Certified redneck here :-)
well the Confederates were Democrats so ofcourse they’ll elect a democrat.
With only 3 people voting to keep the flag flying, that could mean an awful lot of turnover next election, or else your read of the situation is wrong. Time will tell.
Don't educated and fair minded Americans want to remember their history?
This is what both flags represent. And we better damn well NOT forget it.
RE: With only 3 people voting to keep the flag flying, that could mean an awful lot of turnover next election,
This of course, assumes that most voters give a damn on this issue.
I suspect they don’t.
Good on you for flying those flags!
Which 2 of the 4 do you have?
I am unimpressed with SC Republican “leaders” and have been for a long time.
Some of the Confederates, like John Tyler, were ex-Whigs.
What a boatload of horse$hit!
This “writer” wants a nation to be Under GOV not Under God.
Weapons and attitudes are the least of his worries as he gets his talking points straight from the pit of hell.
Well, the flag is down.
Some of the crowd was singing “Na,na,na,na..Hey,hey hey, ...goodbye!”
Seriously.
It should have been a solemn, silent ceremony out of the respect for those South Carolinians that died under that flag.
The SC State Police did a very dignified job.
People of SC....please purge your state of these RINO slimes!!!!!!!!!!!
Sick! what's happened to our country?!
For sure. She’ll help the northern liberals turn you into Detroit as she does not respect the culture and way of life of the people she represents. The last thing we need is the South being culturally cleansed by liberals on the coasts who basically hate them.
Same here, and proud of it,
Darn right is was sick.
I could not believe my ears.
That would not have been tolerated in an earlier time.
Thankfully it was all over in about fifteen minutes.
Somehow, my TV survived.
and not even so long ago to boot.....those days are gone gone gone and it looks like we're not going back to them in our lifetimes, if ever.....
Caving to political correctness (Cultural Marxism) is always a losing proposition.
You can never satisfy leftists that way. They always demand more. Caving is interpreted as a sign of weakness, and an assumes that they control the debate.
They never explain why. Just blanket statement like we have to agree with it. What does the flag have to do with insulting? If they were educated, they would understand the meaning...states rights. They all forget the issue and major reason for the Civil War. Or is the real reason Federal freebies to the peasants?
Good to hear, and this is coming from a lifelong northern "yankee" (for the time being). They are sick of hearing about heritage, but many more of us are sick of self anointed authorities taking it upon themselves to define the meaning of symbols for everyone.
I don't know much about the area around the state house in SC, but it would be great to see someone or some group buy a parcel of land nearby and to raise the flag in honor of the history, culture and yes 'Heritage' of the South as big visible F-U to all of those who advocated for and participated in this meaningless farce of removing the flag. I would happily contribute to such an effort.
Ethnic clensing? What did Clinton do to the Serbs for that???
