Strange Things to Be Together

I recently wrote about the home in Martinsville, Indiana, which has been drawing a lot of attention because a Confederate flag is flying from the flagpole and an Obama sign is in the yard. Definitely not what you'd expect to see.

The October 311st Martinsville (Ind) Reporter-Times reports that the homes owner, Howard Livingston, was wondering why so many people were coming by and taking pictures.

He put the Confederate flag up (under the Stars and Stripes) and is wife is an Obama supporter. He is aware that some believe the Confederate flag to be racist, but Howard believes that those who do are probably racist themselves.

By the way, he doesn't vote himself.

Well Said, Mr. Livingston. --Old B-Runner
