First - I believe that it was long overdue for that flag to come down. The Confederate battle flag or any other flag associated with the Confederacy should never be allowed to fly on public property .. anywhere or anytime. Stick it in a museum flag room. Fly it at your own home if you want .. but it has no place on public property.
Second - South Carolina can show true respect to the late State Senator Reverend Clementa Pickney by passing the minimum wage bill (South Carolina doesn't have one) that he had proposed.
Third - The whole nation .. not just South Carolina nor "The South" .. needs to have a REAL conversation about race and poverty ... and then follow that up with real action to make real change happen (not just the BS change that Obama and the far left Tonko-Pelosi wing of the Democratic Party has been spewing).
Fourth - The nation needs to promote AND PROTECT respect for life from the moment of conception until natural death. We need a Constitutional Amendment to protect all Human Life from conception until natural death -- and stop treating some human life like garbage (i.e. the elderly, the unborn babies in the womb, etc.). We can't break the cycle of death and violence as long as America and politicians like Obama, Pelosi and Tonko refuse to protect ALL human life.

DVOR was doing so well, then he fell into his usual pattern on #4 when he forgot this flag:
The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness. John Kenneth Galbraith
The 1970’s ‘History’ Book That Taught Southerners How Great Slavery Was
Here are some of the highlights of the teachings of Alabama schools:
Text books like this were distributed all across the south, and now, with the resurgence of “southern pride,” states like Texas are at it again, printing their own version of history that doesn’t include little things like the Jim Crow laws.

Should the Democratic party change it's name due to it's racist past?
"Approval ratings go up and down for various reasons... An example is the high post 911 support for GWB even though he could be said to be responsible for the event." --- Box A Rox '9/11 Truther'
Melania is a bimbo... she is there to look at, not to listen to. --- Box A Rox and his 'War on Women'
Should the Democratic party change it's name due to it's racist past?
No more than the Republican Party should change it's name due to it's present racism.

LOL.....Lame and a typical stooge answer.
The GOP's name isn't synonymous with Confederate flag or the 'racist' south.
The Democratic party, however, is synonymous with Confederate flag and the 'racist' south...... Just like the Jim Crow laws are synonymous with the Democratic party, especially with your progressive leftist hero Woodrow Wilson.
So, I'll ask again.

Apparently Bucky didnt' want to respond to my actual answer. The FACT that the Democrat party WAS the party of the Confederate flag (And Southern Racism) but as he should know, that all changed with the civil rights acts of the '60s.
In a decade, most of the CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRATS of the south, either retired or switched to the CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN party ... but they kept much of their RACISM.
As Lyndon Johnson predicted: President Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law on July 2. As he put down his pen Johnson told an aide, "We have lost the South for a generation", anticipating a coming backlash from Southern whites against Johnson's Democratic Party

An example of a Conservative Democrat Racist who then switched parties and ran as a Conservative Republican Racist is none other than KKK's own David Duke.
Duke lost a race for state senator as a CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRAT in 1975 And again in 1979, again as a Conservative DEMOCRAT.
In 1989 Duke won state senate as a CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN.
Duke lost in his US SENATE race in 1990, again as a CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN.
In 1991 Duke lost the Louisiana governor's race. He ran as a CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN.
Duke lost the REPUBLICAN Presidential Nomination in Louisiana primary to GWB.
In 1996 Duke lost his US Senate race... He ran as a CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN.
Duke lost Louisiana congressional race in 1999 as running as a CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN.

Surely any mention of clans man and DEMOCRAT Robert Byrd should be banned. He spent 14 hours filibustering the civil rights act. Oh Yeah...Bill Clinton gave the eulogy praising Byrd at his funeral. He's now a good democrat racist.
DVOR was doing so well, then he fell into his usual pattern on #4 when he forgot this flag:
You and others on the extreme left (like Paul Tonko) can't seem to fathom that Roe vs. Wade is the 20th Century equivalent of the Dred Scott decision and the original constitutional provision that people of color were only to count as a fraction of a human for purposes of the US Census. In this case, Roe vs. Wade turned a human baby in the womb into just another piece of property that the property owner (the mother) could just throw out ..and has tried to make Americans believe that the unborn human baby in the womb is not a real person.
Pro-Abortionists are as bad as Racists. One day, we will succeed in passing a Right to Life Amendment and when that day comes the politicians who supported Abortion will be tossed on to the dung heap of infamy with Nathan Bedford Forrest, John C. Calhoun, Jefferson Davis, George Wallace, et al.
Also -- Right to Life is NOT just about ending abortion. It is about ending ANYTHING that reduces or assaults the value of ANY human life. Right to Life FROM CONCEPTION TO NATURAL DEATH is about ending abortion, racism, oppressive or discriminatory treatment of ANY human person, death penalty and euthanasia.

Byrd was a member of the Old Racist Conservative Democrats. He is gone and so is that party.

Lol...you are offended by a flag over 150 years old. Yet Clansman Robert Byrd that filibustered the civil rights act 50 years ago and died in 2010 is ancient history. Lmao!

Had the Racist Rag been buried 150 years ago, along with it's slavery legacy, I would take little offense to that flag.

Byrd was buried 5 years ago...But his RACIST legacy lives on. This is your cue to start being offended.
