Gov Haley demands rebel flag removal

I'm happy the flag is coming down. But it's a knee jerk reaction. Does anyone believe that had it been removed in 2000 instead of relocated to the confederate soldiers memorial this shooting would not have occurred? Likewise, does anyone believe that any of the gun laws proposed after Sandy Hook would have prevented it?

of course it won't be all good. and of course the shooting would still have occurred.
that doesn't mean the flag should remain either. it's too bad it took such a thing to get those bozos to take it down, but it's certainly not a cure all or anything of the sort. but it does remove a blight, one that should have been gone long ago. well, it shouldn't have been put back up. it was done as a collective nose thumbing toward dc back when the civil rights movement was gearing up. it wasn't for heritage, it wasn't for pride, it was to send a message.

well, it is racist.
they can strip it, or not. it's their choice. i haven't heard anyone say the flag should be banned, barred, not sold, not bought. everyone individual can fly whatever bloody flag they wish.
but it should NOT be on property like state capitols, that's just ridiculous.

Indeed. But what does it matter. We are seriously screwed anyway. Legislators are bought, and what they write into law means nothing. This is all pretend.

Please post links to where the decision to stop manufacturing General Lee toys was in any way due to legislation passed by any government, local, state or national. This was a business choice made by a company. They decided continuing to manufacture the toy is bad for business, so they are stopping. This is purely market-driven.

Here are some other toys that are no longer made:

My screed was directed at news which developed this morning, not connected with the flag issue but more so with governmental trends. I sincerely apologize for causing any confusion, consternation or offense.

Yes because the General Lee was painted specifically, and for no reason other, than to promulgate hate. To follow your absurd logic, the Network Executives and everyone that ever watched the television show, as well as any actor that ever participated in the making of the program are all guilty racists by proxy as well.

apparently you are either choosing to ignore, or just don't care, what the confederate battle flag represented and continues to represent. it has NOTHING in common with the rainbow flag.
one is a people trying to get treated equally, the other flew over a people determined to remain supreme over others, to own them. it continued to show that when it started appearing again, during the civil rights movement.
so, yeah, go ahead and ignore all that history...pretend it's just about 'feelings'.

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of Tom Wopat's gorgeousness.

Political correctness is undergoing what is referred to in Latin as "reductio ad absurdum."
