NASCAR lunacy and the flag

[Matt Albee]

Says it all

It says a lot, but not all. The Cosby show has already been cancelled on a number of networks. It's been in syndication for what seems like a century, so it might take a while to get it off tv completely. And it couldn't happen soon enough.

What a surprise, nascar quickly jumps on someone elses' bandwagon just to get media attention, and no one takes them seriously.

Does all this mean Steve Martins opening line in the movie "The Jerk" is too offensive for us all to watch now Grandaddy Obama ?

Go back and read the link on post #62. The leading quotes are from "ocalasp76", also known as the driver of the #76 modified Jim Higgenbothersome. I KNEW Jim would have his flag proudly in the air, and woe to the security flack who tried to convince him to take it down.

No kidding, Jim, his camper and his flag were the inspiration for the first post in this thread.

Good job buddy, you stated your view clearly and politely

I'm not sure Grandaddy W, did he open with a line about the confederate flag, or a line about nascar?

A friend posted the taped interview to this story on my facebook page this morning. Can't seem to copy and paste it here though.. :-(..
If anyone can, please do..

No,if you don't remember he said he was born a poor black child.

[Matt Albee]

No, i didn't remember. I always liked that movie.

Thanks to The Onion for some of the Pros and Cons of flying the Confederate flag.

PROS
It's a bold way to display your distorted, painstakingly cherry picked heritage.

It's a stirring symbol of the South's never-surrender attitude 150 years after the South surrendered.

It's the simplest way to let others know that your state ranks at the bottom quintile of all quality of life metrics.

It says political correctness should never get in the way of being on the wrong side of history.

CONS
You can't fully grasp it's granduer like you can on a bedspread or garage door.

U.S. flag already represents the history of entrenched prejudice.

Has always been a sad reminder of the cacellation of the Dukes of Hazzard.

It gives an accurate representation of the person flying it.

Dang Matt. Tell us how you really feel as it is merely YOUR opinion. Where you at on that gay pride flag? For it?

Guilty as charged... and damn proud of it too. Spoken like a true Yankee boy too.

Jim,

Good for you, man. I did not even understand it.

They all sounded like "cons" to me.

But you may be on to something there.

Perhaps he is a Yankee-Doodle Dandy!
