Petition to Ban Confederate Flag from Walton County Courthouse

[mputnal]

Oh dear 6 oz 7 lb baby Jesus. Not the grown up Jesus. But the baby one... I completely give up. Amen.

We were warned that this was a "dead horse" discussion. Now we have resorted to the "baby Jesus

Mputnal3: please just stop talking. Please. Give it a rest. Please.

You can always "ignore" my post. Otherwise I would like to try and understand people if it is okay with you.

And just what do you mean by that, Teresa? As you damn well know, I am a Westerner by birth, have no dog in this fight except to honor fallen soldiers and I thought the compromise was a very good one. What compromise did you want as you say this wasn't one?

Sorry I missed your question yesterday. I wished for a meaningful compromise that would work for everyone but perhaps that isn't possible.

I meant exactly what I said. It wasn't a real compromise, in my opinion - was this solution decided before the meeting even started? (I had to wonder). I believe the soldiers are well honored with the memorial as it was originally designed. If a flag is needed, why not use the State of Florida flag that represents all? But, it is done and glad it's over. Some people are happy with the outcome - even when the rebel flag meant so much to them - they are willing to to accept another version. Some people are not happy with the outcome and that's the way it goes when decisions are made.

Miami Herald as well.

The article I saw in the Miami Herald was written Monday. I didn't see anything about the actual meeting.

They put up the wrong flag today with 7 stars until they get the one they approved with 13 stars. Huffington post is running story on the whole story tonight.

Are you accusing the BCC of acting out of the Sunshine? Pretty serious accusation that you have no proof of Teresa and speaks volumes to the bitterness of folks here who don't like the outcome.

if you really believe they acted out of the Sunshine I'm sure your ethics complaint will follow.

I have no idea. It's quite possible. I am not a complaint filer kind of person - ain't nobody got time for that. But I had silently wondered this yesterday, and others have mentioned the possibility today. I'm not going there. What does it matter.

Or are you drinking from Cuff's kool aid Teresa?

Just a word about all the nice things some have said about me. I have a temper. I am bombastic at times. I have called many people out on this site when I strongly disageed with their point of view. I am not always a friendly guy and realize I can be as big an ass as anyone. Now, thank you for the nice words and I shall continue to be myself which means it is not always pretty. And Lake View Too, mputnal3 has just as much right to talk as he wishes and as much as he wishes as long as it is reasonably civil.
