South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley has caved to the demands, primarily from the left that the Confederate flag be removed from the statehouse. Somehow it seems that the GOP is being blamed for the flag and the racism that the left attributes to it. Democrats have been disowning their own history since they learned that it could get them elected as the country became less racist.
It's true that the mentally ill shooter, who killed 9 African-Americans in a Bible study class in Charleston, posed in several photos with the Confederate flag. Is that a reason to ban it? Hitler posed inside a Volkswagen--should we ban them from our streets? If it really would reduce racism in this country, then I fully support banning that flag.
But the worst part is how the GOP is afraid to attack the leftists who somehow make it sound like Republicans are all racists and they are the party of the "goody-goodies."
Gov. George Wallace of Alabama was clearly a racist and he was, wait for it . . . a Democrat. He posed with the Confederate flag and Democrats never made a fuss about it.
Clinton-Gore used it in their campaign.
To paraphrase Dr. Benjamin Carson, it doesn't matter if you have Confederate flags all over the place or in a museum, it isn't going to change the racist mentality in this country. In order to do that, you need to change the hearts of people in this country.
And the Al Sharptons of the world are doing everything they can to keep that from happening.
