Are you sure about this? The only flags I have seen flying on cars EVER were confederate/rebel. I actually saw one pasted on the roof a car a few weeks ago as opposed to painted like on The General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard.

I pretty much think I'm done. I don't like it and I think it's racist, but I have passed the point of not really giving a ****. Look, if someone wants to fly a flag for whatever floats their boat, I say have at it. I actually do not care.

It's not the best idea to display a swastika on your roof, but I'm pretty much over this whole thing. It turns out I'm not easily irritated by people who it appear to be intentionally trying to irritate me.

Funny that there's not a single mention of this outrageous infringement on our Constitutional rights anywhere on the website of the Carrollton Daily Times-Georgian ...

I don't think that whether someone wants to fly a flag for whatever reason has ever been at issue.

It's pretty cut and dry that everybody has the right to fly whatever flag they want. Just like everybody has the right to burn whatever flag they want.

What's been at issue is what flags should be flown on land that is owned or supported by taxpayer money.

A link...

Carroll County students told to remove American flags from trucks | www.wsbtv.com

So, it wasn't flying the flag that was the problem; the students got yelled at because they were driving in a disruptive manner and playing loud music. To be honest, how many of us weren't doing stuff very similar in high school?

“When we got here, they was all yelling at us to take our flags down or they would be cut down and stuff like this,” said student LaChristopher Hebert.
Props to WSB for quoting LaChristoper accurately and not correcting his grammar!
