"The Confederate Flag Is The Legacy Of Democrats, Not Republicans" was the word put out by Rush Limbaugh

---

Rush was raised in a Yellow Dog Democrat area of Missouri known as Little Dixie. To consider the Confederate flag to be the legacy of Democrats would be natural to him, not spin.

Their going to make the dependents of DEMOCRAT Ernest Frederick "Fritz" Hollings, 76th Governor of the State of South Carolina, 1959 to 1963, very angry.

" In 1962, during his term as Governor, the Confederate battle flag was flown above the SC Statehouse underneath the U.S. and state flags where it would remain for thirty-eight years. In 2000, the state legislature voted to move the flag from above the Statehouse to a Confederate soldiers' monument in front of the building. "

I don’t think this has much to do with Rush’ Mizzou upbringing...he was specifically talking about Fritz Hollings putting the flag up...a Demcorat - and David Beasely removing it from the dome and Nikki Haley removing it from the grounds altogether.

I picked up just this narrow political irony as Rush’ point.

He grew up with family that were leaders in the Republican Party in SE Missouri and regardless of how I see the situation, El Rushbo had “GOP” stamped on his backside at birth, God Bless Him.

I just don’t agree with his blind support of the GOP anymore because Republicans can’t be supported in matters I mentioned in this post.

I’ve listened to him since 1990 and use his name in my screen name, but I don’t follow the ‘party line’ anymore when Republicans cave to the Left.
