Your bulbs looking a bit dim if you really believe what you posted.
What's wrong with flying a Confederate flag at a Confederate war memorial?
As to the General Sherman statue, there might as well be one. The statehouse still bears scars from Sherman's artillery and from the fire that followed his occupation.
Well,I think the atmosphere at SC beaches would not change at all because of the NAACP boycott.
Most NAACP members are solid middle class professionals,many of whom live in mostly white suburbs.They are hardly the type to"ack a fool"or do a "Negroes gone wild"type of trip.
The thug life crowd could care less about the group.They will hit the beaches wherever the party is at.
Its a wash.
If you think my bulbs are dim, perhaps you should remove your head from where it must be and reposition it to the top of your neck. That should help you in your obvious lack of perception and understanding of the South.
>>>Maybe they could just replace it with the rainbow flag. That would make Jesse, the gays and the enviros happy. They are the only ones who count anyway. /sarc/<<<
Good idea. The Ku Klux Klan carries the American Flag, so to be safe we should not substitute Old Glory for the Confederate Flag for fear of offending a handful of race-baiters.
>>>I think that the NCAA made the right decision.<<<
Personally, I think the NCAA should avoid social engineering. But how do you stop liberals from their natural role of playing Mother Hen?
>>>South Carolina has a proud heritage as being a state that does not bow to outside pressure or buckle to public opinion. This is what the Confederate battle flag stands for and as such should remain on State House grounds as a memorial to that spirit.<<<
The Confederate Flag shall forever remain a symbol to the sacrifices of so many brave men who sacrificed their lives and limbs in resistance to tyranny and aggression.
>>>>But I think that the underlying cause of the rebellion was the material selfishness of a relatively small group of slaveowners who manipulated events. And when events got hard for the Confederacy, the relatively quick collapse of the CSA showed that the rebellion never really had that much public support anyhow.<<<
When you get tired of thinking, maybe you should consider learning some history.
"And when events got hard for the Confederacy, the relatively quick collapse of the CSA showed that the rebellion never really had that much public support anyhow".
LOL! That's one of the most blatantly ignorant things I've ever seen posted on FR and I've seen some doozies.
most of us southerners would just as soon that they ALL stayed home & "tended to their own business".

they are called DAMNyankees, REVISIONISTS, LIBs & PC-idiots by 90%of southerners.

And we don't care HOW you did it up North, either!
It (their boycott) really hasn't had any kind of noticable impact in SC.
It is not in the character of those living in SC to surrender to outside threats.
i for one, would just as soon that ALL of the DAMNyankees/PC-idiots (and other similar LOSERS!) would stay out of SC & the southland as a whole (with the OBVIOUS exception of the "Winter Texans", who seem uniformly to be NICE, POLITE & DECENT folks, from the upper mid-west).
the WTs should give FREE LESSONS on MANNERS & PROPER DECORUM to the rest of our "visitors"!
i have NO problem whatever with "tourists" as long as they act with at least a minimum of decorum, honesty & manners.

Then surely you can present a couple of quotes from southerners saying that that's why they're seceding. Maybe you could look in the declarations of causes that four of the states issued. Oops, they pretty much only talk about protecting slavery.
In that case those Clemson boys can just stay home and play with themselves.
Apparently there were more southerners, black and white, in the Union army than there were in the confederate army.
Where is the White Coaches Association on this?
