: FLAG OFF MY CAPITOL IN GA!~Email-me
The confederate flag should be removed from the SC Capitol dome and from all State Flags such as Georgia because it does not represent all the people of the State. My GGrandad and GGGrandad fought proudly for Georgia in the last battles of the war but they knew when it was over and so should we. These flag battles are just more of the same and we will lose them all eventually because we don't know when to quit. We are United States citizens now and we can honor our heritage as we see fit but should not poke it in the faces of others who do not appreciate it.
