The state flag of Arkansas sports 25 white stars and four blue ones. And in 1987, while serving as governor of Arkansas, Bill Clinton signed a bill affirming that one of those blue stars is there in honor of the Confederate States of America.

The state’s General Assembly reaffirmed the parameters of the flag in a 1987 act that Clinton signed. Among other provisions detailing the flag’s features, such as its colors and shapes, there was a line that read, “The blue star above the word ‘ARKANSAS’ is to commemorate the Confederate States of America.”

Back in 1992 - Clinton won KY, WVA, TN, GA, MO, AK AND LA.

Wouldn’t happen today.

For what it’s worth, Larry Nichols used to say Clinton gave out copies of Mein Kampf to his staff at one point. Bill and Hillary used to use the “N” word frequently.

Those two are the biggest frauds on the face of the planet.

GHW Buush screwed over conservatives by signing a tax increase into law.

Things got bad Republicans lost CA for good.

So much for Reagan’s third term.

I agree.

Bush and the Republican party handed the state to the Left and never looked back.

These were days when California voters were still coming down on the right side on some issues. Homosexual marriage is one of them.

It’s just shocking how little they care going into each elected 55 electoral votes down from the opening bell.

I haven’t seen the party make one statement that caused me to believe that they care that there are open primaries, Democrats deciding who our candidates will be.

That’s the only reason McCain is a shoe-in over and over.

There was a one time in Arkansas an oath every newly elected official was to repeat at the beginning of their new term. The language included a loyalty pledge. I believe it was to the Democrat Party the allegiance was required singularly for both parties. Clinton was governor at that time. It was common knowledge at that time. I have been looking for it and I remember a Civics teacher talking about that once.

Remember When Trump Got Palm Beach’s Country Clubs To Desegregate? Neither Does The Media

Donald Trump is largely responsible for desegregating Florida’s wealthy sporting clubs.

The title is great. 2 summers ago when the media didn't think Trump had a chance, and he was more a celebrity story it was easy to fine news reports from the 1990's about this - and I trust stories from the time more than stories 20 years later with a political influence.

There were quite a few stories from the 80s and 90s I sent to friends. I was an early Trump supporter and the pro-Trump stories were easy to find at first but got harder and harder as the months went on. My bookmarks stopped working and google didn't find them. Last time I looked these were missing from web archives while other stores from the same time were still there. I'd love to hear an explanation for how pro-Trump stories from decades ago have disappeared while other stories from the same papers are still there. Erasing history is a big goal of the left - the monuments today are just another attempt.

It was widely used in the South by Clinton/Gore.
