"Bessinger also has drawn criticism for replacing the U.S. flag at his restaurants with the Confederate flag."

Well screw him then. Must be friends with Osama. Why not put the flag of Iraq or the swastika up? They both fought against the United States and killed loyal citizens of it too.

BUT - this is America and he can fly whatever flag he wants. And companies can tell their employees not to go there too.

How come rebel flag waving rednecks don't fly the LAST flag to fly over the confederacy....you know, the solid white one?

Private companies can. Scana appears to be a regulated monopoly. Grey area there.

Did I see on another thread that you are a first generation American? Have you worn an American uniform? Did your dad? Your Grandfathers? All of my family did and I'm as proud of those who stood up for their rights in the South as I am the one at Valley Forge, New Orleans, Bexar, San Jacinto, Cuba, Normandy, The USS Cleveland ........
