Whoa: this is how the slain pastor felt about the Confederate flag (Voted FOR the Flag Display!)

Matthew 5:9 says “Blessed are the peacemakers” and it would appear Pastor Clementa Pinckney was definitely one of those.

While the mainstream media is decrying the fact that the Charleston shooting victim’s body was carried past a Confederate flag today, the good pastor may not have found it all that offensive.

In 2000, during his first term in the South Carolina State Senate, Pinckney actually voted in favor of H5028, the May 2000 compromise which placed the flag at its current location.

H5028 related to THE PERMANENT PLACEMENT OF THE UNITED STATES FLAG, THE SOUTH CAROLINA STATE FLAG, AND THE SOUTH CAROLINA INFANTRY BATTLE FLAG OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA

I wonder if anyone has told the screamers of the Left-Wing Media, and the Obamunists about this?

I think a far more fitting memorial to the loss of these good Christian people would be a revival unifying this nation through faith in God.

Facts have been left behind by the media now. They saw how they got away with their lies for decades and especially with Clinton,. They then pushed it even further for bozo the clown.

I’ll bet you a cent to a dollar that the media were instructed from someone in the white house to push these lies and agenda.

(speaking of Roof)
I wish that weasely sonofabitch had tried to take out some gang bangers instead of innocent and decent church people, but it is a measure of how much a piece of human garbage he is that he only attacked the weak instead of people who could have fought back and probably handed him his @$$.

Yeah, "big warrior wanting to start a race war" picks on women and men of God instead of the actual miscreants from which he gets his false outrage.

He is scum and a coward, and he needs to be put to death quickly.

That’s true, but after the attack on the church, there’s no way that flag could have continued over the statehouse without just giving leftists more ammunition.

True.

Only leftists are allowed to attack a church.

How about remembrance of Christ, for that matter.

The Left sure is on a roll! Now they want to destroy STONE MOUNTAIN.
Even some of their own are beginning to tire of the foam-at-the-mouth crowd.

But would he have been a hero to you had he actually picked out some random ghetto dwellers instead?

I have looked over his voting record in the SC Senate ... he voted "for" almost everything that was brought up. It's amazing. The ONLY thing he seems to have opposed was a "Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act".

So you think they might not actually be leftists?

Do you not know what is a "Gang Banger"?

Google it for crying out loud!
