The 1861-65 War of Federal Aggression began for the same basic reason that the Revolutionary War began in 1775 — “Taxation without Representation” — and the issue of “abolishing slavery” wasn’t even on the table (as the cause for war) until a year and a half after the shooting started. This was put in place when Frederick Douglas convinced Lincoln that that was the emotional plucking of the American heartstrings that the North needed to unite the people and justify the draft. It was a lie and continues to be, but it worked. Few knew or even know today that the abolition of slavery had already been written into the Confederate Constitution as a gradual remedy over the next ten years. As always, the control of the Press has continued to work, and of course, the winners get to write history.
The California Assembly on Monday passed legislation that would ban the state from selling or displaying the Confederate flag, or any similar image, with Republican gubernatorial candidate Tim Donnelly casting the sole vote in opposition.
Donnelly, of Twin Peaks near Lake Arrowhead, said the bill violated the 1st Amendment and “would silence free speech.’’
“I am not standing here defending the symbol,’’ he said. “I am standing here defending the principle that the 1st Amendment should apply in all state buildings, of all places,’’
The legislation passed 72 to 1 and now heads to the state Senate for consideration.
Assemblyman Isadore Hall III (D-Compton) said the battle flag of the Confederacy is a symbol of “racism, exclusion, oppression and violence toward many Americans.”
“Its symbolism and history is directly linked to the enslavement, torture and murder of millions of Americans through the mid-19th century,’’ Hall said. “Even today its public display is designed to instill fear, intimidation and a direct threat of violence toward others. “
Republican Donald P. Wagner (R-Irvine) spoke in support of the measure. He said that contrary to Donnelly’s concern that the legislation would infringe upon free speech, the bill was limited to the state’s commercial conduct and was “tailored in way entirely appropriate. It would pass 1st Amendment muster.”
(Editor’s Note: The sale of these flags is not currently in danger of being banned in California.)
