The Bonnie Blue Confederacy
Once those same people weren't clueless ignoramuses with no breeding or upbringing.
Now a bunch of idiots ignorant in both history and culture has usurped the wrong flag, the wong history, and the wong anthem that goes along with it.
It would be funny if it wasn't so damned pathetic.
This, boys and girls, is the Wiki entry on the Bonnie Blue Flag of the Confederacy.
The amusing thing about this? North Carolina has been flying this for years and NO ONE HAS NOTICED!
It would be funny if it wasn't so damned pathetic.
Read and learn, morons, read and learn.

Mississippi, until a few days ago was flying a confederate battle flag in the upper corner of the state colors. Now the flags are coming down and the vitriol is coming out. There's a new design in the works. The die-hards won't like it. They need to get over it.
Mississippi is still living under the delusion the Antebellum South was a fantasy world where white people all owned huge plantations and no one really worked for a living and all the labor was done by people so happy to have been kidnapped from their homes and transported to America against their will they relished their role as slaves. They passed all sorts of Jim Crow and Separate but Equal laws to see that the status quo was never disturbed and they didn't have to think beyond the next mint julip. Then along came things like Civil Rights and Freedom Marches, and Feminists and suddenly their delusional world began to crumble. And through it all, that stupid flag still waved.
Not anymore. Maybe a new flag, one without the taint of the past flying over the capital dome will signal the beginning of new era. One where the people of Mississippi will have a chance at a decent life.
It could happen.
I am from Mississippi. I was brought up under the confederate battle flag. I have heard the War of Northern Aggression re-fought more times than I can count. Nothing like growing up reading bumper stickers that read 'Save those Confederate dollars, the South will rise again.'
Never did get a straight answer on how they were planning on doing this. It certainly isn't by bringing more jobs or improving educational opportunities for all its citizens was strangely absent from any of the conversations. Mississippi has a brain drain that is second to none. We take our educations and our training and get the hell out of dodge before the ink is dry on our diplomas. The military will tell you over 45% of all military recruits are from the South, a region with only about 36% of the nation's population.
Southerners make hella good soldiers. If there's one thing that Southerns can do, it's fight like hell.
