In 2015, after a prolonged battle in the courts and the national media, the Confederate Battle Flag was lowered for the last time at a monument on state property in Columbia, South Carolina. At the time it was hailed as a glorious victory for the SJW and a very sad day for many southerners. Now, less than two years later a different version of the flag is back up again, but at a different location.

The Confederate battle flag is going back up at a monument in a northwestern South Carolina town.

Luther Lyle had maintained the memorial in Walhalla for years and had replaced the Confederate flag with a South Carolina flag in 2015, about the time the Confederate flag was taken down from the Statehouse following the Charleston church shootings.

In Georgia, it is everywhere. Great symbol of a cultural difference. Hated by the cultural marxists of course.

Didn’t Freud say, “sometimes a flag is just a flag”?

I fly the confederate battle flag here in western Maryland for a number of reasons including the exercise of my first amendment right to protest the protesters.

I fly the flag everyday in front of my house and on the front of my truck.Nobody has said a word and they would be wise to keep it that way.

Several groups boycotted the state for 10 years (NCAA, etc.) because of the flag, they said. The flag has been down officially for years, but none of those groups have ever held a championship or other significant event in SC since. I suspect they never intended to go to SC anyway.

I’m fine with that.Under the muzzi occupation of the white hut she was flown upside down for most of the 8 years.

It’s primary characteristic is the Cross of St. Andrew. It explicitly identifies itself as a Christian derived flag, and I think that is part of the reason it is so hated in some circles.

I was very much interested in seeing how she did in her reelection. It looks like we will never know. I was expecting her to lose the next election race.
