A South Carolina lawmaker is catching flak after sending out Christmas cards depicting the Confederate flag waving in front of the South Carolina state house recalling "memories of a happier time." The card, sent out by Rep. Chris Corley, was most likely referring to a time as recent as July, before lawmakers voted to remove the flag following the murder of nine people in a historically black Charleston church by a white supremacist with an affinity for the Confederate flag. In the card, which Corley said he only sent to Republican colleagues, he suggests that those who voted to remove the flag ask God for forgiveness for their betrayal. (Associated Press) Consultants are currently proposing that the state spend $5.3 million on a new Confederate memorial that will display the flag that once flew on state grounds.
