Well...would really like to eliminate guns, but since that is a problem, maybe start with the Viagra that fuels them. Got a good stance to keep that piece of sh#t flag?

What a wretch.

His idiotic comments about the shooting are beyond the pale.. But as tho he felt he'd not let enough stupid fall out of his mouth:


He voted against opening debate about whether to remove the flag from the memorial on Tuesday.

"I think the misuse and the miseducation of the flag has pushed it to this point," he said then.

"Why do we let hate groups dictate how we feel and how we live?" he added. "Hate groups are everywhere. They're just mean people. We just found that out in Charleston."

You, sir, are who needs educating. That flag has stood for something since the day it was first carried by the army of northern Virginia 150 years ago. What it stood for then is what it still means to some now, your revisionist southern apologist history notwithstanding. Wondered who the moron was who voted not to debate. Now I know.

What a wretch.

Guy has the conservative politician's disease...open mouth, insert foot! In their zeal to toe the NRA line, they frequently lament about the lack of guns...if only teachers were armed, and bring your gun to church! I'm not the guy who thinks banning guns would end killing, but this isn't the wild west and it seems obvious that more guns doesn't solve the problem.

Just read an article, and found out...its not just that flag at the sc state capitol that has to be debated and voted on:


Late Tuesday, the board of the Citadel voted to ask the South Carolina General Assembly to amend a state law so that the university can remove a Confederate naval flag from a place of honor in the chapel. A law enacted in 2000, the South Carolina Heritage Act, states that “any monument, marker, memorial, school, or street erected or named in honor of the Confederacy or the civil rights movement located on any municipal, county or state property shall not be removed, changed or renamed without the enactment of a joint resolution by a two-thirds vote of the membership of each house of the General Assembly approving same.”
