Bed and breakfast Nordic Pineapple in Saint Johns has removed their Norwegian flag after dozens of people confuse it for the Confederate flag.

Greg and Kjersten Offbecker moved into the historic mansion two years ago and turned it into a bed and breakfast. As decoration, they hung a Norwegian flag next to the American flag at the front entrance of the inn, but dozens of guests and people driving by have accused the couple of flying a Confederate flag.

“They are the same color, but there are no stars on the Norwegian flag, and the Confederate flag is a big ‘x’ and the Norwegian flag is part of the Nordic countries, they’re all crosses,” Offbecker said.

Last week, the couple decided to remove the flag as they were updating their marketing materials.

Truly, we live among a confederacy of dunces. If they actually STFU we wouldn't have to suffer their stupidity so much. The owner is a wimp for not telling these morons to go shove it.

13% of the population believes it has the right to determine what the other 87% think, say, believe and do and the media, academia and the government backs them.

I wonder if they know that the battle flag was designed after The Cross Of St. Andrew. That both the Florida and Alabama State Flags were take offs of the battle flag.

Hmmm.. Must have been some of those "White women with a collage degrees."

[EEGator]

That’s white, and thus, racist.
