The Board of Visitors at the Citadel voted Tuesday night to remove the Confederate Naval Jack from its chapel on campus.

The vote was 9-3 in favor of removing the flag from Summerall Chapel.

A Citadel spokesperson says the school needs the General Assembly's permission to remove the flag.

According to Citadel officials, the flag was presented to the military college in 1939. The removal of the flag will be done in accordance with the Heritage Act, the spokesperson said.

This is so much proof of what poor choices Republican primary voters keep on making in contest after contest.

No matter what truths you reveal, the American people just can’t figure them out.

Remember the little girl in either 1968 or 1969 who held up a home-made “Bring Us Together” sign as Richard M. Nixon came to that town. Nixon moved far to the left in his administration and should not have been the 1968 nominee. He was trying to please northern liberals, who eventually forced him from office.

Enemies from within: that is something the American people have never believed existed.

We have a real problem with divisions among ourselves & “handlers”.

This is so widespread (these “removals”). It’s beginning to creep me out- like there was a “memo” or something.

Or the Bible. Either way they will both be banned. Now we see how quickly it will happen.

And that we’ll do nothing but sit and watch it happen.

Leland Summers, our Commander, South Carolina Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans and a few staff are going to hold a press conference this morning at 11AM at the State Capitol in Columbia. We have a modest six-figure amount in our account. Southern Poverty Law Center has $243 million. Arrayed against us are most of our former supporters in the Republican Party at the state and national level, most of our former friends in the so-called conservative media and all branches of the federal government, especially the permanent bureaucracies like the IRS.

We’ve got ‘em right where we want ‘em.

Deo vindice!
