#1 ...I've said this before, and it bears repeating - Governor Cooper seems to think that his entire state consists of Charlotte, Raliegh-Durham, and Chapel Hill.

It ain't.

#2 There used to be a large confederate flag adjacent to the highway on the stretch of highway between Knoxville and Nashville in middle Tennessee. I never heard any controversy about the flag. I think it was on private property. Very often crosses are also erected on private property next to interstates.

If one believes in private property and free speech, this has to be O.K. Are we supposed to cave-in to the wishes of left-wing radicals and atheists?

#4 As a Midwesterner now living in the South, I've never understood the Confederate flag thing. It was a losing effort--and the South didn't exactly cover itself with glory. So why celebrate?

People can if they want--but I've never understood the rationale.

#5 I think it was always an "FU" to the carpet-bagging north

#6 Even if on private property, it will soon be deemed "hate speech" if it can be seen from a public location.

#7 So we are now responsible for someone's feelings being hurt because of what they see or hear? These fragile hot house flowers need to put their big girl or big boy pants on and grow up and get on with their lives; otherwise they are going to be offended by much that is in our world.

Were these people offended by the atrocities (beheadings, rapes, burning of people alive) of ISIS and AQ? How about the human-trafficking mentioned in the Horowitz report in 2018? The left and the MSM largely ignored the Horowitz report and its mention of Clinton involvement in child trafficking. Child-trafficking. Where was the outrage about that? Are they outraged by the assassinations and killings of police officers?
