more political pandering to hide his disaster as governor.

Nothing beats VA’s state flag, we have a half-naked woman committing murder on ours.

New Jersey’s Flag has the horse’s head from The Godfather.

People in Mississippi always ignore New Jersey politicians.

This could be the new state flag for Minnesota,

Or Michigan...

Didn’t he do this right after Trump’s comment about Robert E. Lee? I guess he couldn’t find anything better to order removed, and had to settle for a state flag among fifty of them in a park.

**Fortunately, we here in New Jersey do not need to engage in these arguments. The Civil War ended 154 years ago. Our side won.**

quite the virtue signaling from dear cousin Mulshine. Except in 1790 New Jersey had 11,423 slaves on census but by 1830 they had double: 22,554 - even after selling as many slaves as they could ‘down south’. NJ participated in the pre- and post- Civil War practice of ‘gradual emancipation’ (a courtesy not offered the South), and of passing laws making it illegal for blacks to move north, or buy land, or do much of anything besides get out. A NJ slave found more than 5 miles from his home by law was flogged and his owner fined. New Jersey’s 1804 law set 25 year terms for slave children but not their parents. In 1846, NJ passed ‘apprentice for life’ laws - a rose by any other name is still a slave, tho.

So while Paul may preach ‘we won’, the facts remain that NJ was as complicit in slavery as any southern state. So what does that say about THEIR flag - maybe the garden state should remove those slave plows from their flag. Or maybe we can forgive a world history of slavetaking, knock off the virtue signaling, and get on with our lives.

“It seems the flags of several states, including Alabama and Florida, incorporate that sort of squashed “X” pattern known as a “St. Andrew’s Cross,” that appears on the Confederate battle flag.”

The Saltire of Burgundy is from Spain’s flag years ago - Spain had owned Florida and southern Alabama.

The current flag of NJ was the flag of a slave state until nearly 1850; our governor should worry about NJ’s flag.

This will no doubt be the most important decision he’ll make as governor. /s
