Finally!
I remember that The Citadel wanted to remove the flag there, too, but needed permission from the legislature because of the law that was passed. Any progress there?

It smells weird to me that this is something to be celebrated with fanfare. Seems like it should be done with as little fanfare as possible.

Meanwhile, in Marion County Floriduh, the Flag of Treason is raised again.
One step forward, another step back into the cracker abyss.

I know it’s early, but I threw back a shot of Jack as the flag came down. Somehow it seemed the thing to do.

After 53 years on South Carolina Capitol grounds, the Confederate flag placed there by the anti-civil rights Democrats of the time has finally come down under the Republican leadership of South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. Both Republican dominated South Carolina House and Senate with an overwhelming majority have voted to bring that flag down.
BTW, nice try Mrs.Pelosi on trying to steal the limelight of this historic event by throwing a temper tantrum in the US Congress, your childish behavior will be remembered.
Who let the bitchdog out of it’s kennel?

So many similarities between misinforming troll, Stormfront, and the lies that feed the hate in Dylan Roof.

Rep. Jenny Horne really delivered the smackdown to her repub colleagues. The debate would continue and that flag would still be flying if those morons had their way.
Also, someone who attended today just remarked that that flag and what it represented was “psychological oppression.” She definitely nailed it.

Fify.
Those were conservatives. None of them reside in the Democratic party now. The GOP is now the party of racism, and conservatives had to be beaten down by Democrats to the point that they would begrudgingly surrender their beloved symbol of white supremacy. The rebel flag issue is a negative sum game for conservatives. You lost.
