Petition to Ban Confederate Flag from Walton County Courthouse

[Bob Wells]

Why does Walton County and people like myself support the Confederate Flag?

Don't know and don't care. As for segregation in SoWal, I cross the bridge on a pretty regular basis and I haven't noticed a gate, fence, patrol boats or guards stopping anyone of any color, creed, nationality, religion, gender from crossing. I do find you an amusing individual as it appears your post have become more angry and arrogant and less about your attempt at swaying opinions even though your point of view has won out in the county.

Wasn't at the meeting. Glad of that too. But the racism came through loud and clear on the feed.
That little dude that looks like he stepped out of Deliverance is riding around Rosemary with his rags a flying. It is owners weekend. Cocktails will be interesting tonight. Couldn't care less that he drivers around here wasting gas , that is his absolute right. Other than looking for trouble we have no idea what point he is trying to make , if any.

The lesser of two evils is still evil.

Not on Govenment property.

Putnal, lame attempt to try to turn this issue 180 and call SoWal locals racist and that's why black people don't live here. I don't think people who want to fly the flag are racist. Just ignorant. Most of the world sees the flag as racist (I'd guess 98% plus, but just a guess). So you're ignorant to fly it and ignorant to defend it. The more defensive you get the more racist you appear. Not saying you're racist but just because you want to cuddle up with Jameis Winston doesn't mean you're not a racist.

Everybody knows SoWal got no black folk because they don't swim. :roll:

Putnal seems obsessed with racial diversity. I think he should bring up the issue with the BCC. I don't particularly care who lives in Walton County. And it's none of my business what the racial make-up is. I just don't care for the Courthouse, which should stand for justice for all, to have a flag flying on it's ground, that is divisive, to say the least.

The lesser of two evils is still evil.

NOT on government property.

Ok Michele. You weren't at the meeting but you spew the same crap.

If you don't care about who is driving where, why even mention it?

Who created the trouble Michele? Before this started that flag had flown beside that monument for 51 years, It's still there and you're still whining about it.

Jensky, CNN did a poll on how people view the confederate flag and there are several others as well.

They run pretty much neck and neck from a similar poll done in 2000

1. Among all Americans, 57 percent think the flag symbolizes Southern pride. That's down just two percentage points from the last time the poll was conducted, in 2000. Meanwhile, 72 percent of black people view the flag as a symbol of racism, while just 25 percent of whites feel the same way.Jul 2, 2015

So, guess again.

Good to hear from you Bob. Pretty amusing fellow yourself. We should have a coffee sometime and amuse each other with our arrogance. I think frustrated would be the more correct word to describe my post. I might be a little inflammatory but if you think I am arrogant then you have not read all the post in the thread. As I have been told you must have thick skin in this forum. So, if you do not like my post or if it bothers you, by all means do not read them and hit the ignore button.

I guess we are both ignorant because you were way off on your percentages of those who view the flag as racist. You apparently have an axe to grind with me. Is it because I am a Seminole? Or is it because you do not like the business I am in. Or what? Please share it with all of us.

Well that is a very interesting post. You care about a divisive flag but not about the divisively segregated community you live in. Wow!

Think I have said something like this to you before, but I will repeat it. I think you just like to hear your own voice, but as someone somewhere once said, "if you can't toot your own horn who else will"
