Here we go again. Back on our heels.
According to my congressman it DOESN’T ban the private placement of confederate flags.
Maybe we should pass a law saying that congressmen should be banned from cemeteries, but thrown into dumpsters instead.
The plan to re-write history and make believe the Civil War never occurred is surging forward, full speed ahead. I wonder if the day is coming when nobody will be allowed to have any southern pride any more.
Squishy cowards all.
Even for Confederate soldiers. How fascist.
“Huffman’s amendment is mostly symbolic and applies only to instances in which Confederate flags are flown on flagpoles over mass graves. The amendment would not ban the display of small Confederate flags placed at individual graves. Such displays are generally permitted on Memorial Day and Confederate Memorial Day in the states that observe it.”
Can’t find the text.
That has to be an error. I think they meant only two Democrats voted against the measure. I would be interested to know why a black congressman was against it.
can we ban the homo flag as well?
what about the isis flag?
Just wait till the DemWits figure out CSA is shown on their grave markers in National Cemeteries.
That included a Lotta GOP votes.

6. But the grand nostrum will be a public debt...
7. It must not be forgotten that the members of the legislative body are to have a deep stake in the game. This is an essential point, and happily is attended with no difficulty. A sufficient number, properly disposed, can alternately legislate and speculate, and speculate and legislate, and buy and sell, and sell and buy, until a due portion of the property of their constituents has passed into their hands to give them an interest against their constituents…

Banning our heritage?

Ryan-o, despite the opposition to this disgrace by a majority of the Republican Caucus, allowed a vote to satisfy the Demonrat radicals. Next time, attach a rider as to something that Ryan-o and his despicable fellow prostitutes consider REALLY IMPORTANT like denying funding to Chamber of Crony Commerce legislative schemes. Then the Demonrats can decide whether they will vote to show that they too wear kneepads for the corrupt Chamber of Commerce despite all their faux "populist" rhetoric claiming to support the "little guy" against the big corporate bosses while having their hands out for the tribute paid to them too by the bosses.
The Demonrats are verrrrrrry angry at the continued Republican voting record of much of the South. This is a classic case of the Demonrat left shouting at all wings of the GOP: Let's you and him fight! It is a clever strategy given the brainlessness and spinelessness of the GOP-E who NEVER respond in kind.
As Bill Buckley wrote: Politics is the jewelers' art. The value of a stone depends on how it is cut. The Demonrats are constantly cutting our stones against us and our "leaders" cower in the corner hoping that the baaaaaaaad Demonrats will just go away and leave the GOP to coddling BIG BUSINESS as usual. Muffie wants/needs more billions in her trust fund and neither the Demonrats nor the GOP base seem to care about the care and feeding of poor Muffie's billions at all unless she donates to the Demonrats in which case they will care.
All that the peasants care about is dull, boring or embarrassing priorities like jobs, borders, babies, marriage, family, guns, THEIR culture, nationalism, restricting trade, cutting THEIR tax burdens. Stuff like that.
Ryan-o may well get his just desserts in the August primary as Cantor did a couple of years ago. There will still be plenty of unprincipled elitist trash to eagerly seek his "leadership" position. Fortunately, there IS The Donald.
How ISIS-like of these criminals.
Not CSA.
So many have died in defense of that flag that I'm inclined to ban the CSA flag from VA cemeteries too.
But not for the same reason as others want to ban it.
Aren't there CSA cemeteries in the South?
I even support honoring Soviet and German and Japanese soldiers from any era...in their own cemetery.
Seems like a violation of the 1st amendment.
Southern conservatives were fools to think that Republicans would fight to preserve our Southern Heritage.
I think the Constitution forbids this.
But in Obamaland, who knows? :)
