After just two minutes of floor debate late Tuesday evening, the House passed a measure to prohibit the display of Confederate flags on graves in federal cemeteries.
Despite the lack of fanfare, the vote marked the House's first entry into the debate over removing the Confederate flag from federal property that went beyond codifying already established policies.
Rep. Jared Huffman's (D-Calif.) amendment to the 2016 Interior Department spending bill seeks to end a policy that allows a temporary display of the flag in cemeteries under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service. It sailed through on a voice vote after minimal discussion on the House floor that encountered no opposition.

Your government at work.
Once the ‘Confederate’ flag is gone from all public places, all references to the Civil War erased, and no one remembers any more, then all our problems will go away....................
Okay, ISIS, that is in your face. See how easily all these problems are solved?
The US feral government has declared war on its natural-born citizens and joined forces with the alien invaders.
I bet the satanic left never dreamed how well their propaganda would work.
The entire House. Two lousy minutes of ‘debate’ and the Southern heritage is erased. Unbelievable.
Civil disobedience is in order.
"And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed if all records told the same tale then the lie passed into history and became truth. "Who controls the past," ran the Party slogan, "controls the future: who controls the present controls the past." And yet the past, though of its nature alterable, never had been altered. Whatever was true now was true from everlasting to everlasting. It was quite simple. All that was needed was an unending series of victories over your own memory. "Reality control," they called it." -- 1984, George Orwell, 1948
We are literally living in a dystopian novel, a kind of combination between 1984, Brave New World, and Foundation.
This is Winston Smith’s Memory Hole.
More emotional responses from the wet diaper crowd. Every one of them feels the need to be sooooo PC that they are willing to give up anything to appease the mob.
I guess that will delete that whole slavery-era from history, so there should be no more talk of “generations of oppression” and thoughts of reparations. (Right?)
In a way, ‘socialism’ IS ‘reparations’....................................
Another Civil War is in order.
I guess it won’t be long before Barry and the ‘RATS make it illegal for anyone in America to draw cartoons of Mohammed.
The Republicans will cheer the move.
I wonder if there is a similar prohibition against Mexican flags?
Nice to see our government at work.
Power corrupts and federal power corrupts absolutely. It seems once we put someone in office, regardless of how conservative they claim to be, protecting their perks and privileges becomes the first order of business, especially in the face of the media mob. No country can last long once the cowards have established their claim to leadership. We are ripe for the five dictators we have and the one in the wings. Once the masses are impoverished and intimidated into silence, resistance will end completely and we will join the failures of history.
It’s all about priorities.
