True, and then Republican David Beasely moved it off the top of the capitol to just a spot on the grounds. It is part of SC history, it deserves a spot on the grounds.

Former Gov. David Beasley, a Republican called for the flag to be removed from atop the Capitol dome, where it once flew. Mr. Beasley’s effort won him little black support and a backlash from some Demorats in his losing bid for re-election in 1998.

well, that is true.....he also picked a fight with video poker games, who have a big lobby in SC, and that also cost him.

But that’s beside the point...which is that a Democrat put it on top of the dome and a Republican took it off the dome.
