Gov. Haley to call for removal of Confederate flag from Capitol grounds [W:154]

Should the flag be moved-removed from all State Buildings?


  • Total voters
    70
Based on what Goshin said earlier, I believe she'd be breaking the law if she did that. Goshin I believe mentioned that a law was passed requiring a 3/4ths majority in the state senate to remove the flag from the capital.

I believe it is a 2/3rds majority. My question is what is the penalty for breaking the law?


Rhetorical question: Does it take a 2/3rds majority approval for any other redecorating ideas?
 
It's the right of the people of South Carolina to decide how the flag is displayed on State property. Personally I don't care what they decide. I have no dog in the fight, so to speak. If the Governor wants to remove it and the people support her, it should be removed. If the people don't support her, she will be removed. That's the way democracy works. it's the tyranny of the majority.

9 out of 10 people support gang rape?

Well, it was up in like 4 or 5 threads but whos counting Right?
 
So the South decided to secede from a North that had no problem with slavery? And then cited long lists of grievances about how the North was increasingly hostile to slavery as their reason for seceding? That's your interpretation of the historical record? LOL....



Some of us are recognizing the recent, documented history of that flag. Such as when it was first raised above the S.C. capitol, what else was happening at that time, that other states bitterly defending Jim Crow and the continued subjugation of blacks also adopted that flag in that same era, etc.

The North was hostile to slavery ?

It had been legal for over 80 years in the North.

Thats some hostility there....Lol.

And no, Tens of thousands of young men didn't go off to risk their lives because they wanted to keep slavery legal.

The typical Confederate soldier was a farmer, working class individual that couldn't afford a slave if he wanted to.
 
Great news, I heard they are giving a discount at Five Flags over Texas amusement park.
 
Well MC....the leftwad don't want flags on Government Buildings or property. In any States.....so I say lets oblige them. Passing laws that no flags but the Nation Flag can be on the premises.

This would mean no Flags on government property whatsoever. Not for Protests, not for supports of any groups or the issues they stand for.

This would include the lefts LGBT Flags and any other flags the left likes to walk around with.

Lets watch and see them cry and whine about that issue now.

You really don't get it, do you?

How does that equate again? Are 9 or 10 people the total population of a state? Do you always jump from 1+1 = Mandarin Orange

9 out of ten people enjoy sunshine? Just a reminder too. :lamo

Mornin OS. :2wave: Looks like the left was able to make an issue out of it. As now Mississippi is going to do something about their Confederate Flag too.



Mississippi legislator advocates removing Confederate design from state flag.....

Mississippi House Speaker Philip Gunn has pushed to have the confederate flag removed from the state's official flag. CBSN's Kristine Johnson has his statement.....snip~

They could probably leave it up, but whether or not they want to, at a certain point they look like they are standing in solidarity with the shooter by keeping it flying. It is poor taste, but it is their state, and so if that is how they want to portray themselves to the world that is their right. History and tradition are great but I do not see people walking around with a Swastika just because it meant "good fortune" before it was taken up by another group.

Looks like you were the one who don't get it.....which is why you were asking, Why don't the governor just order it to be taken down. :lamo

Don't worry.....they haven't passed the law yet that no other flags can be flown on government ground. When they do.....I will make sure you get the message. :mrgreen:

You clearly don't get it. I am not surprised.

You think the Swastika and the Confederate battle flag are comparable ?

Not here, but in south Asia the swastika is a normal sighting.

I don't really see the point in this hubbub. A mental case kills 9 people and thousands go nuts on a waving piece of cotton. Next they will tell you wearing said cotton apparel will result in jail time.

Look up the history of the Swastika prior to the Nazis. If anything, I think it is a better symbol than the confederate flag.

Cmon, that's no reason to jump into the frying pan.

You already tried this line. It didn't work. Needs red pepper and jalapenos.

I accept your concession.

Mornin Samhain. :2wave: Hillary said.....its just guns.

But BO made sure it would cover the entire week and then run into this coming weekend. As he scheduled himself to run down and pay a visit to Charleston this coming Friday.(got his round of golf in out in Los Angeles after the fundraisers he was partying at when he felt a brief moment of outrage and then said something about the Confederate flag.)

Plans to read the Eulogy for his friend the Pastor who was also a Demo Politician.
 
Well.....only you can understand that Grand Illusion. Whatever you do don't play the whole Styx Album. Just sayin. :mrgreen:

You have to actually say something before you say, "Just sayin...".
