Suddenly, I flat can’t stand Nikki Haley.
With this one issue she has redefined herself.
As Conservatives, we have to remember that States have the right to display or to not dispay whatever flag they please, unless of course the friggin ACLU, or anti Christian groups complain and threaten to sue for whatever stupid reason they cite.
I have a battle flag that has been folded neatly in my desk drawer for decades and I have never flown it. I am not even a southerner, although I have lived in the deep south for most of my life.
I revere it for it’s historical meaning. I don’t need to fly it but would if the occasion was important to me.
I have no bad feelings about Haley. This matter was most certainly going to end in boycotts and worse if she had not made a legitimate compromise between what she wished to be and what actually was.
Having said that, I am currently in another flag battle. A County judge in a neighboring county was flying the “an appeal to heaven” revolutionary war battle flag on the courthouse lawn. A freedom from religion group threatened to sue and he took it down. Notwithstanding that the flag had literally nothing to do with religion and was based on a quote by John Loche and designed by a general Washington staffer. (some call it the pine tree flag)
I immediately ordered one and am flying it proudly at home.
So I am no shrinking violet...just a sensible man with a understanding of what battles to fight today and what battles need to wait for a better day.

Nikki did the best she could with an untenable position
She has done pretty well as governor and SC is the better for it
