Can anyone ever point to a day when the state of California sold Confederate flags?

BTW, most history books have pictures of the confederate flags. I believe they can no longer distribute these books at school.

Yep, this is a major step in the wrong direction. Flying the Mexican flag is O.K.

California must be in great fiscal condition to focus on minor issues like this.

I really think southerners (or anyone else pro- first amendment) need to boycott CA in it's entirety. Let's do a financial stranglehold on this turd until it dies.

I love that my state is taking jobs away from this CA in droves. Gov. Moonbeam is gonna have a great time running his state with no tax base.

They even tried to outlaw the use of the word Dixie...can you believe that?

It's in our state constitution that the words "Heart Of Dixie" will be on our (Alabama) state license plates. You need a microscope to see it now, they've shrunk it so much. Blacks say it's a racist word.

Let's erase history shall we?

Essentially all the aging white liberal leaders have these days for the party’s minority base is racism against whites. My god will the idiot conservatives and gop hucksters ever wake up?

You reckon they may be worried that soon it may be worth more in the markets than the U.S. Dollar? LOL The folly of fools given a little bit of power gives us silly laws like this. I wonder if USCT must be removed from WW2 veterans head stones now? I wonder if any elected official even knows what it stood for and who's army? Was it right? No. But we musn't air FDR's dirty laundry ya know.

I think I'll have to buy me a Confederate flag to go with my Culpepper. I need to buy me another "Put your heart in Dixie or get your {Picture of a donkey} out." LOL Dixie is the name of a geographical region the same as New England is or Pacific Northwest.

Strange... It was the Democrats that supported the Confederate States, and the KKK, and segregation, and slavery, and welfare dependence, and - you get the picture. ;-)

Dear California:

Reread Amendment One to the United States Constitution. Concentrate on the section that reads “Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech.”
