Everyone should pause and think about this particular matter in a less emotional and more logical fashion.

Let's say a person is going to conduct government business on government property. Doesn't it make sense the only flags that should be seen are those of the existing sovereignty?

Why is the property itself the determinative factor? That's a wide lens to view the issue, government display of flags, through.

Should previous flags and emblems not be displayed?

A better lens to look at this through is through a more accurate context that takes into account the specific nature and place in which a flag or emblem is displayed.

Why stop at flags. How about books catalogued in County Libraries. Burn them!! Right?

Emotional hyperbole.

No same logic. Too hot for you to handle?

Sorry, but it's quite a stretch to associate biblioclasm with displaying an historical flag on a government building.

A great many staunch conservative southerners experienced an epiphany after last week's nauseating tragedy. Although it's true some still prefer to ♪ look away, look away ♪ rather than ♫ let it go, let it go ♫ .

Besides, on your property you can still raise your battle flag. Or you can decide to raise your state flag, raise your school flag, raise your freak flag, or any other. It's still your FREE choice!

I wouldn't want to see other flags being removed just to get rid of CSA flags on a technicality. There are some great flags that are technically unofficial that should still be flown on govt property even if they are not the national or state flag.

Just get rid of ones that are racially insensitive and call it a day.

But, but Hitler was a Nazi and they still sell German soldiers at the Walmart. LMFAO

BMW was based upon Slave labor. Nazi slave camps.

BMW dealerships must be vandalized and if you drive one you are an obvious NAZI.

Brilliant, lets justify the flag by mentioning something totally irrelevant. LMFAO

In what world does that equate to the flying of a flag over a state capitol? It's like your brain don't work so good.

Actually, the more accurate comparison here is if BMW started flying a Nazi flag over their corporate offices. There would be issues, and rightly so.

OT but BMW manufacturing in Greer, SC has stated that their employees cannot drive a vehicle to work that has a Confederate Flag affixed to the vehicle. Meaning an employee would not be allowed to have a window or bumper sticker or SCV license plate on their vehicle or Apparel.

Oh the hypocrisy of the Germans!

Keep up ,...the flag that you are referencing is not "flying over the Capitol" merely on the Historical Monument.

Question, should the bronze bust of Robert E. Lee be removed from the lobby of the State House?

Just keeping in step with the NAACP in Charleston this week. They were erecting a wooden crate around George Washington Statue?
