The flag is a symbol of racism to some, of Southern pride to others. The flag remains on the South Carolina Statehouse grounds, but some want it moved to another location behind the Capitol, or removed entirely. Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee for president in 2012, has called for the flag’s immediate removal in the wake of Wednesday evening’s fatal shootings of nine black people at a Charleston church.
“Everyone’s being baited with this question as if somehow that has anything to do whatsoever with running for president,” Huckabee said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” ”My position is it most certainly does not.”

See what happened bwhen they told kids they couldn't fly the American flag at school? Every car/body had a flag flying and alot of support. It will be as strong as a response or stronger! The pride of the south is second to none. It's not California where they vote flags banned. From white to blacks. They will satand for the Confederate flag. And yes I said blacks. Many black people fly that flag to in the south.
The flag stands for rebelling against the government.
Yes! And that is why the corrupt, "liberal" government will use anyone's excuse to remove it, if they can.
"The flag stands for rebelling against the government." So, what's your point?
Well, his point is that the flag represents a country that no longer exists and shouldn't be used in an official capacity.
That flag was put on the capital building in 1962. Nothing historic about it, placed there at the very height of segregation and was there to remind blacks of their place.
