Yes, she did vote to remove the Confederate flag. I disagreed with that.
If you delve into her speeches, her main reasoning is that the United States is what should be preeminent, not the flag of a nation that was defeated over 150 years ago. As a child of Indian parents, and a grateful American, she has the mindset that the US should take a backseat to no one (and she included the Confederate flag in that category).
I disagreed with her on this. I think the Confederate flag has a place, and I cannot stand those who wish to erase history, or to the BLM crowd who wants to find a racist under every rock in order to promote their hateful agenda.
I like you SkyPilot, so we are going to disagree about Nikki Haley. She removed the flag because she was craven. And she opened the door to what happened in Memphis. Have a Merry Christmas.
Respectfully, the United States was preeminent in the state of South Carolina. The Battle Flag was removed from it’s place flying above the Capitol dome under the American Fla, POW/MIA flag and the state flag of South Carolina. It was moved to a memorial area on the statehouse grounds at part of a compromise. When the flag came down off the Capitol dome, those of us who are pro history, realized that was a stepping stone to the destruction of our history. As predicted, it didn’t stop there. The radicals used the convenient excuse of the Charleston church shootings to remove it entirely from it’s place of honor. It’s not going to stop there, it will continue until all vestiges of White culture are eliminated from public view in favor of the Hip Hop generation’s world view..
