Here's a word you do not like: TRUTH.
:lol: I don't think you are real.

I asked you to substantiate your claim that she was supportive of keeping it up. If you can't, then that's fine. However, it's pretty bad etiquette to simply lob out a claim without anything to back it up other than your words.
I know you don't have a good memory but I remember it well.
That beautiful flag flew high atop the Capitol in SC until only about 12 or 13 years ago. I have a framed picture of my uncle standing in front of the Capitol building and the flag flying high and proud atop the dome.
What you remember is irrelevant in this discussion. I remember a time when I couldn't afford new shoes every month. I can't demonstrate having existed in that state today. However, I definitely remember it. Does my memory of that prove anything? No.
That's great, but your statement was that Nikki Hailey was supportive of it. I asked for you to show that support.
Why do you think it didn't come down sooner? Please think about it.
We can't have hurt feelings. Ever again. For any reason.
I frankly don't think this symbolic act is all that efficacious.
9 people get murdered by a gun-totting nut full of hatred.
Response: some piece of cloth gets taken down from some roof.
Sure, it's nice to reject a symbol of hatred, but I'd be more impressed if some measure got actually implemented that would keep guns out of the hands of the nutcases, hopefully the same day. Had the governor signed the bill for taking down the flag AND signed a bill to implement some objective measure to decrease the likelihood of such hate crimes, I'd be applauding a lot more vigorously.
Oh we can, as long as the feelings being hurt, and rights being stepped on are that of any Conservative, Christian, or Southern persuasion
Well, I am neither Conservative nor Liberal, but I am Christian, and I was born and raised in the South, and my feelings aren't hurt, and my rights haven't been stepped on.
Go figure. :shrug:
A governor whose parents are Indian, surrounded by blacks and whites, signing a bill to remove a symbol of hatred 50 years after it was put there by a government that had just 2 years earlier enforced segregation. Gay marriage is now legal in all 50 states and my Cuban wife just made me tamales. What a time to be alive.
Ok, so, because YOU don't feel a particular way, I guess you speak for everyone now eh?
South Carolina has now joined other states in rebuking confederate ideology and all it includes. Don't like it? Move to Somalia. :shrug:
You said she was supportive of it flying. Now, cough up the evidence or quit wasting my time with unverifiable stories about years when she wasn't even governor.
Not really--one state still refuses to surrender to the North. . .

How ironic. :lol: You are taking me to task for "speaking for everyone now" when you are trying to do the same thing, by saying that Conservatives, Christians and Southerners have their feelings hurt, or are being stepped on.
LOL Again with the martyr syndrome. My heart bleeds for you. Another relic of a despicable era in our history is put to rest and you cry like babies. And I don't mean the civil war either, It's an era us older folks remember well.
You "older folks"? That's a real hoot....:lamo How old do you think I am?
On to your stupid pic bomb...So, you only prove my point dude...See, if I don't agree with you, you feel the need to call me a racist, and continue to attack me....How very tolerant of you. :roll:
No, I speak only for myself, but living here in SC, I think I can relate the general mood of people I come into contact with on the issue....Sorry you don't like that.

And how do you suppose we legislate what is in some peoples heart?
