Wonder if they'll ban all the Mexican, Guatemalan, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Peruvian and Chilean Flags etc etc etc that are dangling from rear-view mirrors in the parking lot?

big corporations in this country have gotten in bed with the radical leftist NAACP and other pressure groups," Bessinger said Thursday in a statement. Say it again, Bessinger, and don't quit saying it. It's so damn true!

Why, did the "Mexican, Guatemalan, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Peruvian and Chilean Flags etc etc etc" governments commit treason?

Why, did the "Mexican, Guatemalan, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Peruvian and Chilean Flags etc etc etc" governments commit treason? Nope, they didn't. Nor did they suspend the United States Constituiton to make warfighting more convenient.

"Both the flag and Maurice Bessinger are divisive issues," said Scana spokeswoman Cathy Love. "For us to continue to be successful, we must have healthy, collaborative relationships with customers and co-workers. Divisive activities that disrupt harmony in the workplace are bad for business."it's a free country and scana can do as it pleases. businesses that take political issues to heart usually have interesting tales to tell.
just ask k-mart.

Local utilities are monopolies... SCANA is a holding company that owns SCE&G which is a local utility in many places...
Private property rights are a concern here... but aren't personally owned vehicles private property?

"Bessinger also has drawn criticism for replacing the U.S. flag at his restaurants with the Confederate flag."
Well screw him then. Must be friends with Osama. Why not put the flag of Iraq or the swastika up? They both fought against the United States and killed loyal citizens of it too.
BUT - this is America and he can fly whatever flag he wants. And companies can tell their employees not to go there too.
To: PJeffQ
**Love said Scana employees can eat at Bessinger's during their lunch hour. But they'll be expected to park company vehicles off the restaurants' property. Vehicles can go on the property if Bessinger's restaurants have electrical service problems, she said.**
Well that's mighty white of them...
To: TheSpottedOwl
They have people doing work for SCANA who drive vehicles that appear to be their own with contractor magnets on the door and rear... I wonder if it applies to them as terms of their contract?

How come rebel flag waving rednecks don't fly the LAST flag to fly over the confederacy....you know, the solid white one?
To: PJeffQ
I think SCANA is being ridiculous. The nerve of them saying that in case of a power outage they'll show up. Damn straight they'll show up, they're a monopoly and Berringer's BBQ restaurants, like the rest of the population, doesn't have a choice on who they get their utilities from.
Far as the independent contractors go, they can yank those magnets off their vehicles and go chow down :)
To: TheSpottedOwl
Oooops Berringers=Bessingers....
To: Diverdogz
Good one - I never thought of that. It must be where the Klan got the inspiration for their garb.
To: pittsburgh gop guy
Why not put the flag of Iraq or the swastika up?
Because those flags are not historical AMERICAN flags.
To: pittsburgh gop guy
And companies can tell their employees not to go there too. Private companies can. Scana appears to be a regulated monopoly. Grey area there.
