At any rate, you made a comment that sent a shock wave down my spine and I'm sure I was not alone. For your information, the Confederate flag is NOT a symbol that divides us, PERIOD! It is more of an excuse for the racial dividers and agitators the likes of Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, even Obama and the no good Eric Holder! It is also an excuse for multitudes of Negroes (Yes, I did say Negroes because that is what they are whether they or you want to admit the fact) that have yet to accept the American way of life after 151 years of "freedom" that resulted in thousands of lives from the "North" and, of course, the same for the "South." You spoke of assimilation into the American way of life for those who come to this country. What about those already here, like Negroes? Far too many Negroes can't and won't get a grip on their miserable lives because they want to play the blame game. Not only that, they don't want equality, they want control. This sounds like Muslims! They are not satisfied with living "free" in this country, they want everything to be free and the rolls of freeloaders bear this out. Who lines up every holiday grabbing every expensive toy and anything else they can get their hands on all for free and then throws it back in the faces of those who were trying to be of help? I live near Macon, Georgia (thank God I'm far enough away from that city of scum) and each evening on the news there is a "mug" shot of one Negro after another who committed every crime you can imagine. If they're not killing off one another, it's some poor innocent person who happens to be of a much lighter skin color. They act like animals as evidenced in Ferguson, MO, Baltimore, MD, and far too many other places to even count! I somewhat feel sorry for the small number of law abiding, hard working, family oriented, God fearing Negroes who have to associate with the criminal element that make up the vast majority of their kind! I wouldn't be surprised if that same small number feel the same as I. But, how do you separate the good from the evil? Perhaps it is time to take off the kid gloves and call these evil folks exactly what they are. That's why using the Confederate flag as you have will do more harm than good. This just adds more fuel to the out of control fire! They got you to do away with the flag; what's next? I do believe that the people of South Carolina regardless of skin color are far more menial than those of their counterparts in the Northern States and that speaks volumes. However, please stop finding reasons to fault the actions of the Civil War for what goes on today. There is no comparison! I am Southern born (result of World War II), but northern raised. I don't blame either side for what occurred 150 years ago, and, in fact, I see a similar situation occurring today with the corruption, animosities, and terrible liberalization that has swept across out great nation and across the entire world. I hope you are aware that one of the major concerns that led South Carolina to secede from the Union in 1860 was the Federal Governments abuse of States Rights that is the same thing occurring today. As governor, you should be enraged at what the Federal Government has done on the matter of States Rights. The Tenth Amendment is virtually worthless at this stage and will be invalid if you and other States don't put a foot down, and NOW! The chatter is that you are one who is on the minds of some for potential Vice-President. If I were you, I wouldn't start looking for a residence in Washington nor would I give up the current job anytime soon. There may just be someone who has different ideas who will eventually become second in command!
