Dear Ms. Haley: Has it dawned on you that you cannot – repeat - Cannot placate a mob of leftists bent on the destruction of freedom? That should have been obvious to you BEFORE your pandered to the masses. But alas, it should be readily apparent to you NOW.
You could have simply waited a few news cycles and the whole thing would have blown over with the media chasing after yet another squirrel. This is what Communists on the Country’s left do all the time – they Stonewall (oops! Can I even use that expression any more?) delay and demur and questions on the controversy de jour until enough time passes that the masses move on to the latest on what the Kardashians are doing or some other mindless pabulum. This is Hillary Clinton’s ongoing media strategy, but rest assured she will clue everyone in on her excuses from breaking the law somewhere along towards the end of 2nd or 3rd term in the oval office.
But hey, instead of following that tried and true method and having the whole thing burn itself out right around now, you choose to throw a big ‘Ol bucket of gasoline on the fire pandering to the DemoMob. Now with your attempt at appeasement, the freedom hating leftist can now point to YOU and other denizens of the GOP for justification for their lynching of history.
You and the RINO pack could have tried to weather the storm a few days and it would have blown itself out, but instead you decided to reward them and encourage them to press on making even more insane demands.
Make my words, they will keep on making more and more outrageous demands until you have to put you foot down – THEN they will turn on you and act as though you didn’t try to appease them in the first place.
So let’s have a new rule – call it the Nikki rule:
Any time there is a Controversy like this WAIT at least 5 –7 days before even considering any type of pandering aside from the perfunctory short press statements that don’t actually say anything.
Thank you for your time.
P.S. One other thing, your aspirations for higher office are toast at this point, that should be painfully obvious to you by now. And it should serve as an object lesson for anyone in the GOP that wishes to follow your path to destruction.
Did they learn their lesson?
Certainly! If anyone objects mention that you are using it to memorialize the bravery of those who participated in the Stonewall riots in New York! They won't dare criticize that!
PC can be fun.
Brilliant! Thanks 4 the essay.
Did they learn their lesson?
This isn’t about racism; the Rebel battle flag represent defiance of the Federal Government. This is the concept that needs to be purged from the collective memory. There is no escape from FedGov™. Slavery and racism is just the excuse for deleting this from our history.
“Did they learn their lesson? “
Are you talking about the GOP? Not likely. They are just bidding their time, looking for another opportunity to sell their supporters down the river. Pun intended.
Thanks, I had to get that off my chest.
While I don’t like critiquing ‘my side’ that needed to be said.
This Leftist insanity has got to stop, and we don’t need ‘our side’ helping them out.
This is so very disappointing to me. Nikki Haley, in my opinion, has been pitbull as a Gov. I have followed her since her first debate running for Gov. The good ‘ol boys in this state (Republicans) went after her with a vengeance because they didn’t like the way she shook the boat as a legislator.
She was a true Conservative and she always made the right decisions. Especially how she went after the union trying to take over our Boeing plant.
Now, she’s just another pandering politician. She’s toast as far as I am concerned.
The jury is still out on how I feel toward Sen. Tim Scott.
Yes, exactly – you only have to look at where the Leftists are heading next, to the US Flag, the Gadsden flag, etc.
They want to purge thoughtcrime (i.e. opposition to them) as quickly as they can.
Exactly. I’m wondering how safe the Minnesota flag is now.
The Minnesota flag is of a white man plowing a field and an Indian on horseback riding westward. I remember in my classes in elementary school being taught (in a positive way) the flag was about the white people settling on the land and forcing the Indians to move out.
Nothing should be conceded that advances the agenda of the vile , destructive Left.
Hope springs eternal, but I doubt it myself.
Hmmm I’m trying to think of what the GOP HAS done for it’s base lately...
Rolling snakes eyes on that one.
I shudder to think about how they my go all ‘Bipartisan’ on guns.....
Well done.
Removing all vestiges of George Washington is next.
I agree, this should be an object lesson for the rest of the GOPe....
Whether they learn their lesson and take it to heart is another matter.
I agree with those who say the proper response to all this would have been to tell the questioner to respect the mourning families and come back in a few weeks.
Great post, Voice of Reason88. Thanks.
Hope and change…fundamentally transforming…ISIS-style.
I guess the next thing that will be banned are any old civil war movies
that shows the confederate flag.
Now Houston ISD wants to rename schools. That means a trip to an August school Board meeting. I am already all over them on the Arabic Immersion Magnet School here that makes two activities 4 August.
