under the actual national flag.

Sure because nothing says “Equal Justice Under Law” in front of a courthouse like flying a symbol of the subjugation of African-Americans by White Southern reprobates and bigots.

Of course. It makes perfect sense.

“If not now, when?
If not us, who?”

LOL, please proceed, wingnuts.

What they need to raise is their IQ.

I’d like to visit the courthouse with 20 other anti-racists, drop trousers, and give the flag a 21-bun salute.

It is East TN and it is not at all surprising… this is after all “Don’t Say Gay” country… where woman are barefoot, pregnant and walk a step behind the drunk they call husband… you can also bet that if they are not dropping a kid they are working to support the drunk as he smokes, plays games and drinks… Unfortunately this is where I decided to retire, what a mistake and can’t wait until I get back to West Coast. My statement is supported by facts as I observe more than a few of the idiots who think they can quit their job and move in with my daughter after the 1st date.

The resolution was proposed by Commissioner James “Buddy” Randolph. It says the flag honors those Tennesseans who fought in the Civil War, during which time the state had large numbers of both Union and Confederate supporters.

I’d like to amend the resolution to add that the County send a letter to its US Senators and US Representative, urging that the following flags be flown at:

Vietnam War Memorial:

WWII Memorial:


Korean War Memorial

Greene County is apparently the epicenter of Southern hatred. At least we now know where it is.

Dead-enders will ignore all the Dead End signs. They will go all the way to the dead end. Then they will say, “Huh?”

As they are obviously paying tribute to the Confederate States, then why not let the Confederate States start supporting them financially. Withdraw all federal funds from them, and let the Confederate States take up the slack.
