I would have a very difficult time controlling my soft spoken,sensitive demeanor with that supervisor!

I as well. Not saying this is right or wrong BUT this is what may very well be going on here. Perhaps this is why O did not wear the US Flag lapel pin.

Charge #3: The Confederate Flag flew over Slavery.

While this is true, the same can be said of the u.S. Flag. The u.S. Flag flew over slavery a full 70 years before the Confederate States of America came into existence. The Confederate Flag never flew over the Ships that brought the slaves over here. To top it all off, the Confederate States of America freed her slaves in 1863; the Federal Union didn’t do it until 1868 with the passage of the 13th amendment.



The Confederate flag was a more egalitarian flag than the Federal flag, in that it had integrated troops within its army. In the Federal army, the black troops served in their own divisions and served under white officers. These troopers saw very little combat; they mostly served in servile roles, serving mostly as laborers and personal servants to the white officers.



The Confederate Army used Blacks both as Soldiers and laborers, there were those white officers in the Confederate Army that had personal servants, but this was not the norm. The Black Soldiers in the Confederate Army were paid the same rate as the White Soldier, they were paid more If they served as laborers. Plus if the Black Confederate soldiers found any Northern weapons or equipment, they could sell them to the Confederate Army for about twice what they were worth on the open market.

Thanks for the link. Strongly worded message sent. Offerred a couple suggestions re the supervisor, too. All worded politely, though.

VA and Redneck - thanks for the links - I sent off my "thoughts" to both places. I am sure they will understand my feelings.

I'd have shoved that flag pole up his ass and carried him like a corn dog out the door.

I am sure I probably would have met some folks with badges on had that been I.

The flag would be up where I work.

I'm not surprised by anything like this anymore.

One of my hunting pards is also my best friend's uncle. My buddy works with me.

The company he worked (note the tense) for went to a demerit system to drive the older guys out so they could hire new, cheap labor. My pard had been working there for 17 years or so. Great worker and can weld anything you put in front of him.

At the time in question, a brother LEO in one of our "cities" got shot in the line of duty. This is a guy that we knew personally and it doesn't happen everyday in NH. As a result, flags were supposed to be flown at half-staff.

My pard looks out and sees the flag flying. He asks the supervisory why it's not down and is basically told to go back to work. My pard explains why the flag should be down and that it's important to him. He's told to go back to work. Pard then responds that he's going to go lower it and is asked if it's worth getting written up for. He responds that it is and asks if the write-up is worth being an azzhole over and promptly walks out to deal with the flag. He did take a rip for it.

People suck!
