time to let go?

He may have been right about a lot of things over Obama (so we're most thinking people) but his latest drivel over the so called racist confederate flag makes me realize he is just a politician. He sways in the direction of the people he wants to attract while boldly assuming he will keep his supporters.

I think this call to remove the flag is unjust and ignorant. These type of cries from blacks (yes other races cry foul too) just makes me believe they would rather have a trumped up excuse for their situation rather than dealing with their true problems. Sorry for the rant.....

I just got done, mounting another flag to the corner of my house, some call it Old Glory, with it's Stars and Stripes it cast a shadow on all other flags, it's the only flag that touches my heart. when I see a Rebel Flag " confederate flag " it reminds me of Slavery and the Civil war, and I wish we had never had either.

I'm from rebel flag ground zero. They are as common as hair on a hogs back where I am from and it doesn't remind me of the war or slavery. It reminds me that I am from the south and I am proud to be from there. I don't own a reb flag and I don't want one but if someone else wants to have one they should have the right to do so and I will not support any effort to take away that right. Think about what old glory represented to the Indians out west back in the 1800's. I bet when they saw that red, white and blue flag and those white soldiers coming over the hill they were terrified, especially the women.
