The owner can put it back on when they leave work. For the next year we will see the confederate flag more then ever before all over the country but it will eventually fade away to rare again.

Or I hope these next months all of us talk to everyone we know and express our displeasure and reasons for removing the flag from everywhere forever.

The baffling thing for many of us north o' the Mason-Dixon is how our fellow state residents can claim to feel such kinship with the Confederacy.

So although you're absolutely correct that bigotry is everywhere, the curious fondness for the pre-1865 South would seem wildly out of place geographically, at least.

Then I saw there was an ordinance against such expressions (political) on town property, so I guess the town is in the right on that.

Maybe he can make/buy a magnetic flag and take it off when he's working. I despise the flag, but I stand by a person's right to free expression, no matter how nasty it may be.

The joke is about why anyone in New Hampshire would be flying the Dixie Swastika (or do you prefer Racist Sanitary Napkin? ).

You mean this kind of thing is happening elsewhere than the south???

My, oh my.

of incidents with the flag in PA, SD, NE, IA, and IL.

And one DUer posted about one up in New England recently.

The south-haters here should take note. There are racists everywhere.

I have yet to see a single one of those flags in NC or SC in my travels across both states, with the exception of a guy on a motorcycle, who had it on the back of his jacket.

His license place was from Ohio.

When I was a kid it was our town's honor to be part of the underground railroad. That's how far off the rails we've gone.....

when you had these suburban and rural white kids wearing red and blue bandanas and flashing hand signs ...

who will now be perfectly correct when he suggests that no town employee can park at their workplaces with political bumper stickers....you know-like for Bernie and Hillary. I find his views repugnant but I think the original rule was more likely meant for apparel than for transport and really does infringe on the first.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - A New Hampshire town administrator at the center of a dispute over the Confederate battle flag says the town will drop its policy barring political statements by workers when they are on the clock ... Samson on Monday asked DeFosse to stop displaying a Confederate flag on his personal vehicle during work hours. Defosse told the Valley News that he was protesting South Carolina's decision to remove the flag from its statehouse following the shooting of nine people. Samson says a state law protecting political speech by state and municipal employees prompted the shift. He says Defosse told him he won't display the flag and apologized for the disruption he caused.
