[Buckeye McFrog]

I have taxes to raise

Guess that explains why he wants to remove any symbols of rebellion or secession

[Gaffer]

And when the hysterical media and minorities claim he is anti-whatever, will he fall on his knees and physically prove he’s not homophobic or racist?

[atc23]

US flag is next.

[Mr. K]

WE’RE SAVED!!! THEY REMOVED A FLAG!!!

NOW THERE WILL BE NO MORE VIOLENCE

[Clump]

Lower the flag and raise the taxes. Super.

[NormsRevenge]

nO shiite Gub, a major distraction.. Indeed!

benghazi, TPP, Iran, SCotUS rulings,,

Nope , nothing else going on..

Roll the race card cart out of the paddock..

pulled by shining piles of media excrement..

running with every story except ones..

that speak truth to power and corruption.

[mrmeyer]

Coward. This is cultural suicide in action folks.

[greene66]

What cowardly scum.

[VideoDoctor]

What next?... NO FLAGS of any kind?

[Vigilanteman]

Now that the CSA flag is down and the past has been erased, we also need to erase all the other legacies from Jim Crow such as affirmative action and race based government payments and promotions.

[KC_Lion]

What next?... NO FLAGS of any kind?

Just the Red Banner of the International.

[StoneWall Brigade]

I wonder which State is next?

[mass55th]

These a-holes won’t be happy until they’ve destroyed all the memorials to the Confederate dead. Just like ISIS, these scumbags want to destroy 154 years of this country’s history.

“WE’RE SAVED!!! THEY REMOVED A FLAG!!!

NOW THERE WILL BE NO MORE VIOLENCE”

That is exactly how I feel. Knee jerk, useless reactions.

[kingu]

I give your flag to bigots and strike it from the memorial, and I raise your taxes.

To the people of Alabama, I say, raise your flag and demand your taxes be cut.

[relictele]

This had the potential to become a major distraction as we go forward

The language of the weasel. Sounds like Boehner and McConnell 'taking things off the table.'

When you have no principles and no spine, your ideas about paving roads or building schools are irrelevant and trivial.

[Georgia Girl 2]

This is the destruction of history by the Progressive Left. Rush is probably right the American flag will be next.

[Sacajaweau]

People died for that flag and they were good people who loved the south and its heritage.

This removal is just another "I hate whitey" move. Just like the MLK statue in DC (where it doesn't belong), MLK holiday, black month....etc etc.

[Georgia Girl 2]

They are just making room for the star and crescent.
