That's not a severed arm, Lindsey, it's an arm holding a sword, for our state motto reads "By this sword we seek peace, but peace only under Liberty!"
The arm with the sword has nothing to do with the Native American Indian, who symbolizes early Massachusetts history (Plymouth) and the collaboration between the Indians and Englishmen. And the Indian's arrow is pointing down, signifying peace.
Peace, the sword, defending Liberty! Get it, Lindsey?? Again, pick up a history book!
This is why we hate politicians. They are stupid and ignorant and shoot their mouths off.
Who can forget Rick Perry when he was running for President in ‘12, claiming the American Revolution was in the 16th century?
As much as I hate Linda I have to say, let’s attack other state flags, see how they like. The sanctimonious bastards are all so hot to get rid of the Confederate Flag... let them get rid of their own freaking flags too!
The best way to show how ridiculous a course of action is, is to carry it to its logical conclusion.
These politicos are so bloody ignorant. They should be required to take a civics test before being allowed to run for office.
The collaboration between the Indians and Pilgrims started when an Indian named Samoset walked up to the Pilgrims’ meeting house and knocked on the door. The men inside opened it and Samoset asked in broken English, “Do you have any beer?” The men sat him down and gave him a mug of ale.
Samoset had been working with English sailors off what is now the Maine coast, showing them where to cast their nets. That’s where he learned English and acquired a taste for brew.
Did John McCain tell him to say that? Lindsey should refrain from speaking on his own.
Dude, you so missed Lindsay’s point.....he was just taking a little jab at the overly offended yankees who demanded his state remove the Battle Flag.
I mean, he’s Goober, a RINO loser, but he does make a decent tongue in cheek point here.
Cotton, Don’t you know historical FACTS mean nothing in the PC world. Perceptions trump all.
If Graham and others can convince some aggrieved minority that the arm is an affront to them, they then have a “cause”.
In Graham’s case, he is looking for relevancy and traction in the primaries.
Kinda pathetic, but that is what the ruling class do.
(clickable for its history)
Why not remove everything and just fly the white flag of surrender?
Who knew Linda Grahamnasty is still alive!
We lost our Confederate flag flying at Confederate CEMETERIES. Bunch of libs from above the Mason Dixon line (out-of-staters) supported that one. So now you folks “up there” are getting a taste of what it feels like to have an illiterate do-gooder from “outside” start telling you how to live your life and how to change your culture and rewrite your history. Not fun is it?!! I wouldn’t wish Lindsey Graham on anyone, he is a hayseed and an embarrassment to us in SC. But in this case he justly depicts what it is like to have an outsider, that doesn’t understand your history or your culture preaching to you. Again, Not fun is it?!! Lesson learned! Why aren’t you supporting his view...poor Indians with their arms cut off! :-) ...the Confedreate flag was not flying over the sratehouse, it was flying over a gravesite for people who DIED for that flag.
Linda’s colossal ignorance demonstrates that people who forget history are doomed to repeatedly uttering studipities.
And here we thought South Carolina to be somewhat conservative. Then they go and reelect this putz.
Just damn!
Look, don't say anything unless I tell you to. Got it.
I didn’t know either, but I found this google thingy on the interweb.......
Heraldry, Lindsey! Read a book about it!
Is this guy still running??
Really Linda....are you that stupid? I can’t believe anyone would elect you to do anything but clean up the parks after the dogs went thru...
Go back to your ‘friend’ McLame and he’ll take care of you, you sad sack of blubbering trash!
I think Lindsey just needs a little nookie then maybe he’ll settle down,
This then is the real thing....... it was made by Texans and is on the wall of the building where the fallen of goliad are remembered
