Nice try at misdirection. No one said it should be banned, only that it shouldn't be flown on government property. Bit of a difference there.

(substituted out perhaps a better vid, that mentions shooting, molotov coctails, etc. from the rioters) Well that's the thing. If you riot because you are protesting deaths at the hands of police, you are a bunch of thugs and animals. Rioting because you don't want blacks going to a school? Eh, you know - it's about a meddling Federal government trampling on the rights of the state. Now, some might say "well, that was fifty years ago - blacks are doing that today." Yeah, no white folks would never pitch a fit today.

Linked from that article is one which shows Tim Scott at Haley's news conference in full support of the flag being taken down. Gov. Nikki Haley joins call to remove Confederate flag - Post and Courier also included is a quote from somebody from the Sons of Confederate Veterans and an actual state representative from Aiken who called it a non-issue being made an issue by certain groups to take advantage of a terrible situation," Gee I wonder if it will be a terrible situation when this causes him not to get re-elected? Another called it a Stalinist purge, I wonder how many people in his district know who Stalin was? |

Non-dola. I actually have to admit that, embarrassingly, I had little to no knowledge about the Ole Miss riots (yeah, I'm not exactly up on my 30 for 30s; also, this is something that is at best given a cursory mention in HS history classes, or at least mine). I looked it up because my wife mentioned that her sister and husband went to Ole Miss, and probably quite happily waved confederate flags at football games. So I went to look more into the history of that. I figured I'd share because it's a good thing to know about.

When they waved those flags were they thinking about racism or football? I grew up in Bulldog territory, so this isn't hitting me too hard. |

I don't think banning the flag will stop murders. I don't think it'll end racism (heck if anything it'll stoke the fires a bit in the short term). And I think it's really weird how society is taking it's political cues from a comedian on Comedy Central. With that said, it should have been gone a long time ago. It's a battle flag from a group that attacked America. How can any patriotic American defend that? And on top of that, it was only used by the state as a middle finger to people who wanted desegregation. |

So why does doing something about gun violence have to go straight to banning guns?

I don't know if I'd compare the political motives behind the Revolutionary War to those of the people looting a T-Mobile. Nor do I think comparing the position of colonists who had no representation to anyone in this country who has every right to vote on their representation. |

Seriously? Pound sand. Plenty of folks here and elsewhere ripped the rioters. Hell, some compare them to monkeys, or dogs, or whatever. Well guess what? We all have that in us. Whites have rioted and done plenty worse. Nobody's any better than anyone else. I may not sway anyone with my arguments, but shove off if you think I'll stop making them because they piss somebody off.

Hey, I'd like that. But I think we all need to take a look at reasons why that's not happening. Sometimes that's a little uncomfortable.

According to the Fox Carolina poll at 10 pm, 37% of the respondents were for the flag coming down, 67% against, and 2% undecided. People in South Carolina can't even do simple math, actually taking action on the flag is probably too difficult for them.
As someone who has lived here for 25 years, I would be quite surprised if they vote to bring the flag down. There's too many legislators from the further reaches of the state where a vote to remove it would be detrimental to their reelection. Last edited by Easy Mac : 06-22-2015 at 10:32 PM. |

Nobody asked, but the Mississippi flag should be changed. Will it be okay if its still related to the south?

Seriously. It's like the desperate posts by someone who has no rational reason for anything he says.
