Yes, the Rebel Flag Should NOT Fly in Government Buildings

My official policy statement-
The South lost the war.
The rebel flag was not flown at state government buildings until the 1950's and 60's when Democrat segregationists implemented it's display.
There are historic reasons to fly the flag in museums and battlefield memorials, but it is a bad fit for any government building.
It shouldn't be banned anywhere- anyone who wishes to fly the stars and bars should be able to, but government time and money should not be wasted maintaining this stupid tradition that was brought on by segregationists.

no ones banning it. they're removing it from government buildings. it doesn't belong there and never did.
this probably would've never happened if they lowered it to half mast after the shooting.

A lot of people confuse removing it from a state building with some kind of stomping of 1st Amendment rights. It's not.
Remove it and you will shut up a certain group of whiny assholes at least temporarily.

They have legit gripes.
I'm talking about the Al Sharptons, the social justice douchers and Rachel Dolezals of the world.
It's not even Obama's place to gripe, his forefathers were never slaves and he was raised in comfort by white grandparents.

problem ALREADY is niggers attacking anyone with the flag on their clothes, car or anything you own
what is that saying? niggers ruin everything
I say this on behalf of black people who hates niggers too
this was a victory for everyone, especially blacks that have had to live with that symbol being flown by the government, but niggers are even fucking that up

You do realize the Confederate Flag is not flying over a government building, don't you? It flying over a Confederate War Memorial near the State Capitol.

On Capitol grounds. 100feet from the front door. Don't kid yourself on the location and intentions.

Then all those libtards need to get rid of the anti-christian gay rainbow flag if they want things to be fair. It's a message of hate toward Christians trying to practice religious freedom.

How about images of Democrat KKK Grand Dragon, WVA Governor and Senator Robert KKK Byrd? Should those be removed from all public property, too?

Yes. The confederate flag is history, but is offensive. But other parts of history are offensive too. Remove anything offensive. This also includes any representation of Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi. They both look hideous and offend me to the point of vomiting.

what a bunch of morons
the flag had about as much to do with that psycho killing nine people as the boots he wore or the jacket with the s. African patch on it or his hair style
but it was a flag that caused it all
a flag you idiots have been trained to believe represents slavery
which also had nothing to do with the nine murders
white guilt is a horrible thing
you all deserve more than youre fair share

It is a defeatist flag, it should be honored due to that fact that many good people died under it and should not be called a "rag". It should not fly from any US Government building.
