As much as y'all like to bitch about Duck Tape and term limits, why don't you back up your bitching and run for office yourselves?

I tell my kids, it ain't funny after the third time.
One thing for sure you have never seen me run from a fight.
Either write things worth reading, or do things worth writing.

I voted to remove the flag from the statehouse. I did not vote to prevent you from displaying it.
What is conservatism?
A summary from the Heritage Foundation:
Individual’s use of his God-given free will, whence derives his right to be free from...arbitrary force.
The Conservative looks upon politics as the art of achieving the maximum amount of freedom for individuals that is consistent with the maintenance of social order.
Its overriding principle is “ordered liberty,” which conservatives everywhere are determined to preserve and protect.

*from the Confederate Memorial on the Statehouse grounds.
Exactly. See why he's a politician. Selective omission is still a form of lying.
The flag was placed on the dome of the statehouse for in 1961 to mark the 100 year anniversary of the attack on Ft Sumter. It was supposed to be there one day. Historians say it was left there to defy civil rights movement.
In 2000 it was moved by the legislature to the Confederate monument. It was a compromise location to get it off the dome. It was removed from the monument in 2015.
That is the rest of the story, Sportin.

Our country was founded on principles that simply were not initially followed. It took years and much bloodshed to bring about actual change. We are still undertaking change that is foreign to our upbringing. I have done many things in life I am not proud of. Our forefathers had the right words but we the people are imperfect in the implementation.

I'm always impressed by how well you keep your cool amidst "dissenting opinions".

Should a legislator vote personal convictions or constitutes will within the US and State Constitutions?
If you are asking if the vote was permissible under the constitutions hiw do I decide which way to vote then:
It depends. I am guided by conservative principles for most votes. Moral issues are in fluencies but my faith.
I very rarely poll. The Republican caucus does. Sometimes it is shared with us.
They generally poll general election republicans. I prefer to poll primary voting republicans.
I am in a district made up of 40% democrats. They are from Mars nowadays. I do not put much thought into how they got here from Mars.
Either write things worth reading, or do things worth writing.
I agree it is history and had no place other the states museum.
I have seen more Confederate battle flags in Southern Indiana than all of SC. Even a few in Southern Ohio.
