SOMETHING FOWL IS AFOOT IN COCK COUNTRY

Everyone gets so worked up over state flags with Confederate emblems on them. Personally, I think they should be raising hell over the South Carolina flag:



This looks like the flag of a jihadi cult nation. Throw in a star or a camel, we've got real issues.

I think I'll register my indignation in person the next time I'm in Dar-es-Columbia.

Good point, my dear.

The damn moon has to be pointing in the other direction and then a star has to appear....

Sorry, fresh from yet ANOTHER diversity training shit, ooops, CLASS I had to attend.

Too bad I couldn't make myself upchuck then and there.

How PC do we have to get?

Totally suck.

Like the "interim" flag Georgia used for a couple years, this one appears to have been designed by somebody's 9 year old daughter on her imac.

The Palmetto state flag is as beautiful as it is symbolic. The "moon" really isn't a moon at all. This shape was derived from the gorgets worn upon the uniforms of Revolutionary soldiers in South Carolina (according to Col. Moultrie--not that you'd recall who he was). If you actually had a clue regarding this state's history you might know this. The Palmetto tree is also significant to South Carolina's history dating from the Revolution. Although it was added in 1861 after South Carolina seceded from the Union. Try enlightening yourself to a bit of useful knowledge rather than revealing your woeful ignorance. From what I've read thus far the flag best representing your line of thought would be blank.

Since South Carolina was the first state to seceed from the Union, whatever was the recognized South Carolina State Flag at that moment in time and history for all practical purposes was the flag of the new CSA nation.
I assume that it was the blue flag with the cresent which was a symbot of the "Sons of Liberty" of Revolutionary times, and the Palmetto Tree which also had Revolutionary ramifications.
For me, I love that South Carolina Flag.
