Sometimes I wonder if the rest of the country hates the south so much, why did you fight to keep us in the Union to start with?
To restore the Union

Because of the Cheap Cost of living.
Buying a house on a acre of land for a 150k goes way farther in Retirement, Then buying a McMansion in California for 800k.

I think you guys in the south need to get over it.
YOU LOST
That flag should be in a museum somewhere, not flying on a Government building. This flag issue has nothing to do with the Shootings in SC, but sadly the 2 issues have cross paths.
There is nowhere in the world, where the losing team of any war gets to fly their flag
Whereas citizens of the southern states seized the Property of the United States.
Whereas citizens of the southern states fired upon the soldiers of the United States.
Whereas citizens of the southern states made war against the United States.
Whereas Article III Section 3 of Constitution of the United States states;
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.
I just hope those flags are manufactured in the USA and not China.
Why? The Confederacy was never part of the United States and in fact was an enemy of our country. It would be like a US company manufacturing an ISIS flag.
Seriously..these days I've practiacally forgotten the names of the shooter and the 9 dead. All I'm hearing about is how we HAVE TO GET RID OF THE CONFEDERATE FLAG and all the statues, etc too. Where the hell did all this come from? The confederate flag is repped by people all over and has been for years with hardly any issues at all and now all of the sudden we need to get rid of it cus of some lone wolf? And in the south a white person who listens to anti-white black rAPPERS like boosie and plies, etc. is just as likely to wear the flag as any kinda "racist" or w.e u wanna call em.
And how come black on white crazy killings happen damn near every day in America and the news doesn't even bring up race when covering them, if they do at all? And believe me in MANY of those cases they can find that race is the main motivator by just looking at the perps twitter/fb, etc but they choose not to being it up. On the other hand nearly every single white on black killing in AMERICA is put on blast in the news for weeks and months because it is so rare. Should we start getting rid of black items too particularily black pride ones since I'm sure many they have been worn in many of these senseless RACIAL black on white killings that aren't called racial.
Food for thought.
Let me guess ... next you're going to argue that Dylan Roof is a martyr.
First politicians want to be seen as doing something, even if it is a futile symbolic attempt to make constituents believe they finding solutions to problems of mass murderers.
Second, the liberals believe any tragedy should be exploited to the fullest extent, and they know when people are emotional and hurting, they do not think logically. So they try to pass things that the general populace wouldn't under normal circumstances.
Third, PCers have been trying to rid everyone of symbols, words, thoughts, etc. they consider to be offensive.
The Confederate flag has been on their list for many decades, and since this freak posed with one, that is all the excuse they need. You can bet that if some nut wore a Redskins jersey before killing people, they would use it as an excuse to try and force the name change.
This is just an extension of the 2nd reason, as if this will cause evil people not to commit horrible acts.
One wonders if the next time a black radical freak poses with a ANC flag before killing white people, if the same type of fervor will ensue to remove the ability to buy it
Nailed it. YOU are my favorite poster of this day.
It's quite funny that people are conveniently forgetting the name of the Charleston shooter or telling everyone to not say his name like he's Voldemort, yet they choose to remember/say the name of the Movie theater shooter or Boston bombing terrorist.
Those were rhetorical questions and didn't need an answer.
At least you recognize "This flag issue has nothing to do with the Shootings in SC" in spite of the media and politics.
