I agree with Stephen on this question, but IANAL. I wonder what some of the actual defense attorneys who hang around here, like UncleTravelingMatt, have to say about the question of prejudicial vs. probative as it applies to displays of the Asshole Flag.

The "Stars and Bars" refers to the First Confederate flag (the one pictured in the article above). The Confederate Battle flag (the "rebel" flag) is often mistakenly called the "Stars and Bars," even by the racists who fly it.

Just goes to show how well they know their history.

"What does surprise me though is the failure of the confederacy apologists to actually go full metal fanboy for ancient Egypt. "What, they didn't like to hype up a millennia spanning, advanced superpower founded and run by Africans? Nope, can't think of any reason at all...

I know it’s irritating. But if it’s on his property he has a right to display it.

And you have a right to complain about it, of course.

And I have a right, should I ever move to your town and want the services of a realtor, to go tell him, in simple words, why I will not be using his services.

Incidental, probably not related, but at the time if the Civil War, the nickname "Egypt" referred to the lower Ohio valley, a region characterized by place names borrowed from ancient Egypt. This area was also characterized by strong southern sympathies during the war.

They do grow into monsters. I’ve lived in two houses that had magnolia trees in the yard, and even though the blossoms are glorious, the shedding leaf mess — occurring in late spring, not even in the fall! — was terrible. Magnolias really belong in huge open spaces, not in suburban neighborhoods.

I often wonder if they realize that they are losing customers.

Probably not. They think they are the majority.
