Coker 181 Sandy Acres Way Saint Stephen SC 29479 mycroftholmesl4@yahoo.com 8435672126 GOVE Removal of Confederate Flag Dear Ms. Haley, I am against the removal of the Stars and Bars from the Memorial which is on the Capital grounds. I shall not support any who choose to support the removal of this flag. The American Flag was flown over slavery for 85 years prior to the War Between the States and this nation had slavery from the day the first settler stood upon it's shores. The CSA Flag flew for only 5 years and has never stood for the hatred that people today use it for to flaunt how the negro has been kept down by the whites. Since the end of the WW2, the negroes have had the same chances as anyone else to better themselves. Just look at Africa, which went from colonialism to become a lost continent that it is today. Compare that to what American has become today during the same period. People who work together and try to better themselves can achieve much. The people who try and divide each other over hate, or color, or race end up destroying themselves. We need to remember our history so we will never repeat it. That CSA Flag is worth remembering! If we do not, then soon we will be divided by race and language and we will lose our national identity! Next, if will be the Mexicans wanting everyone to learn Spanish. Or Indians wanting sufferance and justice and their lands restored. When are we just going to be Americans? Not as long as you and your Quisling politicians give in to every person who is 'offended' by something. Stand up and tell them if they don't like to look at the flag, they can damn well look somewhere else. I shall turn away from supporting any GOP candidates and vote left wing and stand back and see this country go to hell. I cannot support anyone who turns their back on our history. R.J. Coker P.S.(Let the country go socialist for all I care, I will laugh when the country has burned and turned into our enemies like Russia and China, for we deserve no better fate.)
