Johnson County (NC) and Confederate flags. (Obama, March, school, elect)

[TuborgP]

When we first moved here several years ago rarely saw them. Now they are seen much more often on cars etc etc. Are we nearing a historical year in the history of the south? Is there some reason why folks are more interested in displaying their historical flag? Am I just noticing them more? Is this a trend throughout the Triangle?

Every time I’ve driven through JoCo since Obama was elected President I’ve seen at least one Confederate flag.

This morning a bunch of JoCo kids set up a memorial to the latest kid to die in a car wreck there in his parking space at school-Confederate Flag flying proudly.

I don't think so. I haven't seen one in almost 5 years.

The only flags flying in my neighborhood are of the colleges that residents support during March Madness.

I noticed the other day the house on High House in Cary had one flying. However, knowing that house (this is the one with the toilet seat) I get the feeling everything they do is for shock value

It's not a Triangle trend, thank goodness.

A lot of people died for that flag...so why not display it!

Didn't you know that the Civil War is still being fought in the South? I hate seeing those flags, but some folks are still fighting. Go figure.

Johnston County scares me. It's too bad, because downtown Smithfield is completely adorable. I make the connection between this president and the flags as well. Sigh.
