Romney, Thompson criticize Confederate flag
CNN ^ | 11-28-2007 | – CNN South Carolina Producer Peter Hamby

Posted on 11/28/2007 8:28:48 PM PST by Eddie01

COLUMBIA, South Carolina (CNN) – Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Sen. Fred Thompson of Tennessee criticized the Confederate flag, which happens to be hoisted on the Statehouse grounds in the early primary state of South Carolina.

[snip]

Both candidates are front-runners in South Carolina. Both may have to answer questions about those comments next time they hit the state.

sadly, i have to say that you are 100% correct. fyi, "the border state" to our immediate north is planning to have a Spanish-speaking judge/clerk at each polling place to "assist non-English-speaking voters in casting their ballot"!!!

fwiw, i feel as follows:

1.cannot read the ballot because of "literacy problems" = do NOT vote

&

2.cannot speak/read/write the English language well enough to read the ballot = do NOT vote.

btw, i have TWO lovely (adopted) daughters. one is from Turkey;the other is from Mexico. BOTH feel as i do about "speaking English in America". (further, "my little Latina" DESPISES those who "came in under the fence" from the south. "N____" can be "downright hostile" toward "wets"!)

Don’t you think that any “country”, after being shown mercy at the surrender table, after losing a war, violates the unwritten laws of common courtesy by continuing to fly their battle flag ?...And over the heads of many of those they oppressed ?

In my opinion, your duty exceeds your rights in this manner. Christian love and the continued forgiveness of you countrymen demands humility in this matter.

reference a SECOND WBTS = should it come to that, look for "The Commonwealth of TAXatuecetts" to field the "Barney Frank Guards" in PINK uniforms & the "Teddy Kennedy Cape Cod Orcas" (they won't last long, as they'll go into the water at the first bridge they cross.).

CA will likely send "the Holly-WIERD Pansy Brigade"

and NY, "The Saint Jane Fonda Rangers" & the "Nambla Artillery".

at least our lads will die LAUGHING!!!

i've said that for a LONG time. we southrons live in "a different republic" than that desired/longed for by the left/the northeast/the LEFT-coast.

it is my contention that what we southrons really need is a "no fault divorce".

it is further my belief that the rest of the current country would be MUCH happier if we were "across an international border". they could have the sort of imperialist, intrusive, cradle-to-grave SOCIALIST/FASCIST NANNYstate that they seem to want "up there" AND

we would be FREE AT LAST. THANK GOD ALMIGHTY, FREE AT LAST!

actually the "HIV/AIDS capitol" is the same city as "America's MURDER Capitol" = i.e., Washington, DC.

according to a 2006/7 report by the Howard University School of Medicine, about 25% of DC residents (@ 200,ooo +/- a few thousand patients) are LIKELY HIV-positive!!!! (be REALLY careful, if you should visit DC!)

First, try to make a racial term of that.

Second, since you can't -- go away, Nanny.

Damn, don't you ever get tired of lying? The HIV rate is about 4% not 25%, and the total is about 25,000 and not 200,000.

don't you get tired of TRYING to DECEIVE the naive/ignorant/clue-LESS readers with your half-truths,"out of context" quotes,diversions, "changes of subject", DAMNyankee propaganda & outright KNOWING lies???

the LIKELY RATE (you do know what the word,LIKELY, means, don't you???) is precisely what HUSM's report said that it is. if you don't like what the report said, go call the medical school & tell them that they're STUPID/ignorant/don't know what they are talking about.

in the meantime, i'll keep reminding our readers here that your comments are BILGE & SELF-serving nonsense.

I have absolutely no idea why we’re worrying about a flag that hasn’t had relevance for over 150 years. Note to all: give it a rest!!! Nobody cares.

Why don't you provide a link to that study so we can read what it says for ourselves rather than take your word for it?

You mean the documentary proof that you had someone banned because they were embarrassing you?

fwiw, you are thought to be BRIGHTER than the rest of the members of "the DAMNyankee coven", but NO more HONEST.

thus you are getting the same UNSAVORY reputation as the rest of the HATE-filled, arrogantly ignorant BOZOS, that you "lead". (there's an "old saying" about "lying down with dogs----".)

Seriously, what "documentary proof" do you think exists in this sort of case? Do you think someone gets a registered letter from FR informing them of the reason they've been banned? From what I understand, you just try to log on and get a "this account has been banned or suspended" message.

Now, do you actually have some documentation of your "Howard University study" claim, or are we expected to just take your word for the fact that 25% of the people in DC are HIV+? Or is it going to be like the El Paso Thanksgiving question, the "Yachts Against Subs" question, the Wirz hanging question and all those other transparently false claims that you've made and refused to support over the years?
