With Liberals its all about symbols and not real problems—Ban a Flag and not the Knock-out game. Ban Guns and not rampant gang violence. Its simple to pass a ban—soon the flag will be as illegal as it was after the civil war in the south. Then they will ban the state flag as it insults Mexicans, then the US flag without Obama’s face. Then the cross (one can’t wear them to work)—then the Tea Party Flag and any other symbol of “anti-Americanism”.

These are the benevolent days of one-party rule in California. Just wait until the Sacramento asylum goes off its rocker.

Such a law would be in violation of the 1st ammendment. Not that the tyrants in Sacramento ever let that stop them.

Wonder what they think about SCA 5, also drafted and proposed by a Democrat and approved by a Democrat majority in the California state legislature.

1/30/2014 marked one of the darkest days in California’s recent history of politics. On this day, the California Senate, controlled by the Democratic supermajority, approved Senate Constitution Amendment No. 5 (SCA 5), which would repeal provisions of Prop 209 and allow the State of California to deny an individual or group’s rights to public education on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin.

Can we get rid of Lincoln on our legal tender. He killed more Americans than anyone in history.

Thin skinned or what?

The civil war ended in 1865, right?

150 years later, its ripples still tug at the minds and hearts of those offended over trinkets and symbology.

"Hall, who is black, calls the Confederate flag a symbol of racism, exclusion and violence."

Hall lives in blissful ignorance.
