Neo-confederates Overcompensate for Miniature Penises, vol. [data failure, cannot compute]
By The largest Confederate battle flag in the world has grown by 10 feet.
Members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans unfurled the bigger flag Sunday, which is on private property at the junction of Interstates 4 and 75.
It’s now 30 by 60 feet, compared to the previous 50-foot “Stars and Bars” used to wave in the wind over Hillsborough County’s two major highways.
So why a new flag?
The old one, which went up in June, will be sold in pieces on eBay to help pay for a memorial, said Marion Lambert, spokesman for the Florida Sons of Confederate Veterans.
The $100,000 monument, made of 16-tons of granite, will be adorned with brass plaques honoring Confederate veterans.
“It’s flying very large, very big and very red,” Lambert said. “I think it can go quite a bit bigger, though.”
I’m sure you do, Hoss. I’m sure you do.

Isn’t this the same organization that claims to revere the flag as the symbol of courage of their Confederate ancestors? What better way to show your respect than to cut it up into little pieces for profit. I guess this is exactly what their ancestors fought and died for. Oh…and I almost forgot to mention that the old flag was made in China.
