Naw, but they love y’all up here. If Maine wasn’t part of New England, it would be in the Ozarks.

The SC Confederate memorial was itself a compromise to the Left. They bitched about the flag being on the state capitol building, so an agreement was made for the memorial.

Just goes to show you, it's never enough with the Left.

You just cannot compromise with the communists and that is truly what they are.

Oh, come on. If you gave that name to a black character in a dystopian white-power novel, you would be accused of parody. . . There is much to understand about people.

People are tired of their lives being altered by loud mouthed arrogant self-important minorities. They’re sick of eing told what they should say and what they should think. A big upraised middle finger to dee revin (lying SOS) Al and dee revin (shake down whitey) Jesse and all of the black manufactured grievance industry

Do not have much admiration for SC since that was where this all started back in Civil War Days. Over 600,000 American lives lost is a tragedy. That being said, this flag issue is a misdirected effort on behalf of those who are on a forced march to destroy this country. It is another wedge issue they will shamelessly use to degrade the fabric of America in order to destroy it. There are many offensive items and concepts around us constantly. Most of us deal with that in an educated and mature manner. Evil doers utilize emotion and hysteria. We must, and will use logic and reason.That is our dilemma.

You’ve got remember the Civil War generation was not very far removed from the Revolution. The South foresaw the onset of a strong centralized govt......just like the one they had fought a generation ago.

The view from a large part of the South was....”We just fought against a strong govt....telling us what to do, taxing us, etc.....and now we are setting up the same thing....no thanks”

Anyway, that is the way it was taught to me.

Flag haters are RACIST and need an education especially when you talk about South Carolina. We love our family Confederate Hero Veterans. Those killed and those wounded.

Confederate Soldiers are American Veterans by Act of Congress

I honor A L L Veterans of A L L wars.
Especially my family’s Confederate War Heroes that were killed or wounded.
Fly the flag high and proud.

Hurts someones feeling? To dam bad.

It never sleeps and eternal vigilance is required. Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice.

You were taught correctly and I teach mine the same way. Battle flag is all that flies here from now on.
