The South Carolina Senate gave final approval Tuesday to a bill removing the Confederate flag from a pole in front of the Statehouse, sending the proposal to the House, where it faces a less certain future.
The divisive banner at the Capitol came under greater scrutiny over the last few weeks after authorities said a gunman, motivated by racial hatred, opened fire inside a black church June 17, killing nine people. The suspect was photographed several times holding a Confederate flag and burning an American flag, and one of the slain was state Sen. Clementa Pinckney, who was the head pastor at the church.

........and they all lived happily ever after.
Nikki Haley is a proven coward.
They just used Gay Marriage as an excuse to eviscerate the First and Tenth Amendments. Slight of hand Tyranny.
Blackmail from the Feds and the Rats, works every time.
Well if something was finally going to get Christians riled up... this was it.
Now the challenge is to be angry, but with the anger of God not of men.
God does not want to see a society polluted in this way, but He also hates for souls to be dragged down to hades both in this life and the next. It has an altruistic character that is an extreme challenge for humanity to comprehend.
At last.....life will be all unicorns and rainbows now.....
Well, it went back UP in Marion County, FL by unanimous vote of the Board of County Commissioners today.

To be honest, I think that most Christians will just turn the other cheek. If this doesn’t get them to the Polls next year, I really wouldn’t be surprised. I keep hoping there is a silent Majority out there, but I just don’t see it.
We have a National case of apathy where People just shrug their shoulders and move on the next impediment of our Freedom. Of course, they are just Lobsters in a Pot of cold water. They have no idea of the impact to our Nation and Society. Empathy rules the day, not the Law.
It’s just another day in Obamaville with Cloward-Piven leading the way with a little Alinsky thrown in to make it interesting.
As for me, I eagerly await the daily Pronouncements from our Dear Leader. LOL
They should curl up in fetal balls on the step of their capitol. Instead .. They will stand for re-election. And win.
No SH*T
The tail keeps waggin the dog.
Then there are not real Christians.
WHY THE REGIME PICKED THE BATTLE FLAG
AND NOT THE MANIFESTO
Because it was under threat of questioning and possible impeachment proceedings by its so called political opposition the regime needed to defer or stop any movement toward this. It was necessary to use a political device usually atrributed to Saul Alinsky but used by the nazi and commie’s like Stalin with the “Kulacks” through racial division. It created persons engaged in felonious assults on authority who were black youths into; “Victims of an evil society” (thus approving their actions) out of whole cloth.
The regime began with the Zimmerman case which resulted in 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.

Naturally when it was discovered that mention of those score of murders were used in this nut cases’s “manifesto” the reaction was....“Well we can’t let that out. Oh ! His face book has him holding a Confederate battle flag, (Which to many is simply an ensign of protest and rebellion), that must be his excuse “The Confederates made him do this horrible act ! Let’s get them !”
The regime is doing a good job of perverting what the battle flag is used for and concealing its complicity in a series of racial incidents the ended in murders.
Or, this could get activists abuzz.
I see it on Facebook, which is, believe it or not, not just one solid amen corner for this nonsense.
My FRiend, I hope you are right and I am wrong.
I guess I’m still looking for a Sign. LOL
Or, weak ones.
I have been attacking this nonsense in explicit terms, and have been honored by being accused of being “obsessed about buggery.” And other taunts about whether a Christian should speak about this.
We got to not let the foes pull the hoods of false shame over our faces. There is a time to be polite and then there is time to call an evil spade an evil spade and explain in form and function why it is an evil spade. And it’s not because we’re out hunting for evil spades, but they are hunting for us.
Well I do see the talk happening. Whether a walk results, only God knows. But it can’t hurt to pray for it.
I am not fooled by these horse doovers.
You bet! I have also let my state rep. know that he will be looking for another job soon. The people of SC don’t play with politicians who mess with our flag.
