    Sure sure, but my mind is alight with curiosity regardless. Which, if any, of those 3 flags has him most confused? They don’t go together in the least. It looks like he got a game of rock paper scissors in his window

      The confederate flag does not have ‘right out the bag’ wrinkles on it. So that’s probably the starting point.

      To be confused by those flags, you need to have a functional brain that allows you to understand the contradictions. If yours is not functional or you don’t have one at all, then there are no contradictions to make you confused.

        In my experience, smart people are simply more adept at coming up with clever ways to rationalize the contradictions in their beliefs. You don’t have to be stupid to be hateful.
