Never did I see as many Confederate flags as I do now. In the 60's -80's that shit didn't go over - at all. Now that I am back in the South I see them every damn day.

The South is the epitome of 1%ers. They act as if no one except them is allowed to rise above their "station" in life. This attitude is un-American, plain and simple.
