Looks like those boys wasted alot of gas, time and tread parading around to keep the flag flying in Crestview. Another Confederate surrender. I wonder when WACO will come around?

They had a better time driving around than many of you sitting here whining about it.
Driving around with your confederate flag is fine with me and why not? That's your own business.

(It is also my opinion that this is how it should have been done to start with. Change the law first..don't just come in showing your backside demanding it be taken down!)
BILL FILED IN SENATE TO BAN CONFEDERATE FLAG ON ALL STATE PROPERTY
A bill filed in the Senate would ban the display of the Confederate flag or emblem or “any flag or emblem used by the Confederate States of America or its military or naval forces at any time within the years 1860 to 1865″ on property owned or leased by the state.
“In Walton County and many other locations in Florida, officials still fly the Confederate flag proudly” said Sen. Geraldine Thompson, a Democrat who represents Orlando’s District 12. In August, the Greater Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce decided not to hold a long scheduled conference in Walton County next year due to the county’s failure to remove a Confederate flag from its courthouse.
Thompson said “if enacted, this bill, SB 154, will require State, county, and local municipalities to remove the flag off their properties, we can’t wait on them to make good faith decisions. Thompson’s has been assigned four committee stops, A companion bill, HB 243, was filed by Rep. Daryl Rouson, D-St. Petersburg, on Sept. 24. It has no committee assignments yet.

- A committee may stop action, or "table" a bill it deems unwise or unnecessary.
