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). If this vote passes, it would come down before the body of the state senator who died last Wednesday lies in state in the state house.

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

Absolutely wrong! First, would YOU be okay with a next door neighbor flying a Nazi flag? I hope not! Is that a socialist restraint on individual freedom? No! Just try doing it.

Huckabee actually said the victims should have been carrying guns in church and was calling for MORE guns to stop crazies! He is the crazy! The other GOP hopefuls have tried to put this on attacking Christians and not about guns. More crazies!

If some major manufacturing moves out of SC, it will make them take action. Power of money!

Finally, as said before, keep your personal best regards to yourself. They are tarnished and do not show good judgement on the topic.
