Yep , they will and then Mississippi will become the next fight .
I’m offended every time I see a box of saltine crackers. OK, not really. Flags don’t bother me either.
Freeped.
Yes they will. There are so many liberals moving here and bringing their politics with them, that I feel that South Carolina will be majority democrat soon.
I sure hope so. Once the flag is banned all murders will stop. Utopia...

....it’s the P.C. crowd that is bringing on all the crap....
We never used to be this way....we all knew that the confederate flags were around, used to watch the ‘general lee’ car on t.v. and it was fun....
...but then ‘someone’ got their itty bitty feelings hurt and now here we are....well, then leave if it offends you, close your eyes, change the channel, walk on the other side of the street, but to make something hard for other people that is living their lives, working, putting food on the table, taking care of their families, is P.C. CRAP!!!!
South Carolina’s “Old ball coach” is against “that damned flag.” I am now against the “old ball coach”.
Yes
..because “Now is the time” and “we must move forward” and “this represents the past” and “this is not who we are” a bunch of other gooey pablum and horse$hit
Freeped.
OK since everyone is entitled to my opinion :-) I am postulating that the SC legislature will take up the issue and debate it for a week or so until the SCOTUS rules that all 57 states have to accept gay marriage and the outrage moves on. After that you will not hear another word about the confederate flag and we can all go back to loving the CSA in peace.
We’re pretty reactionary, for better of for worse, when attacked from without-our flag may just get a larger share of the vote (app 64%) than it got in 2001.
Same with GA...NY/NJ and non native Floridians.
We only required to have a rear bumper car tag, so they leave their NY/NJ front tag on like its some kind of badge of honor.
We’re like: Thanks for the warning.
But notice how NO ONE in congress or the senate are saying a word about this.
Chickens$*#ts all of them.
Ban the Confederate flag, remove all Confederate monuments, outlaw the Sons of Confederate Veterans, rename all the streets and schools, expunge all remnants of Southern history and require every white person living in a state of the former Confederacy to sign a loyalty oath to the Supreme Federal Government of the United States of America. Then racism will wither away.
We have no representation.
The Democrats raised the Confederate flag to exploit racial animosity, and now wish to lower it to exploit racial animosity.
It’s up to them. Not our issue.
the SC legislature is Republican.
It is a rather large majority required if they wait long enough for the emotion to fade enough legislators will come to their senses and realize there is no justification for burying a historical monument on the account that some racist can’t be bothered to learn what it’s all about.
That is like book burning because you don’t like the cover of a book or what some arrogant lair told you of the book.
Besides if the legislator wants to get rid of reminders of the past that are associated with racism, violence, and murder, they should start with the Actual Slavery memorial on the East side of the Capital. At least there there can be no question of the propose of that memorial.
To those who say it should be moved to a museum. The State Capital grounds ARE a museums filled with monuments and relics placed there that are significant to the history of South Carolina. Of those relics few are more directly applicable and significant than the Civil War monument. After all as the Yankees tell us the Civil War started with an act of the State legislator right there in Columbia.
