Sunday letters: With Confederate flag demand, Gov Haley finally making SC proud

On Monday, Gov. Nikki Haley was not a Republican; she was the governor of South Carolina, and she did what was best for the state.

She could have done nothing and still would have remained popular within her party. Calling for the removal of the Confederate flag from the capitol grounds was not political expediency, but an example of a politician doing the right thing for the right reason.

I never voted for Gov. Haley, but her passion and eloquence since the tragedy in Charleston has me appreciating the fact that she is our governor.
