Also Florida nearly even.

Kansas and MO are surprising and upsetting. Won’t take much for them to go blue.

The flag is a bellwether issue. As a socialist family member says to me, “People shouldn’t be allowed to do that”.

Blue states like to run people’s lives.

What’s amazing to me is how uneducated people have allowed themselves to become in understanding the original intent of our Constitution.

The liberal control of the school system is bearing it’s evil fruit.

Interesting that Montana, Wyoming, and Alaska are red. I suspect the lack of large urban areas and minority populations is a factor. Also interesting that WV is pro-flag, considering that they began as the most pro-Union part of VA.

“Because of the NCAA boycott of S.C.”

Had not heard that. Thanks. It makes a little more sense then.

The NCAA must have become a liberal watchdog now.

Lee’s strategies are still taught in military schools, if I’m not mistaken.
Most people don’t even know that he was Lincoln’s first choice as Union commander but Lee [who disliked slavery] said that he was a Virginian, first.

*shrug*

History gets rewritten so often that I can’t keep up any more.

I'm northern, but regard Lee as one of the great men of American history. I hope the Southerners never forget their brave and heroic past.

The problem is that many Southerners are ignorant of their brave and heroic past. They are totally unaware of the many thousands of brave Southerners who did resist the Democrats' rotten Confederate slave empire. Too many people incorrectly think that Confederate=Southern.

Would the war be about the right to fly the Confederate flag on the state capital grounds or would the war be about states rights?

Doesn't matter. It would still be a rebellion and would have to be suppressed.

Yeah, that’s what is destroying the Republican Party. The South’s decision to honor its dead. /sarcasm off.

No, why should he be? As a man who kept millions of his people in slavery I would think he'd have more in common with your viewpoints than with mine.

who cares what the NORTH thinks/doesn't think about our BATTLE FLAG, for which so many HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of BRAVE/HONORABLE dixie FREEDOM FIGHTERS shed their blood???

offhand, i can't think of even ONE southerner who cares a damn what they think.

fyi, we southerners care EVEN LESS about what hate-FILLED/ignorant/arrogant/SELF-righteous/sanctimonious DAMNyankees think.

If that's what it takes.........

As a man who kept millions of his people in slavery I would think he'd have more in common with your viewpoints than with mine.

As a man who murdered millions, removed people from their homes in the dead of night, suppressed freedom, disarmed the populace, stole property, etc, I'd say he had more in common with your invading ancestors and your present day liberal yankee politicians.

BTW, how do you heat your home in winter? By burning books in the fireplace? (especially ones that don't agree with your damn yankee propaganda)

Why did it take that?

What would I have in common with Jeff Davis?

BTW, how do you heat your home in winter? By burning books in the fireplace? (especially ones that don't agree with your damn yankee propaganda)

No, but I'm glad you recognize that I do get my information by reading actual books, and not relying on southron myth websites.

i agree, BUT i do NOT favor removing the battleflag from its current location. (every time i pass the statehouse, i get "misty-eyed" looking at the flag by the soldier's monument.)

we need to put the flag BACK up on the roof AND back on display in BOTH house chambers!

YEP. and the future is a FREE dixie REPUBLIC in the south and a SOCIALIST NANNY-state in the north.

i'm sure LEFTISTS, IDIOTS, FOOLS & south-HATERS (like YOU for example) will be pleased when that happens & you can thank yourselves for the split.

This is a SC issue. We’re ok - not entirely happy, mind you - with what we have now.

Well, 63% of you are. ;)
