Have The Daughters of The Confederacy or The Sons of The Confederacy (apologies if the names are not right) had any comment on this?

The state government in South Carolina should be spending their time taking down the mass murderers who are still killing thousands of babies in their state, and the judges who are trying to turn us into Sodom. Same goes for all the other states as well.

Definitely not.

I was surprised to read it only came down in 2000, though. That’s a long time to defy and also to disrespect the US flag. I cannot yet verify if it was flown solely, or above the US flag.

Another note - despite lore, apparently the original intention of placing it there was to acknowledge the centennial of the CW. But it stayed up.

Sons of Confederate Veterans, SCV.

I am surprised I have not heard anything from this very active organization.

to please a few with a warped and weak understanding of history

Women made this happen. Idiot women like Jenny Horne, who's disgraceful acting job last night reportedly moved this erasing of history past the goal post.

If the liberals wanted to get an entire portion of the country mad and ready to fight, they’ve done it.

Nonsense. That portion of the country will soon no longer exist. Obama has deliberately moved in hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens and Muslim and African "refugees" into the South, and this week issued a directive forcing the "integration" of those people into every community. The goal is to make even the Deep South as much a Third World cesspool as L.A.

Thanks, Reb. I’ll check their website to see if they’ve got anything to say about this.

It’ll be a hate crime to own one soon. Probably introduced by John Boehner and his band of traitors.

Bullshit. The flag is in a memorial to Confederate soldiers and has nothing to do with the SC State Flag. Next, they will get rid of memorials themselves.

I saw it mostly as just another one of these things that libs wanted to remove from Society, first the Word of God/Prayer in schools,the embracing of abortion and now gay marriage.

Guess it means I will be committing a hate crime then.

The battle flag issue was waged around 15 years ago and it goes ot show the left never gives in for their agenda.
On the other hand we have a bunch of spineless, wimpy, turds who kneel before their left wing masters , instead of fighting them and stopping them.

Hell has anyone heard the GOP , anyone in the GOP mention that the party of slavery, segregation, and the KKK was the Democrat party so should we ban that party to?

You would be amazed at how many blacks in this country have no idea of that fact

“We need a leader”.

Other than Cruz there is no republican running for president that’s worth a warm bucket of spit. And the Jeb Bush controlled establishment will destroy him within the next six months. We are screwed as a nation and there is no doubt in my mind that Hillary Clinton will be the next president. Republicans do something stupid every presidential election and by nominating a democrat-lite and running off reliable voters. That’s what all this stupidity about destroying all things Southern. Democrats know that reliable voters will just stay home again instead of getting out and supporting republican traiters. Republicans have also caved on queer “marriage”. This will cause millions of Christians to stay home. Every bit of this latest garbage about the flag is orchestrated by the democrat party.

Conveniently forgotten, NBF left the KKK a few years later because it became so radical...typical idiot knee-jerk reactionaries...

There’s not been a conservative president that stood on principle since Ronald Reagan. All now are a bunch of clueless cowards that would not know how to win an election if their life depended on it.

This is the result...duh...of our education system and the ensuing stupidity of the masses...
I spoke to a black lady at a church I went to awhile back after we sang “Amazing Grace”. We both got very emotional during the singing as it is a moving song. I mentioned to her that it was composed by a former slave runner Brit white guy and she was stunned. Thought some black preacher wrote it...Cripes.

Spot on post. With Queer marriage and the further destruction of the South, this country is spiraling out of control toward the black hole of irrelevance.

Well the PC tribe has spoken. The Civil War never happened.

Doesn’t mean the locals won’t fight. In this area, it would give more reason to fight. The south (fl excluded) won’t take being invaded like the southwest border states did.

And Obama’s invasion plans are all over the country, not just the south. However, more southern cities rejected his invasion of ‘minors’ than did any other region.
