In September of 1961, as a protest to the burgeoning racial integration of this country, the . . . .
. . . . state of South Carolina raised the confederate battle flag/stars and bars/American swastika/whatever you want to call it to the top of the statehouse. It flew there until 2000, when sufficient pressure was brought to bear on its defenders to move it from the capital dome to a nearby flagpole.
And there it would still be were it not for even more pressure from all corners of the country to pull it down. Right wing governor Haley would not have done a damned thing to take it down were it not for this pressure. A healer she is not, her pious intonements of kumbayah notwithstanding.
But the biggest lesson here is the reason it went up in the first place: a direct reaction of white people to gains in racial equality. The flag is, in fact, a racially charged emblem of hate.
Next time some fat, white **** tells you the flag honors his gran'daddy's service as a soldier, you can tell him he's full of shit. There are other ways to honor your gran'daddy.
And yeah, what about those soldiers who fought for the confederacy? Well, the fact is they were fighting for TRAITORS. They may or may not have been, individually, traitors, but they were sure as hell fighting in support of them
Since when do we honor traitors?
The flag came down today. Rather than celebrate and thank those who, caving to pressure, ordered it down, I will look on in scorn at those who STILL want it flying someplace.
"Honor your gran'daddy" my ass.
And how about the rest of you dumb****s who have the stars and bars, or some part of it, as a part of YOUR state flags? How about you governors who allow that piece of shit flag to be on your license plates?
How about it.
Enough is enough.
You bigoted mother****ers.

Since you continued to elect them to office as the Democrat Senator/Congress Critter from your state.

Which party had the governorship in 1861 ****tard?
And which party had the governorship in 1961?
And 2000?
HERE! Here's a little help: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Governors_of_South_Carolina
"How dare you ****ing racist republicans not take down that flag our democratic governors kept putting up!"
You ****ing asswipes keep pushing.

Dude better be careful, lest he suffer the same unhappy fate of Bob out there in Colorado.

You can also look at the house and senate seats and see that for 100 years after the reconstruction carpet bagger republicans left, S.C. was solid democrat.

The whole state (or estate as they day in spanish) of West Virginia is named after one of the biggest racists ever...Robert Byrd.
When are we going to disinter him and unceremoniously remove his name from every pork barrel project he ever rolled into the state ?
Not anytime soon is my prediction.

Beat me to it. Also the democrat party was the party of the Confederacy. I want them to change their name and disband because of their racist pass.

Interesting that we are interacting on the subject...
In their headlong rush to remove all public monuments to the Confederacy, its warriors, and the dead-enders who fought on its behalf after the Civil War ended, liberals are curiously overlooking a prime offender -- one of their own.
Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh wasn't going to let this pass unnoticed.
On his show Friday, Limbaugh talked about the Memphis city council voting unanimously to move the remains of Confederate general Nathan Bedford Forrest and his wife, along with a statue of Forrest, from a public park to a location still undetermined.
Forrest is possibly better known for a horrible distinction -- as one of the founders of the Ku Klux Klan.
And among its devout followers in the mid-20th century was a West Virginian Democrat pol named Robert Byrd, who later ascended to the highest reaches of the US Senate and was continually applauded, at least on the left, as revered elder statesman.
Why isn't Byrd getting the same bum's rush as Bedford, Limbaugh asked
OK, let me guess, folks -- some of you when you heard me mention the name Nathan Bedford Forrest, it rang a bell.
You couldn't quite place it but you had heard the name, right?
And then when I said Southern general, Confederate general, oh yeah, yeah yeah. Well, let me tell you about Nathan Bedford Forrest.
You see, they already in Memphis renamed the name of the park.
Now they're going to remove the bones and his poor wife whose name still hasn't appeared in the story.
But Nathan Bedford Forrest was a Democrat.
He was such a prominent Democrat, such a radical Democrat, he helped found the Ku Klux Klan.
Now who do you think honored this guy in the first place?!
Democrats!
It wasn't a bunch of Republicans that built statues and flagpoles and memorials to this guy.
Who did it?!
It was Democrats!
I'm going to tell you something else, folks -- all of this is pee pee, ca ca, do do.
I am not going to believe that the Democrats are serious about removing the scourge of the past until they rename everything in West Virginia after Robert W. Byrd (Byrd's middle initial was actually C., for Carlyle), because you ought to see the list of things that are named after Robert W. Byrd in West Virginia.
It would take you I don't know how many pieces of paper to list everything -- the highways, the rest areas, the junk yards, the buildings, the parks.
It is embarrassing the number of places in West Virginia which are named after Robert W. Byrd, who was a grand klegal and a klingon or some such thing in the Ku Klux Klan.
Well, he was! And I don't see anybody making a mad dash to dig him up and move him somewhere else and to strip ev-, I mean, the federal buildings in that state, every damn one of 'em practically is named after him -- the highways, the turnpikes, the thoroughfares, the back streets, the back alleys!
He was the Democrat majority leader of the Senate, was considered the dean of the Senate, he was a grand klingon in the Ku Klux Klan for crying out loud!
They can talk about the Confederate flag all they want and Bill Clinton, he's out (mimicks Clinton), I started cryin', I almost started cryin' when I saw that flag come down today, oh my -- he raised the damn thing in Arkansas!
In memory of his mentor, J. William Fulbright, also a segregationist senator, unrepentant segregationist.
This is such ca ca, folks. At the end of the day, all of it, you got John Lewis in there and all these other people and the impression that they're leaving is that the Republicans suffer another big defeat today as the Confederate flag is removed in South Carolina.
The Republicans had nothing to do with putting the Confederate flag up!
And the Republicans had nothing to do with everything in West Virginia being named after Robert Byrd.
Liberals aren't likely to scrub Byrd's presence in the public square with a ferocity equal to that aimed at Forrest, especially considering that Byrd "spent decades" apologizing for his involvement with the Klan, calling it a "sad mistake."
Instead, the left will do what they've done with late New Deal diplomat Alger Hiss since the Venona intercepts proved Hiss was a Soviet spy -- he will be airbrushed from public memory, except among conservatives with long memories.
Just a matter of time before lefists invoke Byrd with the same rare frequency that they now cite Hiss.

While we're at it can we get J. William Fulbright's Presidential Medal of Freedom revoked? Oh yeah and we need to change the name of the Congressional Scholarship named after him too.
Oh wait...that's right...

This whole remove the flag thing and everything associated with it is trying to accomplish 2 goals.
1. Removing the deal with Iran off of the front page and the nightly news.
2. Removing reminders the democrats were involved with slavery, the War Between the States and period of Jim Crow after it.

Is it the stars and bars or the battle flag stinky? Bet you still want to ban the part of the gun that goes up as well. Typical liberal, they want to legislate things they have no clue about. For being the supposed intellectual superior you sure are pretty stupid.
Bless your heart.

We do like to take pity on those less fortunate or a bit touched in the head.
His brain is so small it would roll around on the head of a pin like a BB on the interstate. Bless his heart. lol

How about a serious miscarriage of "justice", some Muslim from Kenya was awarded the Nobel Peace prize and has expanded war to more areas than ever before.
