Need someone to remove a deck .

I'm very proud to have been born and raised in the south. I would be much prouder if a horrid symbol was not flying at the courthouse.

Like you I am just finding out how these Bubbas on the commission work here. It was cut and dried before you got there. They really only look at the potential for added real estate taxes because SoWal pays the tab for the whole county. Don't mean to be cynical but sadly it is reality.

Exactly ! When I watched that dog and pony show of a meeting I heard things from the pro rag group like, " that flag reminds me of my grandmas fried chicken " and " that flag to me is about hot days". . Did not make that up watch the video. Pathetic and beyond ignorant. They can not define...

Wasn't at the meeting. Glad of that too. But the racism came through loud and clear on the feed. That little dude that looks like he stepped out of Deliverance is riding around Rosemary with his rags a flying. It is owners weekend. Cocktails will be interesting tonight. Couldn't care less that...

Nice try at diversion. Not On Government Property.

Again the implication that decisions were made before the meeting . Again the implication that black citizens of Walton County are too stupid to have opinions with out "some outsiders" (ooooooo scary) telling them what to think or feel. Yes the commissioners are racist. Thought for a minute...

That is so inane . NOT on government property.

Not calling you a liar. Calm down. Actually after I read your post my skin has cleared I don't need to shave I don't need sleep and birds no longer scare me. Not on government property.

Mercy no. The lesser of two evils is still evil. Not on government property.

Mr Nputal I call that BS Mountain. What a place to live .

I call that a very tall b... sh.. mountain!

What have you done to abolish your notion of supremacy? What? And you think there are few former relatives of slaves living here so why bother taking that vile thing off government property ? Really. A few months ago I met the great grand daughter of Claude Neal. Now that is heritage. I met this...

Mr Voice That was bad business. Poor Irish could not afford to go to war so they had to blame some one and they blamed poor black people. Nothing new there. Is that riot your basis for keeping that vile symbol on government property ?

The other African American gentlemen who have decided to attend this year give reasonable explanations. They are attending to make a point by their presence , voting with their feet if you will. There was a vote on the policy of flying that thing. It is not law. I will never accept it and...

Yeah right.an African American man needed pressure to avoid these backwaters. His letter expresses his self dignity. Politics has nothing to do with my stand on this matter. Rather I think about every black person in this county that is insulted and assaulted by ugly relic on government...

.....

Today Virginia banned the confederate flag from license plates and government property. Wonder why?

For sure this is just the beginning. Companies can not risk a national boycott and terrible PR. Sometimes money talks and walks. One would have thought the commissioners loved our county . Guess not.

And your point is what?

No one has ever said we want it "out of public view" as the writer in the story says. Fly it everywhere but not on government property.

Thanks. By your definition rag is indeed the correct term. I know tons of people who do not post on here either and they are rabid about the comments pro rag people put on here.They are incensed over that theatre of a commissioners meeting. I joined 10 of my neighbors night before last as the...

Early on in this thread missy referred to the " flag" as " just a piece of cloth". Bingo.

My close friends call me Cuffy, a term of endearment. I like you and I reckon you can too. There is no middle ground in this matter. Did Misssy or Linda turn coat, err, turn in?

If you are offended then perhaps you need to be offended. As long as that rag flies I will stand insulted and outraged. As long as it flies on government property I will be assaulted each time I see it. My taxes are paying for that rag. Off government property NOW. Stay tuned.

So Missy implies that pro raggers are vandalizing statutes and I offer proof of what was done at Ebeenezer Church and I need to "ratchet" down? The only thing that needs to come down is that rag on public property.

How is that in need of ratcheting down?

Just goes to show ya that that rag is used for intimidation and is a slithery racist symbol. Those good ole boys that set up the rebel rag around Ebineezer Baptist could easily have come from these parts . Don't know though .

Indeed, Leader Of The Band, they need to stayed tuned. I am not finished.

The process did not work. They exchanged rebel flags. That was a cop out. Chicken. Embarrassing and not leadership at all. My maternal great grandfather was a union soldier . He was captured and imprisoned in Andersonville. The conditions were horrid with a death rate of 25%. Andersonville is...

Yesterday some big brave white guys , under the cover of darkness, put up the rebel rag all around Martin Luther King's church, Ebenezer Baptist Church. They were caught on camera. Reckon they were doing that to honor their so called heritage.

Tetra .... Whatever Thanks for the lecture. My God! Your assumptions and stereotyping have made my head go right right round. Eyes wide open now . That rag will come down one day .

I read the info provided to say that count 14 of the complaint was dismissed with prejudice but the court granted a leave to amend the remaining counts.

She has not been vindicated of anything. New pleadings were ordered.

Danny It isn't just " the local blacks" ( your unfortunate words) that wanted that flag down . Everyone with an ounce of human kindness wants those rags gone from public property. Shame on you and all you piously spew. I have read all of your posts on this topic and do believe you are so much...

Good point. I for one will never ever stop fighting blatant racism . The dream never dies.

Why oh why do you want to honor traitors? We need more flags to honor the heritage of all traitors in our countries history. On government property. Stet. Andy There were indeed many speakers both pro and con for removing the flag. There was not any debate or discussion about putting up the...

Danny Missy said "Then entire North(sic) end wanted a compromise. From her verbosity on here I am pretty sure she thinks she is SomeOne! Ha

Danny, Missy said "the entire North wanted a compromise."very sure from her verbosity she thinks she is SOMEONE! Ha

Missy Did the African Americans want a compromise ? Oh wait. They don't count.

The decision was made well before the meeting . Andy posted that there would be a compromise . Then , just a coincidence , two of the members held up a picture of the new racist flag. Ignoring parliamentary procedure. Then lickty snitch , without discussion , a vote on a so called compromise...

Danny Udhelder and the press is not the problem. The flag is the problem. The decision to "compromise" had been made before the first speaker rose . The more press and light shone on this place the better. I just put a call in to the NYT.

Interesting article Teresa. At least Pensacola leaders are not chickens and that city will have a bright future unlike NoWal.

Chickens. That vote simply tries to obscure the wounds. Shame . Embarrassed.

It's only inflammatory if that is your perspective . Like racism.

Chickens. Switching one racist symbol with another. Wow. What leadership. Sickening really . My heart aches for all of us and especially the African Americans that spoke today.

Danny That last dude in your photo fled in women's clothes when the Union closed in on him . A better , honorable man to cite might be Gen Robert E Lee who surrendered with honor and dignity and went on to pen introspective letters, diaries and recollections about the futility of war and of...

Danny No wallets would still get a few of my bucks but only in proportion to the percentage of children that go to schools up there. So let her fly.

Misty Please tell him that even the bib overalls are made in China.

Danny Flying that flag is the very last way to get jobs in North Walton . Research a bit who Nicki Haley consulted and who put pressure on her tp take that rag down, follow the money. Keep that thing up and NoWal will remain economically depressed. No national company will locate here even with...
