Michigan B & B owners take down Norwegian flag after woke bashing

Greg and Kjersten Offenbecker run a bed and breakfast near Lansing, Michigan and flew a Norwegian flag adorning The Nordic Pineapple, their B & B outside in St. Johns.

The home is a Civil War-era house built by a Union brevet general in 1861 and spreads out almost 9,000 square feet. Kjersten's grandfather was born in Norway,  and she named the house in honor of her Norwegian heritage.

An idiot passerby repeatedly came along and thought the Norwegian flag was a Civil War Confederate flag, because, hey, idiots make mistakes, and this idiot saw an opportunity to virtue signal and tell everyone in the area that the B & B was flying a Confederate flag.

The Offenbeckers moved to the property in 2018 and nobody said "boo" about the flag until the left began canceling everything they could find that would make them feel superior to everyone whose lives they ruined. Now the couple have received "at least a dozen hateful emails" by cowards who dared not confront them face-to-face, which may have educated them as to what country the flag represents.

Initially, when the Offenbeckers overheard people talking about their bed and breakfast, they thought they were being complimented on it. "I was so happy at first," Kjersten told a local newspaper. Then she learned that they were gossiping about their flag. "Oh my gosh; this town thinks that we're hanging the Confederate flag," she said.

The Norwegian flag was adopted in 1821 and while the Confederate flag has a slightly similar design, the differences between them are obvious. Norway uses a blue Nordic cross outlined in white and laid over red. The Confederate "stars and bars" flag, uses a St. Andrew's cross adorned with stars, a design that originated in Scotland.

Kjersten said she can’t see the resemblance because she grew up with the Norwegian flag. “To me they are two distinct flags,” she explained. Her husband, Greg Offenbecker, was more blunt and expressed his frustration with people’s ignorance. “It bugs me as far as the stupidity of people,” he said. “Even if the flag is blowing in the wind or laying limp, there are no stars on it. They look nothing alike.”

Tell that to those ignorant people who have a problem with it.

As it turns out, the Offenbeckers removed both the Norwegian and American flags to satisfy their community of cancel culture nose pickers.
