Wow! So a bunch of affluent mixed race baiting private enterprise smokers are trying to destroy Walton County and maybe even the United States. I'm not sure I'll be able to sleep tonight.

When politics gets involved (social or economic) there is one end that seeps benefits and the other end that gets burned. When we ALL figure that out we will learn how to NOT let our ideology get in the way of our NEED to be united against economic inequality (because that leads to limited access to freedom). We all are enjoying our paradise at the moment but this issue is the beginning of something very political hidden behind a controversial and adversarial social issue. If we let (not sure what we can do at this point) this happen then we are going to have to accept many changes and not just the Confederate Flag. Those that want to remove the flag for the right reasons (respect to the African American community) are very short sighted. Those of us who would like to keep the flag are also short sighted but did not open the can of worms. Those who want to remove the flag for any other reason are simple economic soldiers for the cigar smokers! mputnal3

Affluent race baiter(s) yes!! Smokers? Probably not so much. The U.S.? The media has already done that and have been pretty successful at it for years, with the help of professional race pimps like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, the NAACP, the KKK and members of our own Government both in the House and Senate.

Sounds like there is some missing time here. Admit it, you're from New Jersey and I'll assume love hockey. Sheesh.

Assuming is the mother of all screw ups.
I'm bored with sports in general...although I do like half time, cheerleaders, tailgate foods, coors light, popcorn and boxing.
The years I don't remember would be (birth) the 3 months out west right after I was born, vaguely remember the time spent in Japan, AZ. NM, CA and parts of LA. Hard to define roots when you're a military brat but the most settled (or my formative years) were in TX. and FL.
Never much cared for the northern states cause it's to damn cold and they get lots of snow. Yuck! The older I get the more I hate the cold.

That's a real stretch.
For someone who just registered to this board you sure jumped right in with the stupid comments didn't you?

STATE SENATOR SEEKS TO BAN CONFEDERATE FLAGS FROM ALL PUBLIC PROPERTY IN FLORIDA
Florida state Sen. Geraldine Thompson (D-Orlando), wants to ban the flying of the Confederate flag on any public property.
Thompson has filed a bill to ban the Confederate flag from government facilities in Florida. She says she doesn’t buy the argument about “heritage.” She filed a bill this week at the state capitol for the 2016 legislative session that, if passed, would ban the display of the Confederate flag on all government-owned property.
Thompson takes exception with the flags that fly at memorial monuments at courthouses in Marion and Walton counties. On July 14th, Walton County commissioners voted unanimously to replace the “Battle Flag” of the Confederacy with the more accurate and historical official flag of the Confederacy in a compromise with those who were offended by the one that has flown there since 1964 – the 100th Anniversary of the War Between the States.
Renewed scrutiny of the rebel flag in public spaces emerged this summer in the wake of a massacre of nine churchgoers in South Carolina. The alleged white supremacist gunman posed with a Confederate battle flag in a photo taken before the shooting. Since, South Carolina removed the flag from its statehouse grounds and Alabama did the same. Mississippi retains the battle flag that’s incorporated in its state flag,
State representative Dennis Baxley (R-Ocala) noted if the bill came to the committee he chaired it would die there. “It is unfortunate that we’ve gotten tied up in this discussion of cultural cleansing. The problem is once you start moving on this, then it goes to monuments, then it goes to roads, then it goes to disturbing graves,” Baxley said.
