Will any of the perp politicians back peddle on the issue now?:
Did Republicans jump the gun on the Confederate flag?
Excerpt from the story at the following link with photos:
Politicians were tripping over themselves to call for the Confederate flag to be taken down in the wake of the Charleston shootings. But new polling has found Americans weren't quite so decisive.
In fact, for once, politicians might actually have gotten out ahead of public opinion.

It is especially pleasing, when they find out they are on the wrong side of the fence from the people that they are supposed to represent.
Dear Elected Official,
Ask me - not the media.
Signed,
The guy that elected you.
On Thursday, the two-time Masters champion tweeted his decision to paint over it with the American flag.
Watson won General Lee at an auction in 2012. In January, he got the car autographed by John Schneider, the actor who played Bo Duke.

That's about ignorant, just sell the freaking car..if it offends you that much...he doesn't deserve to won that car. What a POS.

Wow....
Is he going to change the name of the car to the "Gen Grant" too?
Just review the history on how many times the US has entered into the governments business all over the world insisting that freedom of the people must be the "only way".
Actually, the same thing happened to begin the Civil War. The North attacked the South (while the North was selling slaves), under the false reasoning of slaves, when they wanted the products of the South, primarily cotton.
I was born and raised in Alabama. Have traveled to many parts of the world in my 10 years overseas. Travel in over half of the States in the US.
The comments by people who have never spent time in the South readily consider themselves to be authorities on their limited research of factual information on the South. Many depend on the media, unbiased of course, for their info.
During the past 10 - 20 years, I have seldom seen a Confederate flag displayed. Within the past week or so, I've seen hundreds. Ordered one myself, because the buzzards are not going to tell me how to act or think. To me, the flag is simply an item of history and has it's proper place there.
End of rant.
Too old to live...too young to die...

Yes, they acted too rapidly and with too little thought. A common error.
