Does Confederate flag remind Democrats of who they are, and what they've done?

The flags of the Confederacy are historical
relics. Expect when Democrat politicians
lose out in debating substantial issues. 

The day poll results were published showing Democrat gubernatorial candidate Vincent Sheheen being routed by Republican Gov. Nikki Haley, Sheheen moved to exploit racial politics.

Sheheen said Wednesday that he wants South Carolina to remove the Confederate flag that flies on Statehouse grounds.

To date Sheheen has struck out on data breach, DSS and fibs he's told about job production. Is he now following the lead of the Obama Administration and trying to stir up race-based hatred as a strategy?

He may as well. Nothing else seems to be working.

A little flag history!

Former Democrat Gov. Frtitz Hollings put the Stars and Bars on top of the Statehouse, and Republican David Beasley took it down.

Sheheen was joined by the Democrat candidate for lieutenant governor Bakari Sellers and several Democrat mayors Wednesday in calling for the removal of the flag.

The flag is viewed as noting more than a relic of the past by South Carolinians. For Democrats it is a political football in line with their practice of fighting harmless boogey-men, while real issues go untended - or handled in a disastrous way - by their party.

Ironically, the Civil War, from which the flag originated, was fought after a Democrat candidate lost to Abraham Lincoln, a Republican.

Maybe Sheheen and Sellers want to remove the flag because a Democrat put it there. Not to mention Democrats were slave-owners and led our state into a devastating war to protect the unproductive doomed-regardless institution of slavery.

Democrats have a lot to be ashamed of. Maybe the flag reminds them of who they are.
