South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley and Senators Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott are calling for the SC legislature to vote to remove the confederate flag when they meet on Tuesday (tomorrow).

In a separate article, SC businesses, such as Boeing, BMW and others, are also calling for this flag to come down.


Here is what is wrong with this whole debate ...spineless politicians who can't hold their ground. The only smart one of the lot was Mike Huckabee who refused to be pulled into the debate explaining it was a state issue and had nothing to do with the presidential campaign.

Some posters lumped the nazi flag with the confederate flag which in my view was at minimum a poor effort. One could take that analogy and add the American flag because some people find it offensive and even a few who live in America

Too many Americans have short attention spans or simply do not understand our system of democracy or are just plain lazy because this is not about a flag its about free speech which has been taking a terrible beating these last few years. political correctness = socialist restraints on individual freedoms

Personal Best Regards:
I believe the Supreme Court may have weighed in on this last week when it allowed Texas to ban Confederate Flag license plates. Seeing as the flag is flying on state government land it may fall this umbrella.
