A few years ago we were boating on delta near Rio La Plata and passed a decent sized boat that had both Argentine and Confederate flags.  My father in law's best guess was that the boat owner was maybe a big Elvis fan.

Possible fan of John L. Cook clothes, possible descendant of the Confederados.

A few years ago I was on a bus in Tanzania, and went by a house that had a giant confederate flag blanket drying in the front yard. I really wish I'd been able to stop and take a picture (I'm sure it was just part of excess stuff that gets donated to charity when it doesn't sell).
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

It might be that, or it might be the decontextualization that you see sometimes in places where they get American pop culture but not American history. "It's a rebel flag, and I'm a rebel! :cool:"

I had an odd moment of that sort among the hill tribes on the Thai-Burmese border: an entire tribe outfitted in disco-era clothes. One guy had a silver lame shirt and bellbottoms.

The village elders talk about the glorious Minnesota Vikings of the 70s.
