All righty, I’ll chime in on this because I think I’ve managed to get in before it becomes a rehash of the War of Northern Aggression.

The Confederate Battle Flag does not belong above the dome of the state capitol. I have no problem with it flying over a Confederate memorial on the capitol grounds, where it is a historical symbol in its historical context. That is precisely the compromise struck a few years ago, and everyone seems fine with it until someone tries to stir the s—t every couple years.

I don’t live or vote in South Carolina, and I believe that is their choice. So my opinion is worth every penny it cost you.

I have to assume any compromise would be voted upon and made into law in order to enforce it.
Was it made into law? if so, it's not quite that simple to stir it up.
If not, then there really was never a compromise in that any agreement had no way of being enforced.

IMHO, As long as the Confederate flag is not flown above Ol' Glory, It isn't none of my business where South Carolinians (or any other) care to fly it.

Dixie has proved more than faithful, with the blood of her sons in the balance. More power to her.

This has actually never been a racial issue. The Confederate flag only became a cause celebre when Political Correctness (ie: Socialism) began becoming established in the U.S. The PC peeps (Socialists) hate the presence of any potent symbol of rebellion -- or even disagreement -- with the State.

Why don't you bother to mention who's doing the stirring ROE? since the compromise

NAACP, Dems etc...

That's the problem, they are like the proverbial camel's nose in the tent.

So whose side are you on in that case?

Excuse me, Huckster might be a sorry Populist but he's hardly as indecent a character as Al Sharpton who shoulda gone to jail just over Brawley but didn't for obvious PC reasons (he won't ever go to jail for anything short of dog fighting..lol)

btw...Abbeville Imposter...you are not even from South Carolina as you admitted on another thread so pray tell what do you really know?

answer not much except racial agenda subterfuge on this austere forum is my guess....what group do you posse with here?
