Motel goes Confederate in post-election tantrum

The owners of the Faubus Motel in Huntsville, Arkansas, can't take losing too well, it seems. So now I guess they're trying to secede from the United States because the election didn't go their way.

After Obama's rousing election victory, the motel's owners were such sore losers that they replaced the U.S. flag outside their business with a Confederate flag. This caused much embarrassment to neighbors, even in the South.

The inn's owners (who purchased the business in 1996) explained their stance in detail to the Madison County Record. They said, "We resent having a Marxist in the White House no matter color he is." They also defended Bush and claimed ACORN tried to steal the election in Florida in 2000.

Nobody's saying they don't have a right to fly whatever flag they choose. But just because the hotel owners' actions are legal doesn't mean they don't look like fools with the coping skills of a preschooler.
