Photographed in Fredericksburg, Indiana ...

... on December 7th, a day still known to a handful of Americans as Pearl Harbor Day, by loyal reader Edward Parish.

If you haven't heard or seen for yourself, there is a Nazi flag flying from a home in Fredericksburg, IN, behind the post office on Hwy 150.

Constitutionally protected? Yes.

Tasteless to the extreme? Yes, again -- and a bit too high in the air to reach with NAC's patented SpamGone, the street spam removal facilitator.

First rural Washington County, and next they'll be coming after the video poker machines in New Albany's Legion halls ...

Wow. Tasteless to the extreme to be sure. Ignorant to the extreme as well. But if ignorance is, indeed bliss, there are a lot of happy campers running around.

Very sickening to view this upon bringing up the page. I guess, at times, we need to be sickened a bit.

Muchas Ed and I noted on his blog, it is a question of scale and fashion, I suppose.

We are all subject to irony, it is only a question of recognizing such.

What is transgressive or edgy to one soul will be an emblam of the nefarious to others. I suppose brandishing such outside under the aquamarine may tip the scales somewhat.

While, it before I was born, the Germans had submarines surrounding the USA, and although they blew the crap out of Europe and the U S of A went over there with a can of whoop ass, few people under fifty would know why they should hate a black and red piece of cloth. I am reading much about the fall of empires throughout history and to save your country and your white race you may need another Hitler very very soon.

Surely I am reading that wrong.

We don't need any more Hitlers. Ever.

Please re-think and do more research Mr. Cannon. The Soviet's beat the real German Army all the way back to Berlin.

And yes we do not ever need another madman like Hitler.

Race is another topic you probably wish not to venture into.

The owner Fredericksburg's finest drinking establishment, The Red Fox Tavern, used to sell homemade replicas of Civil War uniforms (only the gray ones, of course). I wonder where he lives?

Thanks Ed. I respect you. I just need to say, the swastika is not owned by the Germans. They adopted the symbol from religious resources much older than the country of Germany or the memory of anyone living today. I am one of those who are under fifty years old and whom need to do much research.

I think the important thing to focus on is how it's used and intended, right?

Here
is some more info on the origins and other meanings of the swatstika

Thanks Ceece, I gathered much information last night but the information you provided is enough. And, enough chewing of the toes for me. Also, because of this thread, my Sate and Country flags will remain in front of my house and the Rebel Flag appropriately in the back yard with the gutted deer.

I noticed it was gone. :-) I think the rest of the ESNA thanks you along with me.
