In my opinion, it is totally inappropriate for a newcomer into America to accept the benefits of being here, and then trash the descendants of the Founders; totally inappropriate. That does not mean he can not have opinions on various subjects; but it really is not debatable that the ongoing purpose of our Constitutional Federation was the common defense & enduring liberty of the Founders' posterity.

I always thought Nikki Haley should have punted on the Flag Controversy. It was unseemly for her as a first generation immigrant to speak on this subject while having no stake in that history.

If the descendants of the South Carolinians who fought in that war have decided to put that symbol behind them, that is one thing, but for someone who was not part of that history to toss it aside, was arrogantly presumptuous in my opinion.

I really wanted to see if the Voters were going to do anything about this, but She left before she would have to stand for their judgement.

Agreed! The Left’s control of the academy & Media has made it very easy to act inappropriately; but disrespect for other people’s heritage, is not a virtue—to put it very mildly.
