Hearty chuckle! I’ll let you win this one with such a well versed retort.
enjoy your grilled snake today and no, I’m not posting any photos this time
Now I wonder what it would look like if the PNW, New England, Midwest, Southwest, etc. had flags that represented their regions. What would they look like?
Mass would have a cod on it. In Cod We Trust
except for the fact that they have done everything in their power to put cod fisherman out of business. Maybe a ghost busters “no” circle around a cod would be more fitting.
I figured we were looking for something from our past, for modern times you are quite right. The fisheries system is so broken in the northeast it should be a Greek tragedy.

In all reality the man that retired in that setting would probably be a thousands times happier than someone who has no life other than to start shit on a public forum.

btw, great avatar you have there…what was that other person saying about not saluting the Confederate flag because they valued crappiness? It is simply just the opposite with your backwards people! Even your avatar tells of how crappy you feel oil patch mariners are and how they are all trash. Simply perfect!
I saw a guy today in Southern Arizona holding a confederate flag that said the south will rise again. Do you think he was referring to Mexico?

well as the South Carolina State Senate voted today 37-3 to remove the Confederate flag from the state capitol grounds, these LOONS protest in Arizona proving that ignorance and hatred exist all over the USA
Garrett Mitchell, The Republic July 6, 2015
The same man who staged a contentious rally outside a Phoenix mosque in May led a noisy protest Sunday in Phoenix to denounce Walmart pulling Confederate-flag merchandise from its shelves.
Scores of supporters gathered in a west Phoenix store parking lot near Bell Road and 19th Avenue around 3 p.m. They were met by equally noisy opponents.
The self-proclaimed “patriots” group, which organized the event, waved both American and Confederate flags while chanting “U-S-A” alongside their pickup trucks.
Customers pushing carts full of groceries did double-takes while returning to their vehicles. Many returned with cellphones ready, hoping to capture the scene.
About an hour later, Walmart management asked protesters to leave the property. Both groups flocked to a bus stop on Bell Road, in front of an O’Reilly Auto Parts store, where numerous pedestrians lined the adjacent parking lot.
Tensions peaked when a young counterprotester stomped an American flag into the dirt, only for it to be wrestled out from underneath him by Jon Ritzheimer, a Phoenix man who promoted the rally to support the Confederate symbol as well as the mosque event in May.
He shouted it was disrespectful to the memory of fallen veterans and moved out of the feuding crowd. Dusting it off in a dry breeze, Ritzheimer flew the nation’s flag alongside a Confederate one as cars drove by, occasionally honking horns.
A former Marine, Ritzheimer organized a contentious “freedom of speech” rally outside a Phoenix mosque on May 30. Police estimated about 500 people attended the rally in which protesters and counter-protesters verbally sparred for hours.
For Sunday’s event, Ritzheimer said he was at the protest in opposition of Walmart refusing to sell Confederate flag merchandise in its stores, but he remained relatively quiet throughout the two-hour event as others shouted and chanted.

The announcement by the world’s biggest retailer to drop the Confederate-flag merchandise from in-store and online stock followed in the wake of the shooting deaths of nine people at a historic Black church in Charleston, S.C.
That shooting prompted widespread calls from leading politicians of both major parties to remove the Confederate flag from public spaces.
The shooting also reignited the debate over the flag’s symbolism, including on Phoenix’s streets Sunday.
“This flag represents the KKK and promotes a hate agenda against people of color in this country,” said counterprotester Amy McMullen. “It’s repulsive to people, so why should Walmart sell it?”
One of the most animated Confederate-flag supporters, Nohl Rosen, a self-described “patriot” of Phoenix, remained steadfast in his beliefs following the demonstration.
“The Confederate flag is not a racist flag; it’s a part of our history,” Rosen said. “You can’t erase history. They’re trying to erase history and re-create it to an image they want.”
Many counterprotesters, donning camouflage and black bandannas over their mouths to obscure their faces, clashed with Rosen and others.
Sunday’s heated event drew about 100 people, according to an unofficial police count. Phoenix police spokesman Lt. Randy Force said 11 officers were at the event after Walmart management called police. Some protesters were armed.
Police followed participants to the second location, where many shouted from megaphones and taunted each other by hurling political jabs and insults.
Observers outside of the fray were critical of the demonstration, with many saying they were turned off by the vitriol and banter.
Guadalupe Ismail, who went to Walmart to do grocery shopping, expected a show after noticing demonstrators wearing masks and costumes. She said she moved to Phoenix six months ago from Georgia.
“I didn’t know it was a hatred show,” she said. “It wouldn’t surprise me if this happened in Georgia, but I was shocked to see it in Arizona. It’s very sad.”
In Arizona for Christ’s sake! Can’t say “heritage” there in a place which wasn’t even a state during the Civil War yet alone part of the glorious Confederacy…INSTEAD I SEE NOTHING BUT SEETHING HATRED IN THESE PEOPLE’S MINDS & THEIR NEED FOR THAT FLAG IS TO EXPRESS THEIR LOATHING FOR PEOPLE WHO AREN’T WHITE!

My point exactly they must be referring to Mexico taking back the land by flying all of those “the south will rise again” flags in these parts. I think these fellas need a history lesson. Lol
What I find funny is that eBay and Amazon pulled all confederate flag stuff but yet still sell nazi memorabilia and flags…smh
