Symbolism. A murderer burned the US flag and admired the confederate flag. Politicians want to ban the confederate flag. Will they seek to ban the murderer’s other symbols?

No. They’ve wanted to eliminate the confederate flag for a long time now. This is just an excuse.

Interesting how this has veered from gun control into flag control.

They are desperate to politicize something, anything, about these shootings and get a political win over the horrible murders of innocent people by a dead-eyed lunatic strung out on who knows what cocktail of drugs.

The ba$tard socialists want to destroy our heritage so they can replace it with their version rewritten to support their ultimate goal. The useful idiots in office can’t even see they are being used.

We have several here who say exactly the same thing as this nut

It’s a way to play whites to bend to minority will

Anytime a psycho kills it is now used if possible to further destroy American tradition

Southern heritage is just low hanging fruit

Has been most of my life and I’m near Five Eight

To see folks who claim to be conservative here pander is depressing

I’m at a nice hotel in the French Quarter packing to head north to home in Nashville

If you want to see really how race has turned out come here and look

If that doesnt give sensible folks pause I don’t think anything will

The grandest defeat of the most dominant culture the world ever knew and accomplished without a formal shot fired

But it simply can’t be explained to the ignorant

But people carry on I guess

I really detest the world I’m leaving my children especially my boys

Eliminating the confederate flag is just a tool to impose their political will over others

People who think it helps shit are maybe naive or well meaning and ignorant

Quit being cute Mack

Let her rip

This is your moment you’ve been waiting for. A nut wrapped up in Southern stuff has murdered innocent blacks

Why aren’t you cheering these asshats on Mac?

You think banning any display of southern history you don’t like will make blacks all warm and appreciative

I’m in the French Quarter right now

I wish you were here to view this brave new racial harmony world folks like you have forced on us down here

Man there are parts of town I’d like to take you to ..,,after dark

Let’s try some of that bash Dixie rhetoric On the locals west of Rampart st

See if it saves our lives for just being there

How many millions of whites murdered and raped by blacks the past 40 years

Was it because of the flag?

Will banning the flag stop that genocide?

If so you might get me on board after all

A safer world for my daughters

I suspect Roof would have had his point made that “you people” are taking over.

The South will find itself in the position of the Scots after Culloden (Bonnie Prince Charlie). All symbols of our culture will be illegal.

The entire liberal mob —there is no difference between them and the Taliban. Both attempt to destroy the history of the nation they control. If not by blowing to kingdom-come the stone images in a mountain side, destroying the ancient Egyptian library, they will attempt to destroy the history of this once-great nation. Those who lost ancestors in this conflict of the ‘Confederate flag’ are heart broken that they might lose a piece of themselves. Brothers fought one another under this flag. Must we fight again in order to keep it?

I was talking to some black members of my church yesterday. The conversation was about vacations and wandering into the wrong parts of a strange town, particularly after dark. Even they think parts of New Orleans or South Side Chicago is downright scary.

"Republican state Rep. Doug Brannon plans to introduce a bill to remove the flag, which he acknowledges will likely cost him re-election, reports CBS News' Adriana Diaz."

So in this (supposedly) representative form of government, why would you do such a thing? Aren't you supposed to represent the will of your constituents, and not your personal opinion????

‘Detroit Doug’ Brannon is an out-of-state carpetbagger from Michigan, lecturing the good people of South Carolina on their flag and history.

http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/22/politics/lindsey-graham-confederate-flag-come-down/

RINO Graham and worthless RINO Romney supporting Nikki Haley should be ashamed of themselves. Hopefully this is remembered come election time. If the legislature votes for it to come down, it is because of one reason and one reason only. They are scared there will be race riots over the state. Makes me sick to my stomach. But let me tell you if the flag comes down, that will not be enough for the haters. They will call for it to be illegal to fly a Confederate flag in public anywhere. They want it a hate crime to fly the flag in public. Only place you’ll be able to honor your GG grandma’s service will be by hanging a flag on your wall at home.

Exactly right...willingly, by suicide.

“I’m “outraged” and “offended” by the homosexual “rainbow” flag. It has absolutely NO HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE. When is that crap going to be taken down and banned? It’s nothing but a billboard advertising sicko porn and a recruiting tool for a sicko culture.”

I don’t think the rainbow flag is flying over state buildings.
