After days of dancing around the matter, a score of South Carolina legislators (including the governor and both of its senators) stood united to say the Confederate flag should be removed from the state capitol.
The controversy over the flag renewed after pictures were uncovered of the Charleston church shooter having a Confederate flag license plate. People have argued the kind of hate the flag represents has no place in modern America.
Well, now Walmart is taking action too. According to CNN, the retail giant will no longer sell any merchandise with Confederate flags on them.
A spokesperson explained, “We never want to offend anyone with the products that we offer. We have taken steps to remove all items promoting the confederate flag from our assortment — whether in our stores or on our web site.”
Interesting. Please explain.
Walmart had better quit selling Mexican flags, too.
Sounds like an opportunity for small retailers. If there really is a demand, it will be filled. And sadly, it will be driven to the fringes so that more lunatics can latch on to the idea of being hated and hating right back.
Now I want to get one because of all the hand wringing. I wonder what people would find more offensive these days, the Swastika red-white black flag or the Confederate flag? Personally, the rainbow flag offends me more than the Nazi one. At least the Nazis were straight up about what they believed while the rainbow flag means 'tolerance' for degeneracy and the Gaystapo will prove, in the long run, to be worse than the Gestapo.
Forget that the kid was crazy, forget that his idiot father gave an unstable 21 year old a .45, it was all the flag's fault and when we get rid of the terrible flag, then we'll ban regulate guns.
Now I want to show my Southern California pride, where can I get a stars and bars?
You can still get this:

Seldom go into govtmart. This will give the little guys a chance to sellmore
Because the leading families have to keep everyone in line so they can. keep all of us working for them.
Well, bless their little hearts. They have discovered the way to stop global warming, end hunger, ensure world peace, make peaceful citizens of ISIS and solve all the mysteries of the universe.
Banning the Confederate Battle Flag will do all this and more. Right!
The Appomattox time out is over!
What nonsense. I guess Wal-Mart will censor books and video games on the Civil War.
Chicago Flag.
Chicago; founded by a black, French fur-trader named DuSable; easily the most segregated city in the country; public housing and other programs keep most blacks from ever becoming middle-class; black public schools ensure that most black students will learn nothing of value, but will be indoctrinated in Jeremiah-Wright-style racial hatred - which will keep them segregated from the real world for their entire lives.
Looks like if I want Confederate flag merchandise, I’ll have to buy it at gas stations in Mississippi and Alabama.
Today the Confederate Flag.
Tomorrow the American Flag.
To be replaced by the UN "Global Citizen" Flag. 
After the Son of Sam killings stores banned the sale or display of dogs.
It just makes sense...
Do you keep up with what’s going on in Chicago?
High School Graduation in Chicago:
Darqueeze played high school football in Detroit. He was a great running back, but a really poor student. At graduation, he didn’t have enough credits. But he was a great football star and the students held a rally and demanded the principal give him a diploma anyway. They were so insistent that the principal agreed that if Darqueeze could answer one question correctly he would give him a diploma.
The one question test was held in the auditorium and all the students packed the place. It was standing room only.
The principal was on the stage and told him to come up. Diploma in hand, the principal said: “Darqueeze, if you can answer this one question correctly I’ll give you your diploma.”
“Darqueeze, how much is three times seven?”
Darqueeze looked up at the ceiling and then down at his shoes, pondering the question.
The other students began chanting, “Graduate him anyway! Graduate him anyway!”
Then Darqueez held up his hand and the auditorium became silent. He said, “I think I know the answer. Three times seven is twenty-one.”
A hush fell over the auditorium and then all the other students began to chant: .................
“Give him another chance! Give him another chance!”
