Yes Sir, A Heritage of Hate
Okay, let me tell you a little something about Montague County, Texas. It’s out near Wichita Falls, and it borders on the Red River. One good sneeze and it’s in Oklahoma. Montague County is a thousand square miles and has a population of 19,000. Obviously, the people who live there don’t like being around other people.
There’s one old fart in Montague County who doesn’t cotton to all this Supreme Court nonsense. He has great pride in the self-proclaimed fact that he has two grandfathers who fought on the losing side of a racist war.
So, he put a 6 foot wooden confederate war flag on the front of his business. It faces the county courthouse. On it, he has placed the words, “Heritage, Not Hate.” Yeah, Dude, but it’s a heritage of hate.
Here’s one minute of Hey Shuddup You Old Coot.
Enjoy.
This is answerable. It must be. Is there no one about who can put up on the front of their whatever a huge picture of the slave with the whip scarred back? Frankly, I think these yahoos have no idea what heritage means. They are just throwing stuff around like monkeys at the zoo.
1These guys all fancy themselves refighting that war. What they fail to take into consideration is that nothing has changed in terms of food distribution, manufacturing capability, the locus of the engine of capital, the disparity in basic education, etc.
Not only would they lose again, they’d lose harder and uglier. Imagine the Matthew Brady shots of these clowns lying bloated and dead on the field, big as storage sheds with corpse gas. And those are only the hogs that died for want of air conditioning.
At least there are bulldozers to push them off with now.
2Someone should just put a sticker on it that says “LOSER”.
3“It’s not about slavery! It’s about states’ rights to… allow slavery.”
Look, we all know they’re in denial. We all know there’s no talking someone out of denial. Just leave ’em be, as John Oliver said, so we can easily identify the worst people in the world.
4Another loser with an anger management problem.
5This is nothing new. Google maps shows it on the building in February 2013.
Heritage, not hate. Translation: I hate
I am not a racist. Translation: I am a racist
That is not what I meant. Translation: Damn, did I say that out loud?
Republican Speak.
6@3: Honestly, I am afraid that reminding these people that they celebrate being losers might incite violence. I mean, isn’t that their point in maintaining Southern white supremacy?
“We may be losers, but we’re angry, *violent* losers, so don’t try to tell us to believe differently!”
7Looking back over my life I can’t really remember a time when I celebrated losing (well, weight, maybe). It’s not normal or rational.
8I’m a bit surprised to see so much evidence of inbreeding and treason so far west in Texas. Maybe the family moved there from … what Mississippi?
9I like the idea of a midnight raid with a can of black spray paint to add “Loser” right across this flag. Bet the entire thing would be gone PDQ.

11Paint that as mural on the side of van and park it in front of his store. Every day.
I’m tired of laughing at these creeps. From now on I call that flag by a better name, the flag of the traitors. They turned their backs on The United States then they turned their guns on The United States. They killed 360,000 loyal Americans.
Abe Lincoln said he would forgive the treason. So will I, when it stops.
12As much as I dislike the waving of the Confederate flag, it is his property and he is free to display whatever emblems he chooses on that property. Regardless of its proximity to the courthouse.
13One would hope, however, that it might give prospective customers pause for thought, and the inclination to do their business elsewhere.
The following photo needs to be posted everywhere with the following, written under it!

“Here’s what your flag represents!”
14The county seat of Montague County is an unincorporated town of maybe 400 folks. There is the county court house, Mr. Fenogilo, and a handful of other old farts, that’s it. There isn’t even a doughnut shop. Having been there recently, I am aware of Fenogilo’s “business,” but its only purpose may be to occupy Feongilo so that he does not bother people in metropolitan Bowie, Texas, population, oh, maybe 5000.
15I have no problem with that flag. I’ll gladly toss one on his coffin as it’s lowered into the ground. Then they can rot together.
16Love, JAKvirginia!
17“The Traitor Flag.” I like that. Thanks Ralph. I’ve been searching for something else to call it and I’ve considered the Racist Flag, Hate Flag, and the (crude term for sexual intercourse, 4 letter word beginning with “f”) -Face Flag.
Does that pass the Momma Test, JJ?
18That flag is also very handy for locating the village idiot.
19Well that explains why someone living a few miles away is no longer a friend of mine (the screen cap misspelled the guy’s name. He must be a relative of the person of the same name, from that part of the state. )
Ralph, I’ve been calling it the flag of traitors for years now. People just stare at me like cows over a fence. It is a heritage of hate, a heritage of racism, and a heritage of treason. Not one thing to be proud of.
20I kept wondering how they would feel about flying the British Flag. It too was a flag that flew over those same lands and lost to the American forces. So, if the issue was heritage, that would be a heritage display too, right?
21It is the American Jihad Flag, a Flag of Terror to our own citizens, a symbol of armed insurrection against the American people.
22The inbreeding and treason goes a lot further west than Montague County. Have you never been to Lubbock?
23As my grandfather would have said about that hat, “You need two of those”. I won’t explain why two are necessary, because Mama might be reading.
