Six Flags Over Texas will remove the Confederate States of America flag from its lineup, and fly only U.S. flags, the company told mySA.com Friday morning following backlash earlier this week.

~snip~

The company flipped its decision Friday morning saying they strive to "make people happy and to create a fun, thrilling and safe family friendly experience for our guests."
"We always choose to focus on celebrating the things that unite us versus those that divide us. As such, we have changed the flag displays in our parks to feature American flags," the park said in a statement.

Posted here a few hours ago, anyway.

That article probably got them a bunch of out-of-state phone calls demanding they take it down.

They should add a white flag for their surrendering.

I wonder what Soros-funded war room came up with the statue destroying plan?

Get people fighting against each other. War in the streets. Blame Trump for the chaos.

On cue here come the RINOs (Romney etc.) to condemn Trump.

This all seems orchestrated and Dems believe it’s a ‘winning issue’ for them.

Turns out on 27% of Americans even want the statues removed.

Mount Rushmore, Jefferson Memorial. Leftists have overplayed their hand - as usual - and we’re about to see the backlash.

The sixth flag is the white flag, is it?

So will they also bulldoze the section of the park that was represented by the Confederate flag?

It’s the good guys who should be demanding ALL of the CW Parks be closed. Towns like Vicksburg survive off revenue based on the CW.

Five Flags over Texas!

Or they could just use the actual Confederate flag (assuming that's not the one they took down); most people don't know what it is.

Are the leftist commies going to demand that the 11 states that were the CSA be kicked out of the Union?

I'll risk quoting from Joel Chandler Harris here:

“Skin me, Brer Fox, snatch out my eyeballs, tear out my ears by the roots, and cut off my legs,” said Brer Rabbit. “Only please, Brer Fox, please don’t throw me into the briar patch.”

Yup.
