The confederate flag issue will be tricky for Hillary.

No idea, but it won't be the end of the world either way. The flag never hurt anyone; but then, the war was over a long time ago and the south lost.

Nine Christians are be killed in a Church by a crazed killer and as a result all the media cares about is a historic CSA flag? I have to go digging to learn about the victims because race race race... flag flag flag. This is the most idiotic debate I have seen in years.

Freeping a MSNBC poll is kind of a waste of effort. Only wackos go there.

“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.”

Yeah, they’re saying “Pi$$ on you, we’re here to eff up your state!” They’re like the Mexicans who come here to CA illegally!

I do give different answers for “will they” and “should they”.

Exactly. It’s a banner created by Democrats for Democrats, let them decide what to do with it. The only reason it’s an issue right now is the 2016 election- the Dems’ only chance to win is if they can get our voters disappointed or exasperated enough to sit home. And to do that they will need a bunch of these stupid little controversies...death by a thousand cuts.

“But notice how NO ONE in congress or the senate are saying a word about this.”

Because they are all for removing the flag. They are all the same party.

I sense a bit of cognitive dissonance in Free Republic land. On the one hand, we have you and others saying it was “created by Democrats for Democrats.” On the other hand, we have oodles of freepers screaming about sellouts, and reactionaries, and blah blah blah. Are these freepers closet Democrats expressing their true feelings?

Some else prior on this thread said it best. The flag was raised on the 60’s by Democrats to stir racial animosity. If I was one of those it was intended to piss off, and several of my type just got murdered by some monster who was previously pictured waving said flag around, I might have a strong opinion on the subject as well. In light of recent events, I’d hardly call it a “stupid little controversy”.

Only they weren’t killed because they were Christians, were they.

“the SC legislature is Republican.”

It was put on the state house by a Democrat Gov and Democrat House.

It’s their problem, not ours.

"Only they weren’t killed because they were Christians, were they."

Nope.

But if 9 people were killed while attending class on campus I would call them "students", or in a store I may say "shoppers".

We know why they are here: our welfare lines are shorter than theirs. They are 30-somethings with bad kids, pink hair, loud foul mouths and rude drivers.
(most, not all)
Left Fl 35 years ago to get away from them.

MSNBC crap poll. Have at it. The legislature will vote to remove the battle flag because of PC cowardice.

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. (multiple votes using multiple internetz devices are allowed!) And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)
