As it was then so it is now, the Ku Klux Klan is a branch of the DemonRAT party. And those 'RATs have always embraced the Confederate battle flag.

Sorry Lent, but on this issue I side with Governor Haley. I will concede that the apparent motivation for the flag's removal was ill-timed. As a Republican, she should have had it taken down on her very first day in office. That would have been a principled stance against what the despicable 'RAT Fritz Hollings put there in the first place. In my opinion, Rush Limbaugh got it right today when he made it clear that the Confederate battle flag is 'RAT through and through...always has been, always will be.

You side with Governor Nimrata Randhawa the adulteress slut you mean.

No, the flag is a symbol of defiance against the degenerate scumbags in DC from both parties and their running dogs marxist and plutocrat allies.

Limbaugh?

Surprised you could even hear any content at all, nothing but commercials and the minimal content in between increasingly sucks.

Addendum: I spent a good amount of time searching for any photo with Ronald Reagan posing with a Confederate battle flag. There were none. Without fail, the presidents (or wannabes) associated with that flag were all rats -- KKKarter, KKKlintoon, Woody Wilson, William J. Bryan and so on.

And here in Dallas, when 'RAT JFK was welcomed at Love Field in 1963, there were plenty of those flags flying in support. Likewise along the motorcade. So those are among the reasons why I associate the Confederate battle flag with that "other" party, not with the party of Reagan.

FRiend, we really disagree here. Now, as a native of Indiana, I wouldn't have a dog in the fight except for the fact that I am a citizen of Texas, the Most Hated State in all of liberaldom.

All the People(s) of the Southern States have the same stake in this controversy that South Carolina does, which is to own their heritage intact and inviolate, without the revisions of Obama's little friend Squealer that Orwell showed us in Animal Farm. If people in Mississippi want the Confederate Battle Flag in the canton -- the Union, if you will -- of the Mississippi state flag, as they voted 2:1 in favor of in 2001, then they have a sovereign right so to do. But Obama intends to invade that right, and he has made the gutless Republicans of South Carolina his quarry.

The flying of the CBF at the South Carolina Confederate soldiers' memorial is a sovereign act of the State of South Carolina and may in fact be ultra vires the governor to undo, no matter her motive or her allies. The matter should be settled by the legislature, or by referendum, preferably attached to a recall initiative or two.

The CBF is a symbol of all the People, not a symbol of political convenience, which you appear not to have realized: those soldiers paid for their memorial in the most costly coin tenderable, and to despise them at this late date, and to repudiate the symbols of the old Confederacy for the sake of hopelessly attempting to palliate perpetually discontented complainers and cynical agitators is an act of cowardice that will blacken all who embrace Gov. Haley's moral crayfishing and trepidation.

My two cents.
