Seattle residents complained about a "Confederate Flag". It was the Flag of Norway !

Over the weekend the Seattle Times jumped at a news tip: There was a Confederate flag flying beneath the American flag in the city's Greenwood neighborhood, and residents were very concerned.
Only it turns out it wasn't the Confederate flag at all. It was the state flag of Norway and a group of friendly Norwegians were just trying to show their patriotism and support for their Olympic Team when their very concerned neighbors contacted local media.
“Hi. Suddenly there is a Confederate flag flying in front of a house in my Greenwood neighborhood. It is at the north-east corner of 92nd and Palatine, just a block west of 92nd and Greenwood Ave N. The tipster said according to the Times "I would love to know what this ‘means’ … but of course don’t want to knock on their door. Maybe others in the area are flying the flag? Maybe it’s a story? Thank you."

Eager to get the scoop, reporters for the Seattle Times hopped into a car and hightailed it to view the offending flag for themselves. Only it turned out they weren't in for quite the controversial sighting they'd anticipated.

“That’s a Norwegian flag,” said the Norwegian owner of the flagpole in question. “It’s been up there since the start of the Olympics."

I thought the Progressives were very educated and superior in every way LMMFAO !

Flags stir emotions in every country around the world.

Unlike the Star Spangled Banner and the Britain's Union Jack many flags are difficult to instantly identify.

Those with an over developed sense of patriotism are usually the ones who will demonstrate, or even riot against the flying of a flag which they perceive to represent a threat to their traditional way of life and heritage.

The flying of the Confederate flag could be like a red rag to a bull to black people as some of them may see it as a symbol of slavery, but we must be mindful of the great contribution the Confederate States has made, and continues to make to the prosperity of America.

Really rich! The Progressives confused the Norwegian red-and-blue banner for the Confederate stars-and-bars. Again it is evident that the Progressives live in a perpetual State of Confusion and always looking for something to complain about !

I have Norwegian ancestors, believe in States Rights, and now I live in rural South Carolina.

Does this mean I have to:

- Plant a cotton crop?

- Buy a pickup truck?

- Say nigger instead of Black person?

- Drink moonshine instead of scotch?

- Make retarded costumes out of my bed sheets?

- Buy white bed sheets?

- Say "The South will rise again!"

- Join the Democrat party?

What exactly are the rules here? ;)

I would say the Terminally Offended really need to get some education on flags before they cry wolf and send the eager Progressives on a false witch hunt. That is the observation that is blatantly clear here.

Yep. I mean, it is pretty pathetic being against something you cannot reliably identify.

But people also need some perspective.

Even if somebody had actually been flying a real flag of the Army of Northern Virginia, the rest of the story is STILL worthy of ridicule.

It is funny enough that residents thought it was worth tipping a reporter about this, but it is even funnier that there was so little real news worth reporting that crews were sent out to investigate. They must have thought the headlines would be pretty shocking. I came up with some likely candidates:

"Southern Gentry and Seattle's Gentrification"

"The South Rises Again in the Pacific Northwest"

''People Minding Their Own Business Fly Unpopular Flag"

"Good Ol' Boy Moves from Rural White Neighborhood to Suburban White Neighborhood"

"Greenwood Resident Taunts Neighborhood Libtards with Piece of Cloth"

"Non-Leftest Exercises First Amendment: Property Values Plummet!"

(Southern accent) DAMN progressives again, with thier progressive way of doing things, breathing up all our air. I’LL be GODDAMNED if I’m going here sir here and listen to this progressive agenda!!!

First, they come here to MY house and thier putting CHEMICALS is the water, to turn the frogs GAY, I mean what the fick, are we supposed to just watch as these progressives try to make our flag into a hateful nor hot Sk shekdkdjdjdj, blah blah, progressives , ya.

Once again the progressives are sitting in thier flying aliens thrones, and trying to make our flag into chemicals , they put in em in your water. Come on people, wake up. The Moon, o mean come on don’t get me started on the moon, ok, my head voices are telling the progressives want me to keep on going so ......

I'm unsure. How did you confuse invading Iraq with liberating it?

Conservatives didn't confuse them. Barack Obama, your liberal geniustard, helped "liberate" Libya & watched half assed as Syria was butchered like cow meat. & then ISIS ran over Libya & Syria like a swarm of cockroaches. He tried to "liberate" Egypt as well. Then the Egyptian army had to run off his puppet Muslim Brotherhood regime. You are stupid beyond belief.

If it had been a Mexican MS-13 flag, they would have clapped like seals. Nothing better than brown gangsters killing people in the streets as liberals pretend their gun kills don't matter in gun/migration debates.

But this just raises another question: What gives this man the right to wave a foreign flag in our country?
