General Lee guys in California, Look Out!!!

[RECHRGD]

California has just passed a bill that bans the sale or display of the Confederate flag.  It's just waiting for Governor Moonbeam's signature.  Gotta love that state......

[Ghoste]

I thought that bs had already been done?

[ACUDANUT]

I guess we should fly a flag with O'bama face on it huh.

How about a compromise, a flag with two crossed bananas. 

[RallyeMike]

I guees CA never heard of free speach? Good luck keeping that one on the books.

From my reading, only "the State of California" is barred from selling these flags.  This bill would not bar individuals from displaying, selling, etc. the confederate flag.  I think the initial purpose was confederate flag sales at the state fair.  I don't think it affects individual citizens of California.  And if it did/does, it certainly won't pass constitutional muster.

What sickens me is that I see the confedarate flag being pushed into becoming a racist symbol by well off white liberals with a guilt complex.  They're the only ones I ever see whining about it.

No doubt about it, but the victors get to write the story I suppose.  The loser of a war will always be demonized by the winner of the war, who get to write the history books.  Those well off white liberals with a guilt complex are a mighty voice, but I hear plenty of others decry the stars and bars as well.  Most don't know why, but they were taught that it is something that it may or may not be.

Anyway, I suppose that is about as far as I am comfortable with going in the political end of this conversation.  Suffice it to say that the General Lee guys are going to be just fine out there in California, for now.

Another reason to not live in California...if there wasn't enough already. Lol

Thanks for that link.  It clears it up.  No doubt though, if that state could pass it as a general rule for the public to follow, they would.......

I don't think much of the General Lee appearance scheme, no offense to anyone here, but just because of this latest violation of individual rights in California I am now DEFINITELY going to put a confederate flag on my roof...

Looks like you are one of very few who read anything & didn't get your panties wadded up in your crack. 

[twodko]

All you guys are hella funny! Yep, it's true as rain. They don't call this cluster f**k state the
PRK for nothing. The ACLU and tribes of the uber wealthy ultra Libs have made this
state so "walking on eggs" you can't fart here without some jack wagon in your face about it.
From the Andy Lopez "all cops are mad dog killers" ranting morons to the asshats in Sacramento
passing laws favoring any group that's squawking about some penny ante issue because they
might look less than PC, to the laws being passed favoring the few over the wishes of the many.

Time for an American jihad on the aforementioned political jelly spines both here
in Calijokia and in congress. Just sayin' of course.

Hey NSA, am I on the watch list now for daring to write the word jihad? Pissant nazis.

Whoa, Just about spilt my vodka and orange  no, I'm a Kiwi but I'd still like to have a beer with Tom sometime though

Bob T, as soon as I'm off these damned oxycodone spinal surgery meds I'll be having
a stout vodka/orange juice in your honor my friend!

[Mike DC]

  
Well, it's not like the state of Cali has any other more pressing problems that need legislating & enforcing.  Might as well invest the taxpayers' money on stuff like this.

That sounds like a great combo right there.

Very well said!
Moved out of there 19 years ago don't miss the silly stuff.

[troy.70R/T]

So glad I live in Missouri. I will never live in California or the north east.

[c00nhunterjoe]

I dont think the general lee is racist. I cant tell you how many black guys LOVE the car and get their pictures with it.

[Mike DC]

 
The GL is pretty much the best thing to happen to the Confederate Flag's public image in the last 50 years.   

 

[twodko]

IMO there is nothing racist about the confederate flag.

[Ghoste]

I completely agree, its only the lefties feeling guilty who are changing it into that.
