Heritage, Not Hate. Well…Okay…Hate Too. Mostly.

A patriot speaks out…

Anti-gay sign goes up in Post Falls

Jim Valentine lumps gay people and pedophiles together. And he doesn’t want any of them living in Idaho.

The Post Falls business owner posted a message in bold letters on his reader board this morning: “Peds queers fags your (sic) in Idaho now…”

That’s what northbound drivers on Pleasantview Road see when they drive past the sign for his landscape supply and horse-boarding business, Dixie Services.

And…guess who’s flag he’s flying…

“People are kind of numb. I think they need to wake up a little bit,” said Valentine, who drives classic cars emblazoned with the Confederate flag. One has a horn that plays “Dixie.”

Yes Jim…people are kind of numb.  And you’re kind of a numbskull.  Well…I hear Idaho has its share of folks who greatly admire the Third Reich and fly the swastika, and never mind that the closest they’ve ever been to Germany is a side order of sauerkraut.  Why not idiots who love the Antebellum south and fly the confederate flag too.  Maybe he’ll take confederate money in exchange for his services.

You have to wonder what southerners think of all this.   Ex governor of Virginia, senate candidate and all around racist prick George Allen grew up in California, yet his college dorm was festooned with  confederate battle flags, and the occasional noose.  He’s as southern as a Hollywood riverboat, but he longs for Dixie just like Jim does.  Like all those northwestern American Slavs, Saxons and Jutes dressing up in their brownshirts and swastikas, fantasizing themselves pure blond-haired Aryan stock and longing for the Vaterland.  And come to think of it, Hitler was an Austrian anyway, not a German.

One Response to “Heritage, Not Hate. Well…Okay…Hate Too. Mostly.”

  1. Bill S Says:

    So I guess “Pleasantview Road” is supposed to be ironic.
