"If I were a state legislator, I'd vote for it to move off the grounds — out of the state,"

But you're not, so shut up.

Senator Biden also pledged that if he runs for President, he will refuse to accept any electoral votes from South Carolina...
(sarc)

This is why liberals from the NE don't stand a chance. No clue as to what the rest of America deals with.

Let's ignore history and pretend it never existed.

The South stood for state's rights. It is a shame that it took on the moniker of slavery. I wish the South had become a separate country to prove the point that states have more rights than the federal government. To me, the confederate flag stands for that: a great moment lost in time.

"Surrender, Yanquis!" is OK

"Surrender, Yankees!" is not

"Well I hope Plugs Biden will remember"

"A southern man don't need him around anyhow."

When did it become Biden's business what SC does with its flags?

And I would like Joe Biden kept out since he is a reminder of plagerism and bad hair.

Don't these people have anything better to do than

It's telling when a the nation is faced with so many truly important issues the party has nothing better to do than beat this dead old horse.

Sounds just like the republicans with the flag burning issue.

Joe Biden didn't think of it until he plagerised Chris Dodd's speech about the flag.

We sure don't. He can stay up north. We do not need or want his opinion about anything southern.

I hope you are well!

If memory serves, South Carolina was the first state to secede from the Union. I have sincere doubts they'll react more positively to outside interference now.
