The South is as dead as the rest of America or that flag would still be flying. America is finished.

The picture isn’t clear enough for posting.

Barrack Obama is a racist. His gloating is an indication that he feels that the Stars and Bars is a only a symbol of white superiority (which it is to a minority) and its removal is meaningful. He is like the high school nerd who takes credit for a championship team because he was “for” them when he never contributed anything to them but snarky criticisms. Nikki Haley is a hundred times the leader he is and he will not acknowledge her as the one who took the risk in taking down the flag and succeeded in making it a positive event.

Awwwww, c’mon. Cut the pres some slack.

Just because an illiterate nigga prince wants to re-write history and create a greater racial divide..... what can be wrong with that?

It was well on its way to healing before the intermeddling by an illiterate.

How many gave up their lives?

As for the other parts of the world, I have my doubts, but as it relates to the United States, Obama has no connection to reality whatsoever.

The man is dangerous. He feeds racism, insults our friends, and strengthens our enemies.

Let's not forget the history. A DemoRAT was the one who made sure that flag stayed on the Capital building until a republican wanted to take it off the State's Capital grounds, but had to capitulate to DemoRATs demanding it stay on the Capital grounds - and then he was voted out of office mainly because of his attempt.

We need to educate people the true history of that flag - IT WAS FLOWN BY DEMORATS, the Party that has NEVER apologized for slavery!

Just yesterday, I was talking to a guy at work who is well educated by the government school system and he thought the flag was a Republican flag.

And now the DemoRATS are taking credit and blaming Republicans for the perception of some imagined racism of today for supposedly being against taking that flag down.

It is the DemoRAT Party that has this heritage of hate. No Republican EVER held slaves - ONLY DEMORATS. The DemoRAT Party has NEVER apologized for slavery! If liberals want to ban anything meaningful because of slavery - BAN THE DEMORAT PARTY !!!

How many gave up their lives?

The number that is most often quoted is 620,000.

The number of casualties exceed the nation's loss in all its other wars, from the Revolution through Vietnam.

...a signal of good will and healing...

I think it's opened far more rifts than it has healed.

Not about blacks at all. This is southern whites vs northern whites.

Am I the only one who sees something inappropriate in this President, the result of an already married Kenyan Marxist, passing through long enough to impregnate a Leftist oriented American girl, before he returned to Kenya; the girl then taking the baby to Indonesia to be raised in an Indonesian family, before returning to the United States as a foreign student, dreaming about his Kenyan Marxist father; having the sheer gall to think he is qualified to pass judgment on issues deeply involved in American history?

I apologize for the run-on sentence. But really, has no one a sense of propriety in Washington?

In America.. you not longer have the most fundamentally human right... the right to say “Yes” & “No”...

The State has outlawed that and the State will now has a list it will issue you of answers you must say to certain questions or face punishment... and that list of political correct answers, that have become now legally correct answers, is getting longer each day

Uh oh........his racism is showing. He knows decent white people won’t raise much of a stink but he can sure depend on “his” people to do it (referring to the murder of the girl in SF) and as to his praising of the removal of the Confederate flag, well I’m looking to his removal in 2017 that is unless he decides to stay on.....don’t be suprised if he tries after he starts another civil war among the citizens.

Nikki Haley probably has ended her political career in South Carolina.
