While googling for that particular t-shirt, I realized the caption is a pretty common term in some circles. Even the neo-confederates claim "Next time we'll pick our own damn cotton." Yeah, right.

Anyway, point being it looks to me as if it the expression couldn't be copyrighted and the bleepin' flag sure isn't, so I had a few ideas for making your own, depending on your mood: Either a ripped or better yet, burning confederate flag. Captions could range from "Don't want a black man in your White House? Next time..." or "Pissed off a black man got elected president? Next time..." My favorite would be: "Lincoln could've told you it would end like this. Next time..."

I also like the idea of a depiction of Jeff Davis or Lee lying on his back, x's on his eyes, legs straight up like one of those old 'dead roach' poses. Along with the burning/ripped flag, of course.

Those are just ideas for starting points. Give your imagination free rein. And make sure your insurance is up to date just in case. But I'll bet you've got the backbone to do it.
