How often do South Carolina politicians go to Albany, NY, and tell the citizens of New York how to run the affairs of New York state?

[PeskyOne]

"I personally would like to see it removed from the Statehouse grounds," the New York senator said during her first trip to the early voting state since announcing her White House bid.

I personally would be happy if I never had to see another picture of Hillary Clinton, never hear her militant screeching, and never hear another word about her. I would be happy if she would keep her arse out of South Carolina, and I would be happier if she moved to another continent and left the United States alone!

Hey - at least she's being consistent - always out to "take" something from somebody

"Many of you are well enough off that ... the tax cuts may have helped you," Sen. Clinton said. "We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

The Democrats know what needs to be done. Again, we're working to try to push this agenda forward. The other day the oil companies reported the highest profits in the history of the world. (Laughter.) I want to take those profits and I want to put them into a strategic energy fund that will begin to find alternative smart energy, alternatives and technologies that will begin to actually move us toward the direction of independence! (Cheers, applause.)

[harpo11]

Ah geez, the old biddy bossy buns broom rider certainly is full of imperical dictates. Is it a wonder dear husband Bill runs off with other women just to get away from this fuddy dud nag?

[jragan2001]

Take a lesson from your loser predecessors Miss Hillary-like Gore and Kerry, you will NOT win without carrying the South.

[jragan2001]

Bad enough that she proclaimed herself a Yankees Fan....

SHEEESHH!!!!

[jragan2001]

As your neighbor in Georgia, I second your statement. Great to see both SC and Georgia swing more conservative in the last couple of decades. To this day, I give a lot of the credit to the Southern Conservative movement to the late Carroll Campbell, your Former Governor whose two terms in office gave Republicans in the South a lot of hope.

She has every reason to dislike that flag, if she gets elected the South is going to rise again.

During his 12-year tenure, Governor Bill Clinton never approved a state civil-rights law. However, he did issue birthday proclamations honoring Confederate leaders Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee. He also signed Act 116 in 1987. That statute reconfirmed that the star directly above the word "Arkansas" in the state flag "is to commemorate the Confederate States of America." Arkansas also observed Confederate Flag Day every year Clinton served. The governor's silence was consent.

The National and State Flag of South Carolina

Colonel William Moultrie was asked by the Revolutionary Council of Safety in the fall of 1775 to design a flag for the use of South Carolina troops in preparation for the hostilities with England. He chose a blue that was the color of the Carolina soldiers uniforms and a crescent moon that matched the emblem worn on the front of their caps.

On March 26, 1776 in Charleston, the Second Provincial Congress of South Carolina set up an independent government, ending British rule in the colony and elected John Rutledge as President. It reconvened the same day as the South Carolina General Assembly.

Years later, on December 20, 1860, when South Carolina again declared its right of Independence, this time from the Federal Union, a national flag was needed. The General Assembly considered a wide range of designs and on January 28, 1861 added the palmetto tree to Col. Moultrie's original Revolutionary War flag. The tree symbolized the colonial victory of Sullivan's Island palmetto-log fort against the British in June 1776 and the new design became the National Flag of the Republic of South Carolina.

ELIAS JEANERETTE is listed on the roster of American troops who served during the Revolutionary War at Fort Sullivan, which was later re-named Fort Moultrie. He enlisted in Georgetown in 1776 and was a Sergeant in the 4th South Carolina Regiment of Artillery, commanded by Col Beekman, in the Company of Capt James Mitchell. Elias was later wounded in the battle of Stono, and was taken as a prisoner of war when Charleston was captured by the British in May 1780. The father of twenty-six children, Elias died in 1833 in North Carolina.

Samuel Thomas Jenerette, Elias and Margaret's youngest son, served in the Confederate Army during the War of Southern Independence in Company "B" Manigault's Battalion of South Carolina Artillery and Samuel's oldest son, Wilson, who served with the 14th South Carolina Volunteer Infantry was captured by the Federals in battle and died in Point Lookout prisoner of war camp in Maryland on September 8, 1862. Wilson was 16 years-old when he enlisted; he was born in Horry County April 11, 1845.

The Jenerette family has a long history of service to South Carolina and to our nation, from the American Revolution thru the Persian Gulf War. Our flag's history is an important part of our family and our heritiage.

Van Jenerette, Major, Infantry, U.S.Army; is Samuel Thomas Jenerette's great-great-grandson. Van and Katherine's youngest child born August 1, 2001 is named Wilson Jenerette. Katherine, a U.S. Army veteran served in the Persian Gulf War.
