wow..that is quite the stretch.

I find it amazing how people from the right just love to offend people...I can't imagine going through life wanting to offend others.

What is funny is if you look at the Confederate flag and who flies it....pretty much just government and individuals...almost no businesses fly it...why...because most businesses are not in the business to offend people.
