You donât get much more ill-informed or non-caring than Huckabee and the like. I hope he just keeps on speaking his mind and makes it far this primary season. America, this is todayâs Republican Party.

He had plenty to say in 2004 when Massachusetts adopted marriage equality.

Without even reading the thread Chuck Todd has zero credibility on anyone and any subject.

¨Huckabee said that South Carolina has a female governor and an African American senator, making it unfair to critcize [sic] the state for their flag.¨

âYou donât like people from outside the state coming in and telling you what to do with your flag,â Huckabee said.
âIn fact, if somebody came to Arkansas and told us what to do with our flag, weâd tell 'em what to do with the pole; thatâs what weâd do,â he added.
Blaming âoutside agitators.â Typical Southern conservative attitude. Same attitude we heard from George Wallace, Lester Maddox and Gov. Faubus of Arkansas.

I just donât get it. This entire Charleston massacre tragedy has put softball questions to the GOP Klown Kar and one by one, they fail spectacularly to respond authentically as human and sentinent beings. First it was denial that it was a racist act and neither just a horrific crime or (my personal favorite) another attack on us poor beleaguered Christians. Well, after a few days most of them finally acceded to the killerâs own words as to his motivation. And now The Flag as a potent symbol of hate and finding moral courage is near impossible.

For such a family-values kinda guy, Huck sure has a penchant for jokes that are, if not quite âdirty,â at least tending that way.

âShoving polesâ - Not just a Freudian slip, but a Freudian slip with matching Freudian bustier and Freudian garter belt.

Yes, itâs always shoving something down or up some Christianâs orifice. Thatâs always a dead giveaway as to where their minds reside.

Huckanass continued, âHey Todd, we got lots of those darkies walking around and breathing and everything, and we havenât lynched any of them latterly, so clearly, we are not racists.â

Nobody is asking the president to do anything or a future president to do anything about it. The problem is perception. There is a Confederate flag, and honestly not even the correct one, that symbolizes a time when the South tried to tare apart the U.S. on the grounds that they were not left in their own fiefdoms. They were for state rights insomuch as it let them get away with whatever they wanted locally and many of their state Constitutions enshrined slavery.
I do not understand the heritage argument either. With the current people living their ancestors that may have fought for the South had to have been so far removed that they would not garner morning from current people. Interest of their past maybe, but that does not mean they have to celebrate what they did, just note it. It does not make sense on any level.
Also, saying that they have a woman governor and a black senator is like saying I am not racist because I have black friends or sexist because I have female friends. Not a good argument. The legislature showed itself to be fairly racist by flying a flag that is not historically accurate and to enshrine an era of treason.

The Flag of Southern Treason didnât fly over the South Carolina statehouse until 1961. They started flying it as a challenge to, and in defiance of, the Civil Rights Movement on the 100th Anniversary of the start of the Civil War

My problem with the Confederate flag flying over government buildings is that it represents a different country, and flying it over our buildings is tantamount to treason. You are essentially saying that you want to be under that other countryâs rule, that other countryâs Constitution, that other countryâs morals.
Imagine if Louisiana decided to start flying the French flag over their government buildings? Or Texas flew Mexicoâs flag? Or Alaska decided to hang the Russian flag over Sarah Palinâs old office?
This is the United States of America. If you want to live in the Confederate States of America (a country built by people who seceded because they lost elections and didnât want to have to deal with democracy despite being given the overwhelming advantages of the US Senate and the 3/5ths rule) then either build a time machine or openly rebel.
This flag flying thing is childish, petty treason. Either give it up or actually take up arms.

â⌠what to do with your flag.â
The Confederate States of America doesnât exist any more than Rhodesia does. That is not âyour flagâ but the flag of a failed country founded by people who thought owning other people as property was just fine, one that signed treaties stating it was no more and then its leaders were essentially pardoned by the US. Robert E. Lee became a college President after leading an army in rebellion against his country! Can you imagine any other country in the world allowing that to happen now, much less in the 1800s?
That is a flag that represents treason, bigotry and violence. If that is your flag, you have real issues.
