Whoa: this is how the slain pastor felt about the Confederate flag (Voted FOR the Flag Display!)

Matthew 5:9 says “Blessed are the peacemakers” and it would appear Pastor Clementa Pinckney was definitely one of those.

While the mainstream media is decrying the fact that the Charleston shooting victim’s body was carried past a Confederate flag today, the good pastor may not have found it all that offensive.

In 2000, during his first term in the South Carolina State Senate, Pinckney actually voted in favor of H5028, the May 2000 compromise which placed the flag at its current location.

H5028 related to THE PERMANENT PLACEMENT OF THE UNITED STATES FLAG, THE SOUTH CAROLINA STATE FLAG, AND THE SOUTH CAROLINA INFANTRY BATTLE FLAG OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA

O goodness... I think he is too pretty for a quick death.. Send him to prison, drag it out and keep him pretty there. I know that is truly un- Christian of me and I bet the pastor would not agree... Isn’t their an apartheid system in the prison he cold work on?

I have strong objections to the idea that someone in the custody of State Authorities should be subjected to assaults by others, sexual or otherwise.

I think it is completely inappropriate for Officials of state governments to allow people under their control to come to harm. State officials have a responsibility to protect helpless people under their control, even if these people are scum.

No, we'd have one dead hatemonger. The Gang bangers would have killed him pretty quick.

Today, all the headlines are about the WH heckler and the usurper saying it was HIS house. There were 6 stories on this at yahoo this morning. That “WH news producer” had nothing of importance to share so when with a rant that someone dissed his boss.

"Whitey" would not give a tinker's D@mn that some psychotic nitwit went to the hood to start trouble and got his ass shot off.

Voting “no” would have led to the flag remaining at it’s original location so I presume everyone in favor of removing the flag entirely voted “yes”.
