New Jersey removes Mississippi flag from local park due to Confederate imagery

By Owen Daugherty  - 04/28/19 04:35 PM EDT   

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) ordered a state park to remove the Mississippi flag due to the fact that it contains Confederate imagery.

In a tweet Friday, Murphy said the Mississippi flag at Liberty State Park would be replaced by the American flag, saying the imagery does not reflect the state's "values."

“The Confederate symbol does not reflect New Jersey’s values of inclusivity and equality,” he wrote.

Sanctimonious jerks. I hope Mississippi has New Jersey Flags it can remove from public view as well.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Why would they?  Like anyone would celebrate NJ.  Maybe they can pull down some no left turn signs?

That’s what jughandles are for.

Anyway, it’s NJ. I hope to be out of here in 5-10 years. And moving somewhere, Any where but not Florida or California. Leaning towards a cold state. Alaska?
