To normal folks this is a man of integrity, respect, and a hero.
To the Left he'll be labeled an Uncle Tom or worse.
I'm of "the left", and I admire and respect him. Just because you carry a Confederate flag doesn't mean you detest people "not like you". True, I think such people are sincerely misguided with the "Heritage, Not Hate" thing; but that doesn't mean they deserve rejection and certainly not deeply personalized rejection. The only grounds for personalized rejection is if that person shows a clearly willfully callous indifference toward others.
So where does this "leftist" (read: me) fit into your claim?
Oh, people you think like you, no surprise, it runs in the family.
Was your 'engineer' brother on any of the news channels giving updates during press conferences? No? Well then. Add your brother to the list of people whose opinion means **** to the rest of Houston.
The only one crying is you. And it's falling on deaf Houston ears. Why don't you donate some money and do something good...something people will actually care about. For once.
Why don't we ALL take it down a notch?
I'm sure everyone can agree that this is a horrible disaster for those in Southern Texas (not just Houston) and the water isn't even receded and yet there's fighting about what should or shouldn't happen, what did or didn't happen or were decisions made good or bad.
They'll be plenty of time in the coming weeks to do all of that...
Those ARE true hero's! Unpaid,not insured, on their own dime with nothing forcing them to be there other than out of compassion for their fellow citizens.

I think it would be helpful if those of us not going through this catastrophe bring it down a notch. Those posting from flooded areas are going to be upset and it seems like some posters are intentionally goading them. It's painful to watch - these people are going through enough already.
I'm just pointing out that statues/flags/monuments aren't the key (or even one of the top keys) to a functioning society's ability to negotiate its past, present and future.
The narrative in the MSM and Left (perhaps more of the fringe Left but nonetheless) believe otherwise.
This story and many others like it prove that claim but the MSM/Left to be false IMO.
Just shut up. You took a nice story and are trying to lay your partisan eggs on it and nobody is buying it.
Sonny is a black man. Is it okay now for him to offer his opinion?
Only after checking him with the Sherwin Williams color sample chart can we judge the quality of his argument.
Clearly Martin Luther King asking for people to be judged by character and not skin color is passe.
These days the strength of your argument with FRINGE elements (please do not lump all of the left in with this) is CLEARLY tied to pigmentation and not oh...logic and so forth.
Can you cite a source that says they are no longer required by law to file forms that detail potentially dangerous chemicals?
Early this morning I was switching, IIRC, between Channel 26 and Channel 2 here in the Houston metro and I heard the same thing.
