The Confederate flag language was just one of a number controversial provisions included in the bill, which also included an amendment cutting Planned Parenthood funding and other swipes at the Obama administration's public health initiatives.

Good. Stop trying to destroy history because you don't like it.

You're right. Good.

So is it OK to discuss how bad slavery was ad infinitum without being told to "quit talking about it...no one alive now was a slave."

Well, none of you lived in the Confederacy either.

I truly don't care about anyone's opinion about the Confederate flag. Its my flag I was born and raised in the south and will die here. Don't like the flag? DON'T FLY ONE! The Confederate flag flew over NO slave ships. The US flag did. So your whining is misplaced but like I said...I don't care. I have to value someone's opinion before caring about their opinion.

I hate how politicians tie unrelated items together, but I guess that's the only way to compromise.

The entire bill is stupid and a waste of money and time.

It's not like the Republicans don't have more pressing issues that need their attention. They are on the very cusp of becoming irrelevant for generations to come and this is what's keeping them up at night? Incredible.

Bout as dumb as the dumbocrats agenda. Leave things like history alone and GOP won't need to stop the American Taliban from trying to destroy it.
