I hope and pray to see the day when we are no longer a part of this sorry excuse for a conference.

Why can't you despise the state that is an embarrassment in regards to refusing to take down a piece of cloth.

So, how man laws have congress/state senate/local govt.

passed that are laws for life?
When taxes are cut/raised they debate new budget bills every year.
It's like that with everything. Just because you compromise today, doesn't mean a compromise should be for life.
Your side or group or party will keep on trying to reach certain goals by trying to get more votes for their cause each time.

It cheapens the flag to have it flying above the state house

or on the state house grounds like we're still at war.
They should honor it where it brings the most honor to the ones who died by putting it under glass.
It cheapens the deaths of the brave Southerners who died in the war to use it for cheap political games today, especially back in '62 when it was originally placed atop the state house.

I should have added

The way to settle this now would be to put up the "Stars and Bars" which was the first Confederate national flag and has no connection to the battle flag. I would have been the flag they raised when South Carolina seceded anyway.
Here is a link to the flag http://www.crwflags.com/FOTW/FLAGS/us-csa1.html

That doesn't mean it belongs on the seat of government...

the only flags that need to be on the seat of government are those that are sovereign over the citizens of the state. The Confederacy doesn't exist any more and its flag doesn't belong on the Statehouse. It belongs in a museum with other relics from that era. If you're going to keep it on the Statehouse, why not keep the flags of Britain, Spain, and France? All of those flags at one time were sovereign over the citizens of South Carolina. They are just as relevant now as the Confederate flag is.

You offer NOTHING constructive and do nothing but harass me (as if that's anything unusual around here). You're an embarrasment to Clemson and all forward thinking people in South Carolina. Oh yeah, there aren't many of those.

It's a wonder sharpton, jackson and their naacp/acorn thugs haven't gone after the stars and stripes and all the monuments of Washington and Jefferson.
Remember what the good rev. wright said about America?
Give it time and just keep giving in.

I despise neither

But in this case the only group to blame is the ACC (and the NCAA by setting the example). I don't blame the NAACP as they are, by nature, a political organization. They are, whether we agree with their judgment or nor, behaving as is normal for a political organization.
Now the NCAA (and the ACC) is not a politcal organization and should stay away from these "debates".
I doubly blame the ACC for caving to pressure ( real or perceived ) ***AFTER *** they made their initial decision.
