Petition to Ban Confederate Flag from Walton County Courthouse

We are not trying to change your beliefs, but when you insist on flying a symbol of your beliefs over government property, it certainly makes the whole country think our County Government supports your beliefs. And we are not proud of that.

No one asked you to be proud of it.

“How a government, an organization, or a community collectively balances these perceptions and regards the flag is a product of choice or, more accurately, a result of a decision-making process,”

I do not think it is the commissioners who lack a love for our county. I also think being sore and hurting people because you do not get your way shows a lack of maturity.

That road goes both ways you know.

It boggles my mind that so many people continue to make absurdly false comparisons, but then when I remind myself that they were born raised and most importantly educated in Walton County, it starts to make sense.

Another false assumption on your part. Not everyone who supports the "keeper" position were born and raised here.

I'm not talking about "keepers" specifically, I'm talking about people who make half-witted comparisons, analogies, and rationalizations. I think North Wacko County wins first place in that category.

CONFEDERATE FLAG STAYS PUT IN CRESTVIEW…FOR NOW

In a packed chamber last night, residents gathered in Crestview to voice their support and opposition to the Confederate flag at the Bill Lundy Memorial.
Mayor David Cadle had it removed July 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] without City Council approval. The council had it restored until they could consider the issue as a whole.
Nearly 100 people addressed the City Council over 4 hours. A preliminary vote by the council ended in a tie or 2 to 2. Therefore, the Confederate Flag will stay put until the Council can consider all the testimony from last night’s meeting.
They take up the issue again on September 14th.

Those type of comments endear people to your way of thinking how? Oh yeah, they don't!!!

Just driving through South Walton near Rosemary Beach saw a truck with two rebel battle flags flying on the end of the truck. One reading "the south will rise again" this was right behind the Village of South Walton. So don't act like it's only people in the north part of the county who have some common sense. More power to the states vs one big government how the founding fathers intended

What an embarrassment. My father fought in World War II for the United States, not a bunch of yahoos flying rebel flags hollering states right. What an embarrassment.
