[quote=MikeL][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=MikeL][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Something very important is being lost in this discussion.  People are spending a lot of time talking about the Civil War, but SC did not start flying the confederate flag on the capitol grounds until the 1960s, and this was done as a symbol of resistance to the burgeoning civil rights movement (this point is very well documented by contemporaneous statements).  So all this talk about the Civil War is really besides the point.  The stated purpose of flying the flag (at least in SC) is hostility to equal rights for African-Americans.[/quote]

This is exactly right. It is ironic that posters telling us we don't understand South Carolina don't seem to know about the history of South Carolina.

If the Libtards had their way, radical Islamists would be flying their colors over the Capitol of South Carolina:

What do you base that silly statement on?[/quote]

Jeff - I think you've been tricked. Do you not know what the flag above actually is?

Meant Mike, not Jeff. Sorry.[/quote]
Yes, I know what that flag is.
And I think my sarcasm meter is off today.
Good one, whoever did that![/quote]
