This is an artificially ginned up uproar. The Dixie flag is the latest shiny object.
When is the Black memorial created to “offset” it also being removed?
Shouldn’t they outlaw the Democrat party while they’re at it?

Tomorrow the Gadsden Flag. And then the Cross.
That was a mere pawn in this game.
Flags and fags keep everyone looking away...

We on a slippery slope of sanitizing America’s history. You are correct, the Cross and any public display of our nation’s Judeo-Christian heritage are in the cross hairs.

Time to take note who voted for what. A presidential ticket with Nikki Haley as vice will be dead in the water. Nikki Haley career is over.
I don't think the historic standard for citizen-legislators with enough brain cells never to react with knee jerks when there are long lasting and unexpected consequences are defined by these emotional fools.
This is NOT a "problem" that can't wait to receive serious thought. These senators will all be long gone when the bloody consequences of their ignorance rears its ugly head.

Well, it went back UP in Marion County, FL by unanimous vote of the Board of County Commissioners today.
