I know there seems to be some controversy of the Confederate battle flag being flown on the SC capital building, and after much thought I can't come up with any good reason why it should be there. First off a government building should fly the colors it is loyal too, and to fly the confederate flag is showing at least some level of loyalty to what the confederate states stood for. Secondly, the flag was not flown in SC until the early 60s when democrats controlled the south. I see this as yet another Republican led government having to reverse the racist policies put in place by their democrat predecessors. The flag won't be forgotten, but it has its place and time to be shown and that is not on a government building alongside the Stars and Stripes.

Many men died fighting for that flag , it's a historic piece of America's history and I refuse to make it disappear .

Many men died fighting for the Nazi flag also. You don't see Germany flying it over their government buildings.

“the flag was raised over the state capitol by Democrat Fritz Hollings – then Governor” in 1962 before being “taken off the state capitol by Republican David Beasley after pressure in 1998 and put on the State grounds.”

If the Stars and Bars should be eliminated for all time because of its meaning and offense to African Americans, I advocate we do the same with the Stars and Stripes because of the meaning and offense to Native Americans.

And of late there are a lot of "Brown" people across the planet who may be joining that chorus as well!

Instead of so much focus on a piece of cloth, why not look deeper at the reasons for why the need of a small minority of human kind to control everyone else and to create gang movements to do so?

You've said some nutty stuff, but this takes the cake. The Stars and Bars were/are a flag of traitors. It should no more be displayed than a Nazi flag. Bringing Native Peoples into it is ludicrous.

@wkmac, thanks for the offer of hugs and kisses, but I'm not that kind of guy. My views, though decidedly left leaning, are not conspiratorial, nor are they extreme. You and baba seem to share a lot in common.

Traitors? You mean secessionists? Nah

Nope, I mean traitors. You can also refer to them as terrorists.

Guess rampant racism is alive and well in the conservative party.

Actually, alive in all of America. You are correct, though, the conservatives are leading the way, with reactionaries right behind.

The South will rise again!

Of course he was a Christian. This is where HATE is spawned.
