COLUMBIA, South Carolina — The Confederate flag has been temporarily removed from in front of the South Carolina Statehouse.

An unidentified black woman was about halfway up the more than 30-foot steel flagpole just after dawn Saturday when State Capitol police told her to come down. Instead, she continued up and removed the flag before returning to the ground.

[See what you started, Nikki?]

When she advocated the flag removal, it was with true sadness and tears about the shootings but the left wing activists was and is determined to not let a Republican be the leader of their decades long cause to bring it down.

Is the USA the only country suffering from collective mania? People acting purely out of irrational shallow emotion?

I don't know if we're the only ones doing it but we seem to do it better than anyone else.

We are surrounded by the evidence that closing state mental hospitals back in the 70’s was a mistake.

Is this supposed to be another ‘Rosa Parks’ moment?

There is one off I-75, another off I-10 and off I-95, but I have a smaller one which will go on a pals land for all to see. The bug flags have been pad and put up by flags around FL group.
That one in Tampa is the biggest battle flag in the world to have flown.

I assume the private property owners can shoot them if they try

Should you do that, and should the shootee be a protected minority, you may also assume you will be spending a great deal of time incarcerated...

depending, of course, on what the shootee is doing on your property...

That was probably more effort than she’s put out in the last year.

“When she advocated the flag removal, it was with true sadness and tears about the shootings...”

Which means what exactly?

That since Haley makes decisions based on emotion rather than conviction and serious thought she should get a pass?

Nice try, but there is no excuse for her despicable actions. She’s not worthy to clean the toilets in the SC Statehouse, much less hold a position of responsibility. And apparently never was worthy.

What better example to illustrate the difference between liberalism (aka progressiveness, leftism, socialism, communism, marxism) and conservatism than this act of derring-do by this female Sir Edmund Hillary.

Conservatives OBSERVE LAWS prohibiting these dangerous stunts on public property, liberals relish BREAKING THE LAW (aka if it feels good, just go do it).

In this case, the stern or lenient wheels of local justice will handle this woman's case, but the wheels still will be costly to taxpayers and the costs will be extracted from them by force of law.

In essence, we taxpayers are involuntarily being forced to SUPPORT the exorbitant enforcement and judicial costs of all kinds of ILLEGAL anarchistic fun-and-games through LEGAL confiscation of our own personal dollars....whether the fun-and-games be rioting, looting, arson, traffic tie-ups, sit-ins, personal and public property destruction.....or just plain old flagpole-scaling.

Looks like we'll be financially supporting our own destruction for the rest of our individual lives. To the Left's law-flouting element, there are still many enticing mountains and flagpoles yet to be climbed.

On I-95 in Virginia there’s a very large Confederate Battle Flag flying proud behind some trees. Probably a 50’ pole.

Why is it Leftists do not get upset when they see these other flags flying? They foam at the mouth only over the Confederate Battle Flag, and Nazi flag. Even Italy's Fascist flag gets a pass. Ask a POW from the Pacific campaign what he thinks of the Rising Sun flag.

Shaun King, a “Justice Columnist” at Daily Kos, and buddy of pro race-baiter Deray McKesson, offered a $10,000 “Reward” to the first black person that took down that flag, on Twitter.

He was later forced to remove the tweet, but not before Twitchy found it.

These are the SAME people that offered to pay Ferguson Residents for protesting, and stiffed them.

I want to remove the UN flag everywhere I see it, but I happen to believe in private property rights. If it is not my flag, I don’t get to touch it.

So can I please cut down every UN flag I see? Is that OK now?

The SC flag on the statehouse grounds has no rope and pulley system. I assume to make it harder to do what this woman just did.

So this begs the question. If because some have used the flag for racist purposes, all use of the flag should be banished. If they logic is correct, then can Mosques be closed because some use Mosques for terrorism? Because many Muslims are terrorists, should all Muslims be considered terrorists.

The left has opened this door. Does the country walk through it?
