Confederate Battle Flag
The Confederate Flag thing seems to be getting out of control. The flag is absolutely a point of pride for Southerners who have an attachment to the Civil War. It is also a point of pride for redneck racist douchebags. But the great thing about this country is that you can be redneck racist douchebag (of any color) and not go to jail for it.
I don't think the flag should get taken down over government buildings. This country is supposed to be about freedom, even if it is freedom you find distasteful. The confederate flag is not a nazi flags, it has many more meanings than slavery.
The ten commandments however have no business being on government grounds in front of a courtroom. Separation of church and state.

I've been visiting the USA for over 30 years now, and I have never seen in the US the separation between State, Religion and Politics that one sees in post-war Europe. The three are intertwined in the US culture in an unnatural way, and I'm not sure that as a State, you have benefited from it.
I mean no disrespect in the above; just my observation.

Yeah, you're right.... The Confederate Flag killed those 9 people in Charleston.

The problem of communication by symbol is you're not in control of how others interpret that symbol. Knowing your chosen symbol is offensive to a particular group and you choose to use it anyway is your choice. But it's one that shows sloppy communication and disregard for others.
Certainly the government shouldn't use it's speech representing its people in sloppy and knowingly rude ways.

This is just more distraction from the liberal retards currently steering the truck slowly over the cliff. If this stands and continues as it is, the US Flag will be next. Mark my words.

Now that South Carolina has taken down the flag, what do you think they will target and bitch about next?
By the way, is there anything to the fact that the SC State Trooper's uniforms there are Gray? Maybe they should change them!
And FWIW, the flag everyone is crying and bitching about is not even the Confederate flag (Stars and Bars) or the Confederate Battle Flag, it's the Confederate Navy Jack flown by the nearly non-existent Confederate Navy.

It's actually the battle flag of the army of North Virginia (Robert E. Lee).... So a killer has his picture taken in front of a confederate navy jack and SC is forced to taken down the battle flag of the army of North Virginia.... the stupidity of all this never ceases to amaze......

We need to ban bald people--they are an aryan symbol.....
democrats want to ban a part of American history, because they were and are the ones who still perpetuate slavery.
It has nothing to do with a flag.
Once you start down the road of banning, that which offends some, there is no end.
That is why we have a first Amendment.I'm not Spartacus
