The South Carolina flag will be back. Sooner or later, and most likely, sooner:
Three years after South Carolina removed the Confederate flag with pomp and circumstance from the grounds of the S.C. State House, the flag’s shadow fell across the north lawn of the state capitol again Tuesday.
In what has become an annual ritual, about 30 flag supporters stood in the warm morning sun to honor what they consider their heritage, placing the flag back in the place where it stood for 15 years as “Dixie” blared over loudspeakers.
Organized by the S.C. Secessionist Party, the 10 a.m. ceremony marked the third anniversary of the flag’s removal from the State House grounds.
This disrespect for native history is a useful reminder of why immigrants and the descendants of immigrants should never be permitted to vote or hold political office.
