Yesterday while driving down the road I noticed an American flag mounted on a utility pole. A few hundred yards on down the road the next utility pole had a Confederate flag mounted. Just to let you Confederate sympothizers out there know, YOU CAN'T BE BOTH, Confederate and American. The Confedericy was an attempt to do away with America and it's values, old plantation owners who owned slaves duped hundreds of thousands of young and old mostly poor, men to go to their death to protect slavery.

It's not about your heratige or your way of life it was about protecting a very few people's riches and ability to own, buy and sell another person. I'll say it again for those of you who would fly the stars and bars, fly one flag or another you can't be both. Oh, and I pay taxes just like everyone else that utility pole has my tax dollars too so keep your un-American flag and banners on you own property.

I've encountered hyper-emotional milquetoasts like you, sensitivities like exposed nerves, everything offends them. Uneducated pull toys seeking a world of comfort, safety and security, "lookin' for Utopia in all the wrong places" where nothing offends, nothing disturbs, nothing upsets.

John Lennon wrote a song about that crap.

And, God forbid that you should contribute some of your hard earned tax dollars to that which offends you. So unfair, so unnerving.

I know the feeling.

But, a utility pole? With a flag on it? Now, there's an offense for the record books.

I reckon if you calculated it, your contribution to that pole would be some percent of a percent of a penny, like point zero zero cents.

Maybe check under the cushions on your sofa and easy chairs, could be some lost pennies under there, maybe even a nickel or dime, recover some of your money, balance things out.

Now, about that Civil War thing you're bitchin about. Specifically the Confederate States of America. And, slavery and treason, and other things.

Depending on who did the research, between 6% and 14% of southern land owners owned slaves, the wealthy aristocrats with the big plantations had maybe 100 slaves; folks owning a few acres of cotton had 1 or 2, at the very most 10.

More accurate studies reveal that 0.1% of southern land owners held 100 or more slaves, and on the other end, 76% held no slaves at all.

The succession of the southern states was not an "attempt to do away with America and it's values". The succession of the southern states was more of a states rights issue than it was a defense of slavery.

But, that was before the early 1900s when a democrat president introduced progressivism into American politics and who pushed an amendment that effectively destroyed Federalism and put states rights in the hands of the federal government. Been goin down hill ever since.

You wanna see some traitors, you don't have to go back a hundred and sixty years and accuse southerners of treason, just go to Washington DC, pay a visit to the WH, place is packed with 'em - everything from caged monkeys to mangy lions and retarded chimps (or chumps, if you please) to screaming banshees. It's like a zoo in there. Wild and crazy animals tearing our Constitution to shreds and shitting on our flag. And, not a sign anywhere telling us not to feed 'em.

A utility pole with a flag on it? What will you come up with next?

Might have to do some research, see how many utility poles there are in the US of A. I'll bet many of them have something on them that offends someone.

Know what offends me? Contributing against my principles to the killing of unborn babies, and shouldering some of the enormous financial burden of illegal immigration, and getting hammered by the rising costs of food, gas and electricity (which, BTW, those utility poles direct into my home), and having to pony up tax money to recover from a disastrous mistake resulting in the loss of life, the entrapment of Americans behind enemy lines, and loss of billions of dollars worth of military hardware and munitions.

And, of course, contributing to the salaries of the traitors in DC.

FYI: Robert E Lee was no traitor. And, neither was Stonewall or George Washington.




Hey, there it is. Kinda purty, I say. As American as cotton pickin and apple pie. Red, white and blue, got some stripes on it, and 13 stars just like the original 13. What Betsy Ross stitched up. Got one of these in my bug out bag. Just in case.
