Michigan inn owners take down Norwegian flag after it’s mistaken for Confederate flag

“It bugs me as far as the stupidity of people.”

"A Michigan couple took down a Norwegian flag from outside their bed and breakfast because it was regularly mistaken as a symbol of the Confederacy."
"The couple made the move after receiving “at least a dozen hateful emails” and twice as many comments about it, Kjersten Offenbecker told the Lansing State Journal."

It doesn't take much to confuse leftists. They see four red bars and that's all they know. They probably never even heard of Norway.

My Norwegian DNA is highly offended.

 

[Ridgerunner]

Well, I would just tell the offended to stick it up their fjord...

It's a shame....but apparently, except for trumpanzees, people in Michigan are not that familiar with the con-federate flag.

Technically, the U.S. flag should have been flown above it.

Sounds like somebody should learn a little about what they're supposed to hate, so as to avoid causing situations like this.

Good. Norwegians aren't real people anyways.

Neither are terminally stupid Dimms.

I had to go look up the Norwegian flag. And then I had to laugh at the proud ignorance of some people.

I think they should have put up a Confederate battle flag right next to it, as a helpful comparison.

Since "customer is always right", I would put confederate flag instead, so they really have something to complain about.

It's not necessary or required, it's just disrespectful.

 

[norwegen]

Ignorant, confused snowflakes are trying to Finnish us.

This is what college does for you.

Socialists, Marxists, Nazis, Democrats, eventually they destroy anything and everything. For they are the uneducated, hence they fear even themselves and will even kill themselves in their paranoia.

No, technically we are free to fly whatever flag we wish here in the U.S.A.

As it looks today, still looks better than Swedish.

They did it right...

"Should" is flag etiquette, not to be enforced as law. Actually they did it right according to the photo, with the U.S. flag to the right. If people are going to be rude about how it was flown, then they have the defense of following proper etiquette.

But actually the whole establishment looks a little bit too neat and proper. The Finns are naked in the sauna, and there's a Norwegian dance hall next door, with an old spinster keeping the establishment house.

Oslo was once named Christiania, before the Jews began to outnumber the Christians, and became offended at the Greek name for the Messiah or the Anointed One. There's quite a district going on there with the commercial trading of coal and wool, from which Christians were shut out and forbidden from owning businesses or accepting or collecting usury as Jews were allowed to do. And don't forget Norway's "neutrality" in the Second World War, and Quisling's betrayal of the country to the Nazis, comprising mainly the Christian labor unions permitted to work for Jewish business owners: nowadays CDU/CSU in Germany.
