No you didn't get it right!
I'm not fighting to have the bumper stickers removed because there is no clear case law which says it's illegal!! I can disagree till the cows come home but that doesn't make it illegal! If the courts had clearly defined it as a breach of Constitutional law you can bet your ass I would fight it.
Flying that flag on government property is not illegal and never has been. It's not a question of Constitutional law and to date neither is "In God We Trust". So what is there for me to fight against Bob? You seem to have all my answers and clearly know what I think better than I do so, you tell me...what am I supposed to be fighting against? My personal lack of religious convictions prevent me from agreeing with the bumper stickers but my personal convictions are not a matter of law!! Has it been debated in the courts...assuredly it has, has it been ruled as UNCONSTITUTIONAL? No, it hasn't. So again, what am I supposed the be fighting against? I'm not an attorney, I don't try cases, I'm not a Judge I don't make decisions about case law but I abide by and support those which have been determined to be ILLEGAL!!
The people driving the racist bus in this County have attempted to remove something that offends their sensibilities. I'm not offended by that flag and in all honesty, I'm not offended by those damn bumper stickers. I can personally disagree with them because I don't trust in God, he doesn't pay my rent, my taxes, my bills or provide my ability to do those things, I do that! People of Christian faith would/will argue that he provides those things but we both know at the end of the day if I didn't take my ass to work it wouldn't be provided at all. Do I owe my allegiance to faith/trust? Hell no I don't, I owe it to myself!
Get off your hypocritical high horse Bob until you can clearly define what it is you think I should be fighting against!
That's what I thought!
And I think you're full of yourself and full of...
Let me s l o w this down for you Bob.
There were 2 petitions regarding the confederate flag and 2 BCC meetings:
1.) Remove it
2.) Keep it
Which one did you sign Bob?
I didn't sign either of them because my sensibilities are not offended by that flag and I couldn't care less if it stays or goes. It doesn't represent hate, racism or the KKK to me personally and its not illegal.
Which of the 2 BCC meetings did you attend?
I didn't attend either of them for the same reasons I've clearly stated above.
Is there a petition you think I need to know about in regard to the "In God We Trust" issue? Or do you think I need to start one? If the latter is what you think I need to do, I'm sorry to disappoint but its not going to happen because you think I need instigate it. Would I sign one if someone started it? No, because just like the flag issue it's not illegal. Do I have an opinion about it, yes and you obviously didn't understand my opinion when it was clearly stated to you so, there really is no point in rehashing what I have said previously
Should the law change would I jump on a "remove the bumper stickers" bandwagon? Probably so, if it was ruled illegal by the courts. I believe the Sheriff should abide by the law just as he expects the Citizens of this county to do. The Sheriff isn't above the law, he represents the law and has sworn an oath to defend the Constitution of the US.
If the flag were to be removed because a law was passed saying that its illegal to fly it on Government land would I support the law? Absolutely.
The bottom line is, the Uhlfelder's didn't set out to change the law. The came in "guns ablazing" (your words) demanding that flag be removed, stirring up all kinds of hate and discontent, got the NAACP involved, created a racial divide and have done everything in their power to hurt the Community they profess to love with sanctions and threats. You obviously agree with that way of supporting change but I do not.
Last but not least, I do have a voice in how our government does business and/or executes the will of the people. I'm a resident, a taxpayer and a voter. I have the same inherent rights as you or anyone else to voice my displeasure and/or pleasure in regard to the job I think the BCC or the Sheriff is doing and to support (or not) the decisions they make.

The fact that it is the state motto is the ultimate trump card. Game set match. Speaking of trump, pray to God he gets elected as a big midle finger to all this political correctness that is killing this country.
