Dear Rest of the Country - especially those of whom are offended,
This is a SC issue. We’re ok - not entirely happy, mind you - with what we have now. Kindly butt out. Thanks.
Love,
SC
It’s sad to see Utah jumping on the liberal “historical cleansing” bandwagon, but the State has seen a mighty influx of Calif liberal scum. It seems like every liberal and queer in the intermountain west has decided to settle in Salt Lake City around the UofU. That’s why the SLC mayor is a filthy fascist ACLU lawyer.
Time for a purge.
Looks like CA, OR, and MA have the highest percentage of objectors (63%).
History is evil! Kill History!!

The 1860s are over.
Hanging onto the long dead past is destroying the Republican Party.
No real surprises there - Calfornia, Oregon and Maine tied for most liberal.
Kansas, Missouri, and Virginia were at 49-51 percent. Really close. I tell you again this shows how split our country is on everything. I think this 2008 election is going to be another squeeker. It is amazing how split we are as a nation.
how can anyone hate this!
And why would a “sports network” do this kind of poll?
Looks like not much has changed since 1860. Confedracy was demanding “States Rights”, and according to this poll map, looks like the same players, with a few exceptions. To the Blue states, my response is; Yankee Go Home! This is a South Carolina issue, and they don’t need any of your “Sassy, fat-mouth, busybody, Yankee talk, tellin ‘em what to do”.
Would the war be about the right to fly the Confederate flag on the state capital grounds or would the war be about states rights?
(This is a set up question to bait the Reb bashers ;~))
Interesting that Montana, Wyoming, and Alaska are red. I suspect the lack of large urban areas and minority populations is a factor. Also interesting that WV is pro-flag, considering that they began as the most pro-Union part of VA.
North & South would probably not be as hot an issue today had it not been for the Reconstruction Period after the war when land and property were seized from many Southern families and most Southerners had their right to vote suspended. It was these acts that forced the bitterness and polarization of the races that persists to present times. As far as the emancipation of the slaves went, the South embraced it better than the North. The North feared an influx of cheap former slave labor from the South and the labor unions fought it in an attempt to save the jobs of their members. The Battle Flag never became a symbol of racism until the civil rights movement of the 50s and 60s, where it was trotted out with every confrontation. It’s too bad that it became a symbol of something that it was never meant to represent.
Stupid Union jackass.
To deny the right to have a confederate flag in a confederate state is pure stupidity.
Seems like the southern states were stronger about their views than the north. North seemed kind of wishy washy.
Great post. I’m dissapointed that Virginia wasn’t more “red”. I guess we have been infiltrated more than the other southern states.
