It isn't your state, and you ought to butt out of affairs which are none of your business.

How about call a special election and see what the residents of the state want to do about the flag... it’s their capitol, after all.

Yup. That's what ballot initiatives are for and unlike gay marriage, block robed dictators won't overrule the will of the people (unless they decide to keep the flag)

The GOP and the DNC IMO are equal and have the same agenda. I care for neither. Our Republic is doomed.

Reince Prince speaking for the RNC doing away with the Confederate Battle Flag, Karl Rove saying it’s time to repeal the Second Amendment, Jeb Bush says the transgender military is cool. They claim to be Conservative but they may be left of Bernie Sanders, I’ve been voting for, contributing to, and working for their candidates for over fifty years and they wonder why I’m “Past Due” on my RNC membership. Pandering to those who will give them no money, no work and no votes. I think they’re double agent democrats and the republican party has been co-opted and is doomed.

150 years ago. The south thought they were as right as the north.

They were "righter" than the North. They held to the founding document. The North did not. The North rebelled against it.

The Confederates were DEMOCRATS. Abraham Lincoln was a REPUBLICAN. The Ku Klux Klan was full of DEMOCRATS. The narrative has now been completely twisted to have Republicans having to call for the removal of a classic symbol of Democrat rule and having to apologize for it. Good grief.

That might have been true years ago but since the 60s and 70s more-or-less it has been Republicans. Times change and today there are virtually no Democrats flying or defending the Confederate flag.

And I had such high hopes for the Rinsed Prius, too... What a disappointment.

The two wings of the Uniparty can debate the nuances of tyranny without my participation.

I just saw this today. It speaks that which has been on my mind for the last two decades. Especially the follow up comment, excerpted here.

If the goal really is to reduce the human footprint, it is easy to see the current manufactured cultural preoccupation with homos and trannys, the canonization of the supremely dysfunctional and geno-suicidal black race and unrestricted international immigration as several elements of a internationally co-ordinated plan to set the global population at each others throats.

We are ruled by Malthusians who consider it an acceptable result that we and our families should die.

I am so happy that I am no longer affiliated with this weak livered organization. It would take an act of God for me to support them ever again.

“Pick the Target, Freeze It, Personalize It and Polarize It.” - Alinsky

The BGI’s campaign has very successfully characterized the Battle Flag as one thing: racist.

The War Between The States was not only about slavery.

They have balls for a flag but do not have balls for removing Boner nor Obama.

When will the rep party ever learn to stop jumping on idiotic flavor of the week bandwagons? This flag flap will fade in a week. And even if it didn’t people who care about this sort of thing will never ever vote for a gop candidate.

Agreed, I demand Pizza be banned because Racist Black Murderers celebrate their crimes with it.

BGI - Black Grievance Industry. Sharpton, Obama, NPB, SPLC, Crump, etc.

“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs – partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.” My Larger Education, Booker T. Washington

Just convinced me not to donate a penny to RNC. Why don’t Nikki, Romney, and RNC put their time and effort in removing illegal aliens who continue to murder and create mayhem across the country?
