Haha yep. Typically my experience as well. The person who is protesting peace, love and happiness is wearing a mask holding a club and throwing rocks.

There's a big, white one around here that's pretty rude.

Default I have one

I've got an old 90s Chevy truck that I use on my farm. Got several bumper stickers on it ranging from guns to abortion to anti-monsanto and anti-GMO stuff.



Got bullet casings from a Mosin in the door as decoration, and 9/10 times got some form of firearm in it.


Ain't got any dangly bits hanging from my trailer hitch though, that's for sure haha!

I remember leaving the SER Library in Garner a few years ago....happened to pull up behind a Prius, the driver of which was waiting for traffic to clear before turning out of the parking lot. I laughed when I saw a "Drill Here! Support Fracking in NC" bumper sticker in the rear window.

This thread got me to thinking and apologies if already discussed, but has anyone else seen the confederate flag on High House Road (somewhere in-between Cary Pkwy and Maynard)? I saw it a couple months ago and it caught me off guard. There was also a "Please Recycle" sign on the property.

Could whoever lives there could be considered a "green-neck"?

Perhaps you are referring to the Dreher residence at 759 High House Road in Cary.

Do a Google search on charles dreher cary nc and find many citations. He is known as a colorful character.

The confederate flag in Cary has been talked about on these forums before.

http://www.city-data.com/forum/ralei...age-house.html

There’s a large one off of Interstate 95 right between Godwin and Wade in Cumberland County. I didn’t remember it being there a few years ago, so this one might have been more recent.

I think he has been in that house longer than most anyone here.

It hasn't been there long. The concrete is still curing around the base

I saw more confederate flags in Western Pa over the Christmas break then I ever see here in the Garner/Raleigh area. Regardless of the historical relevance, most don't see it as "anti-African American" or "The South will Rise Again" type of statement. To them it's more a "Anti-Federal-government-don't-tread-on-me" type of attitude. Kinda gard to explain but that's the jist in it's usage it seems.
