    This has to be a joke. A politician who wanted to have a Confederate Battle Flag taken down helps do so. He says because that is what his district wanted. Now hears of a replacement flag and has to get on a hunting website to find out what it looks like?
    I guess politicians are mindless idiots or just hope everyone else is.

    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    I read a lot of typos in that letter. I hope that isn't the copy they sent to the pos potus because that won't help with the poor ol' sc mentality

    So the representatives of the people are making decisions to replace the flag with another that they know nothing about, not even what it looks like? Just a placeholder... to hell with the heritage and history.

    Bunch of BS and down right embarrassing if you ask me.

    Poll: Majority sees Confederate flag as Southern pride symbol, not racist

    http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/02/politi...outhern-pride/

    CNN/ORC poll: 57% see Confederate flag as Southern pride

    Mergie Poll: 100% see our legislators as pussies!

    DT,

    If it's coming down, just bring it down all together. If replaced, you & your homies will be addressing this shit show again shortly.

    If it comes down, at least y'all can move on to the next offensive symbol in our state.


    Anybody up thar had to nuts to request the citizens to vote on it?

    One quick item for discussion that has been bothering me.

    It seems the national perception is that we are still flying the flag over the statehouse. I have seen the images on several new channels (NBC, CNN, etc.) showing the three flags and several other forums I frequent have folks discussing the fact that we shouldn't be flying this flag with the US and state flag. I still say it is no ones business but ours (state of SC), but that does impact some folks opinion as compared to the fact that it is on the ground adjacent to a confederate monument. Typical media skewing the truth.

    I think that was brought up. We'll have to see if it gains any traction.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    We stopped at the Dixie General Store in Alabama on the way back from Arkansas last week and I picked this one up. It is now flying from my front porch adjacent to Ol' Glory. House hasn't been egged or shot up yet.

    I worked the room pretty good and have about 35 co-sponsors of amendment with 55 willing to vote for it..


    on the other side of the lobby, the senate voted to remove the flag by a vote of 37 to 3.

    I told you this was coming. You can choose to continue down the keep it up route, but it will not prevail.


    Of course there is a more sinister approach. Any change in the senate version could cause a stalemate which results in the flag staying up. Remember, a 2/3 vote is required.
    Either write things worth reading, or do things worth writing.

    Hmmm. I bet voters would tell y'all otherwise.

    I also bet y'all will be working overtime trying to appease the minority with the shit storm they are about to throw at you.
