One of the most repulsive truths about liberal bigots is their insatiable
appetite for tearing down anything American in order to build up anti-
American hatred.
The issue over the Confederate Flag is an excellent example.
For instance, in liberal-infested California, unglued politicians
recently passed a bill prohibiting the sale or display of the Confederate
flag.
California state government departments will be prohibited from
selling or displaying items with an image of the Confederate flag under a
bill that passed the Assembly on Monday.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - California state government departments will be
prohibited from selling or displaying items with an image of the Confederate
flag under a bill that passed the Assembly on Monday.
AB2444 by Assemblyman Isadore Hall, D-Compton, is headed to the Senate after
passing on a 72-1 vote. Hall introduced the bill after his mother saw
replica Confederate money being sold at the state Capitol gift shop, which
no longer stocks the item.
He called the image a symbol of racism meant to intimidate.
"Its symbolism in history is directly linked to the enslavement, torture and
murder of millions of Americans," Hall said of the Confederate flag. "The
state of California should not be in the business of promoting hate toward
others."
The only lawmaker to vote against the bill was Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, the
leading Republican candidate for governor.
"We shouldn't be here picking the kind of speech we like," he said. "I am
not standing here defending the symbol. I am standing here defending the
principle that the First Amendment principles should apply in all state
buildings, of all places."
The bill originally banned all sales of Confederate flag memorabilia on
state property. In explaining that provision, Hall noted a sign sold at the
state fairgrounds depicting a Confederate flag with the phrase "It's still
my American flag."
He amended the bill to exclude nongovernment employees and businesses from
the ban to avoid violating constitutional free speech protections.
Courts have upheld the rights of individuals to display the Confederate flag
while also upholding the rights of government agencies to limit what they
endorse.
"We aren't stifling free speech here," said Assemblyman Donald Wagner,
R-Irvine, calling on Republicans who oppose flag burning to understand the
symbolic implications of the Confederate flag. "Here is a symbol that's so
vile, that carries such connotations, that we in the state do not want to be
associated with it."
The legislation would not prohibit Confederate flag images from appearing in
educational or historical contexts, such as in textbooks or museums.
Some states have gone the other direction: Earlier this year, Georgia
approved a specialty license plate featuring the Confederate flag.
