    Some people are stupid, how is taking down a flag gonna stop racist killings and radical Nationalists. You need to tackle the problems differently, you need to start from how American children are brought up and taught this by their crazy family members.

    My enemies pretend that I am now caring on the war for the sole purpose of abolition. So long as I am president, it shall be carried on for the sole purpose of restoring the union.

    I would save the union
    My paramount object in this struggle is to save the union, and not destroy slavery, If I could save the union without freeing any slave, I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would do that

    This was a huge debate a decade or two ago. The state won then and they'll probably win again this time. SC flies the confederate flag BECAUSE it's offensive to minorities. It should be called the Troll flag. It's like a big flying N-word.

    Somebody get a truck and a chain already. THE REBELS CAUSEDMORE AMERICAN DEATHS THAN ALL FOREIGN ADVERSARIES COMBINED. Compare 750,000 to the 9/11 total!

    It's absurd how people defend it as "their heritage". That flimsy excuse holds up about as well as claiming that swastikayou had tattooed on your arm isbecause you're reeeeeally into Buddhism.

    That flag is a symbol of treason, slavery, racism and terrorism. The fact that it is still flying in South Carolina says a lot about Amerikkka.

    There's no valid reason for a government building in service of the Union to fly the colors of a seditious and defeated enemy. People can paint their homes with Old Glories for all I care, but this is no different than a German courthouse flying the Prussian flag or a Spanish town hall flying the Umayyad Caliphate's black flag. The Confederacy no longer exists, so there's no point for a public building in service for the nation to use its symbols.

    I really liked the General Lee (1969 Dodge Charger) from The Dukes of Hazard when I was a kid. That car was awesome and had this flag painted on the roof, so to me it has always seemed look and childish to me lol. I hope they dont take it down I think it looks good :)

    The confederate flag deserves to be left the way it is. It's a symbol of SOUTHERN HERITAGE and the HISTORY of South Carolina.

    I didn't hear anything about these rallies before the shooting happened.
    Quit being overly sensitive over a flag that means different things to different people.
