Even when I was in the South, I never saw a Confederate flag. Maybe you are confusing the battle flag with the actual flag.
Oregon is far from Yankees. Outside of Portland, Eugene, Bend, this is a very rural, red state.
I was talking about the battle flag. I specifically referred to it by it's nickname.
You didn't indicate that you were not talking about the battle flag, in response to my statement about the battle flag. Why not? Poor communication skills or just trolling? To say that the battle flag is not an actual flag is misleading and untruthful.
It's an easy misdirect away from the actual problem. So yeah, it is absolutely misleading and untruthful.
It was a misunderstanding, not everybody knows everything. In fact, I was the wrong one, having heard the battle flag referred to as the " stars and bars" but in fact that was the name of the original flag with the 7 stars in a circle on a blue field in the upper left, with 1 white and 2 red stripes on the right. I have heard several people say shit like "salute the stars and bars!" when referring to the familiar battle flag. So til.
Still, I have seen the original Confederate flag around, but never on a government building. I have also seen the Bonnie blue flag here and there. It makes me wonder how racist and backwards you have to be to put such a symbol on the side of your barn.
I have never heard it called the stars and bars. Not saying you are wrong, just never heard anyone call it that.
Huh? Red states are deserts? The coast is a desert? I am not sure your statement makes any sense at all.
Read what you said again old sport. It was barely English.
The state isn’t as blue as you think. It’s a common misconception from people who don’t live here.
Why are you quoting religious demographics ?

35 vs 25. That isn’t a grand slam.

Governor within 3%

And? Can you be more clear in your point? So far you’ve only proven what I said at fact.
I said it’s not a blue as people think. The whole state isn’t a blue haven. I am right and you’ve proven. Thank you for that.
I never claimed otherwise. What I said is it isn’t as blue as people think which is true. 3% difference in voting for governor is actually pretty slim considering how disliked drazen is. Had Johnson not run, drazen would have won.
No you’re just babbling. All you did is prove my point. You seem to think the whole state is dark blue when it isn’t. Have a good night old sport
Not at all. Same goal post.
You just didn’t read what I said.
Instead you decided to prove I as correct for which I thank you. It’s rare someone proves the other persons so accurate because they failed to understand the initial statement. My hats off to you.
