INTRODUCTION In a previous article1 this author traced the history of the government speech doctrine from the time it first appeared in a concurring decision in Columbia Broadcasting System, Inc. v. Democratic National Committee,2 to its prominent role in Pleasant Grove City v. Summum,3 in which the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the city’s decision to display permanent monuments in a public park is a form of government speech, which is neither subject to scrutiny under the First Amendment, nor a form of expression to which public forum analysis applies. This review demonstrated that the intersection between government speech and the First Amendment is very tricky terrain, because of the inherent difficulties in determining what is government speech, mixed private and government speech, or private speech in a limited public forum.

  • Parashat Chukkat 2 Sermon, 6/23/2018 Dr
    Parashat Chukkat 2 sermon, 6/23/2018 Dr. Bard C. Cosman Congregation Beth El Last year we city Jews made a driving trip to Madras, Oregon for the solar eclipse. I thought how different Madras was, out on the high desert of central Oregon, from its tropical namesake in southern India—and I thought that only in America, where pioneers felt they were starting history afresh, would you find a place named like that. But then I recalled that Oregon’s pioneers gave their capital a Hebrew name—Salem. It was a long drive, so there was time to think about all the Hebrew place names in the United States. Only in America are there so many. Bethpage, Bethesda, Bethlehem, Moriah, Tabor, Pisgah; Galilee, Carmel, Moab; Ephraim, Utah; Rehoboth, Massachusetts; Shiloh, Siloam, Gilboa, Bethel Park—there’s an American town sporting the name of almost any place in the Bible. Even names that just don’t work in English, like Shittim Gulch, Washington; I couldn’t find Gehenna anywhere in the Dakotas or Texas, but maybe I didn’t look hard enough. As we drove by Mount Hebron, California, I thought that only in America are they preserving a map of iron-Age Israel, our ancient heritage, in the names of contemporary small towns. One wonders what else they might be preserving. Another feature of small-town America is the rural-urban political divide, which up in NorCal and Oregon means State-of-Jefferson separatism. Throughout the region we saw the gold-on-green flag of Jefferson with its double cross, often paired with the Gadsden flag, the yellow one with the snake.

  • Civic Center Plaza Flagpoles Historical Background
    Civic Center Plaza Flagpoles Historical Background Preceeding Events The flagpoles were installed during a period of great nationalism, especially in San Francisco. The Charter of the United Nations was signed in 1945 in the War Memorial Hall Building (Herbst Theatre); while the War Memorial Opera House, and other local venues were host to the two-month-long gathering of global unity. There were some 3500 delegation attendees from 50 nations, and more than 2500 press, radio and newsreel representatives also in attendance. (United Nations Plaza was dedicated later, in 1975, on the east side of the plaza as the symbolic leagcy of that event.) World War II was still in the minds of many, but a more recent event was the statehood of both Alaska and Hawaii during 1959, which brought thoughts of the newly designed flag to the fore, especially to school children who saluted the flag each morning. With two new stars, it looked different. And finally, John F. Kennedy was elected preident in November 1960; he was the youngest president ever elected bringing a new optimism and energy to the country. The Pavilion of American Flags Although all of the flagpoles seen today were in the original design, there does not seem to have been a specific theme for what the many staffs would display. The central two parallel rows containing a total of 18 flagpoles, known as The Pavilion of American Flags, flank the east-facing view of the Civic Center Plaza from the mayor’s office. An idea was presented that would feature flags which played an important role in the nation’s history.

Gurner, M.A, MScR Cultural Resources Specialist Fort Morgan State Historic Site In honor of the University of North Alabama‘s newly created Public History Masters program, it seems appropriate to write about some of the issues that affect the vital role public historians have in society. With an ever-changing political climate, anything can be instantly commented on through social media to add fire to a controversy. Incorrect information and bad history seem ubiquitous these days. If the wrong thing is said or done that appears to contradict one‘s personal view of the past, people are likely to follow the sway of a mob charging after the proverbial monster and demand change of what is deemed as ―offensive‖ history.

  • History of the Gadsden Flag
    History of the Gadsden flag The Gadsden flag is a historical American flag with a yellow field depicting a rattlesnake coiled and ready to strike. Positioned below the snake is the legend "Dont Tread on Me"[sic]. The flag was designed by and is named after American general and statesman Christopher Gadsden. It was also used by the United States Marine Corps as an early motto flag. In the fall of 1775, the British were occupying Boston and the young Continental Army was holed up in Cambridge, woefully short on arms and ammunition. At the Battle of Bunker Hill, Washington's troops had been so low on gunpowder that they were ordered "don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes." In October, a merchant ship called The Black Prince returned to Philadelphia from a voyage to England. On board were private letters informing the Second Continental Congress that the British government was sending two ships to America loaded with arms and gunpowder for the British troops. A plan was hatched to capture these British ships. They authorized the creation of a Continental Navy, starting with four ships. The frigate that carried the information from England, the Black Prince, was one of the four. It was purchased, converted to a man-of-war, and renamed the Alfred. To aid in this, the Second Continental Congress also authorized the mustering of five companies of Marines to accompany the Navy on their first mission. The first Marines that enlisted were from Philadelphia and they carried drums painted yellow, depicting a coiled rattlesnake with thirteen rattles, and the motto "Don't Tread On Me." This is the first recorded mention of the future Gadsden flag's symbolism.

Numerous issues – including a protracted economic recession, alarming federal budget deficits, concern over immigration, fiscal deficits, and a seemingly ineffective government response to these problems – appear to be fueling the new right-wing populism. But changing demographics in the United States will limit the potential of the Tea Party and related movements insofar as they resonate almost exclusively with white Americans. Unless the Tea Party can reach out to America’s increasing non-white population, its long-term viability is limited.

Abstract This dissertation investigates a prominent group in the patriot/militia movement called the Oath Keepers. It explores how the group uses references to core political ideas and important political events from American history. It argues that these rhetorical strategies serve three purposes: (1) helping the group’s supporters to make sense of contemporary America, (2) providing the group’s supporters with models of appropriate behavior in response to ongoing events, and (3) help the group to gain additional support. It also argues that different rhetorical strategies are useful for different purposes and target different audiences.
