It's a tool that the haters use to rally hate against people they do not like. To win war you must remove the adversary's ability to make war and that includes removing symbols of their power. This is however just the first step to defeating rebel politics and economics otherwise known as southernomics. Which really is the true evil that the south was.
Yeah true but the point is, or the agreement was, removal of the flag on State buildings. So why are certain groups trying to have it removed from
everything, including personal use (because you know now there will be lots of trouble and confrontations all over the place). It also annoys me that companies jump on the PC bandwagon and just ban or remove things in knee-jerk recations.
Its all sneaky politics anyway. The SC Governor, Nikki Haley, is currently at the start of her second term right, it ends in 2019. Had this flag controversy cropped up near the end of her first term as Governor, I guarantee she
wouldn't have pushed this move to remove the flag because it would have probably affected her re-election. But because she's at the start of her second term, another 4 years to go and she probably knows she won't even try for a third, she can do whatever she wants without any real comeback...I think. Dunno how American politics work, if you can be voted out midway through a term or whatever.
