I am not a daughter of the South, so I have no emotional investment in the flag. But I do find it strange that the actions of one sociopath should mar the reputations of millions, as if the flag itself pulled the trigger.
AllenBWest- Matthew 5:9 says “Blessed are the peacemakers” and it would appear Pastor Clementa Pinckney was definitely one of those.
While the mainstream media is decrying the fact that the Charleston shooting victim’s body was carried past a Confederate flag today, the good pastor may not have found it all that offensive.
In 2000, during his first term in the South Carolina State Senate, Pinckney actually voted in favor of H5028, the May 2000 compromise which placed the flag at its current location.
H5028 related to THE PERMANENT PLACEMENT OF THE UNITED STATES FLAG, THE SOUTH CAROLINA STATE FLAG, AND THE SOUTH CAROLINA INFANTRY BATTLE FLAG OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA
You can see here that Pinckney’s name is among the “93 yeas.”
I am so sick and tired of the race baiting, PC police and gender bending. My Mom just turned 90. I’m not suicidal, but I don’t know if I want those genes anymore.
Horsepucky. Pickney wasn’t a peacemaker when it came to protecting the unborn or religious freedom. He voted 5x against the Pain Capable Unborn Child Act which stipulatesmthat 5 month olds in the womb feel pain. He was out campaigning for Hillary Clinton the day before–the same beast who said she will expand abortion rights and that Americans need to change their societal, moral and religious beliefs.
What happened in SC was tragic and satanic but not all preachers are righteous, particularly when you see they align themselves with the immoral and Godless.
Sounds like he should have been carrying a Peacemaker.
Looks like he was one of the good guys. To bad.
Last Fall I was in a Wal-mart and I was wearing my Gadsden Flag T-shirt and jeans. A young black man kept looking at me with what absolutely appeared to be contempt. My guess is that he didn’t know the real meaning of even the Gadsden Flag. How can we expect the wrongly indoctrinated to grasp the true meaning of the Confederate flag.
During the first few days I was hearing on the prog TV that he was very enamored with all things Obama and was even a friend to him. Which would explain why Obama was so quick to jump in and meddle for this tragedy, while he wasn’t so quick for the others- Or didn’t bother at all.
If the person 0ccupying the office of president says the flag is bad, all the lobotomites who voted for him are going to do what their master tells them to do. The flag is guilty. The flag did it. The flag proves that white people are racist… blah, blah, blah …
Communist bastard. They will never know the truth about anything. That’s the plan.
And all this while I thought it was “Blessed are the cheese-makers”!
DH and I and probably 60% of the rest of the people in our country are offended by the Planned Parenthood sign. Can we have them removed?
