If the poll also showed "a slim majority" supporting removing the flag from state property nationally, it must mean a majority in South Carolina want the flag to remain.
It’s a symbol of rebellion against the Feds.
Nice when someone rolls out the truth weeks later after the damage has been done.
I'm not blaming this entity for this, but where's our rapid response team?
Don’t worry the MSM will do what it can to sway the masses of sheep
Intentions no longer matter. Next to be labeled “hate” will be all Christian symbols. Wonder if Walmart, Amazon and all will ban all but liberal Christian materials, too.
I am not trying to say the Confederate flag is good or bad. I do think the banning of it is a dangerous sign of things to come, given that the left equates Christianity with hate in the same way. Already leftist groups like the ACLU refuse to support even the Religious Freedom legislation after the Supremes gave preferred legal standing to homosexuals. Look for the “hate group” label to radically expand.
We have the blind, mushy, fearful middle to thank for this.
I bought my first Confederate flag this week, and I am not even from the South.

That's how I've always seen it.
” as symbol of pride, not hate “
Absolutely ! unquenchable pride

It’s Heritage.
Well your candidate Mitt Walker disagrees with you. He wants to see the Confederate flag go bye bye. I just want to see Walker go bye bye.
What is Southern pride anyway? What is Southern heritage? For whites I get it was good for them not so much for blacks who were prevented from being educated by state law, they were property to be sold and abused if their owner wanted too.
The Confederate Constitution didn’t embrace liberty for all. It did embrace slaveowners right to get his slaves.
“Majority of Americans see Confederate flag as symbol of pride, not hate”
That’s the problem. This government could care less what Americans think. Now if they were french, arabs or illegals... the flag would be here forever (by executive order)
Because it was under threat of questioning and possible impeachment proceedings by its so called political opposition the regime started this war. It was through the use of racial division. It created persons engaged felonious assults on authority who were black youths into a victim of an evil society (thus approving their actions) out of whole cloth.
The regime began with the Zimmerman case which led to a series of assults by black youths on completely innocent whites,”hispanics”, and asians who were either targeted or wandered near or through black gang infested areas. The perpetators excuse; The reported “cold blood killing of Treyvon Martin because he was black”
It led to a score or more deaths and serious injuries. And it was met with silence while this was happening. Neither the locqatious POTUS or his political opposition uttered as much as a “Now!,Now! or a “tsk!,tsk!”
Those killings were referenced by the Charleston Church massacre perpetrator in his crazed manifesto.

“Well we can’t let that out. Oh ! His face book has him holding a Confederate battle flag that must be his excuse “The Confederates made him do this horrible act ! Let’s get them
Thanks to the PC police, the Confederate flag has much more importance today than it did two weeks ago. It has been reborn as a symbol of anti-elitism.
I guess I’m going to have to give Cooter a piece of my mind. I ordered some Confederate stuff on the day of the SC fag ruling and still ain’t got it yet.
Walker made another bad hire with Brad Dayspring.
Who cares what the majority believes or wants - it’s what the latest favored martyred minority thinks that counts.....
