While I love to see that flag waving, I also know that the Flag Code, adopted by Congress in 1942, says that a flag that is soiled is to be burned. You don't throw it in the trash or some such thing. Folks who considered the flag "soiled" by Nixon's invasion of Laos started the burning of flags back in the late '60's if I recall correctly. The Constitution is a lot more important than the flag. We can read it and know what it says, while the flag can be waved by anyone, even folks who would like to get rid of the constitution. Since WWII (which I remember very clearly,) the US has changed a lot. That military/industrial complex that Ike warned us about is alive and well, and some folks seem to feel that the US has started down the wrong path and maybe that's why they protest.

I understand and partly agree with the first part, but don't you fly the flag at half-mast to signal SOS instead of burning it? Unless it's beyond recognition.

Of all of the Presidents of the United States, obama is the one I disrespect the most. People said that he didn't have the right to be President because he wasn't born in the United States. Not arguing that here. I don't believe he had the right to be president because he wasn't an American. "What". you say. He was an American. Yes, legally he was.

To me, being an American is more then just citizenship status. It is something in your heart and soul. obama didn't have it. He was a traitor to real Americans and disrespected them. The Republicans and Democrats of old usually had it. They proved it on the battlefields or Asia and Africa and Europe in World Wars I and II. They fought and died for our flag and the freedom of others all over the world. It could be said of many or most of those that fought since then. obama would never have fought for America, even if drafted. He would have fled to Canada. He didn't even have the guts it would take to defy the draft board, and even go to jail for his beliefs. He turned on America from the beginning, showing favoritism for Muslim countries over America in word and deed. He backed traitors and gave freedom to those that would attack us. I could go on for hours about how little that man did for America and the evil he helped unleash in America. But it is even hard to write about him as a man. I don't think he even had the guts to be a real man and that takes a lot also. American? No, he wasn't an American in his heart and his actions proved it constantly. His vision for America was unAmerican. His heart was greed and power and strutting around like a hero and a god.

And don't give me any crap about Trump. He is a loud mouth buffoon who was a draft dodger. He is our President because so many countless Americans, that is real Americans at heart, saw him as a counter to the evils of the last presidency and president, and the potential evil of the Democrat's candidate. He would have probably not even run for the presidency, if not for the evils of obama, and the need of America and real Americans to get America back on course. He is gruff and rude and just might be what America really needs.

So much could be done with Trump and the Republicans and Democrats of old. But it is made hard by the stacking of our Supreme Court and other Federal Courts with ultra liberals. Then we have the Republican Party itself, the leaders or so called leaders, not the people at its core, that have turned so gutless of late. Maybe after Reagan. And then we have the new Democrats. Not the Democrats of your Grandfather. More like the Democrats of abortion, Socialism, unProgressivism, Communism, Stalin and Mao. They have let their party be hijacked. Now the Democrat leadership has also turned leaderless with a senile old man as their presidential candidate, and countless mayors and governors turning our cities over to raging mobs while shackling police. Instead of backing them, they are blaming them.

Meanwhile in places like Chicago there have been 9 killings this weekend, two black teenagers executed, one black 13 year old accidentally shot and one black 3 year old shot in an attempt on his fathers life on the eve of Fathers Day. And at this time, in Chicago,. they are marching and yelling Black Lives Matter when clearly they don't give a s***.

Rambled on. Rant over. This is obama's legacy. God help America.

You don't have to like Trump, many have had their "I don't like Trump" times. Respect the office of the President. Do you think I liked Obammy or Clinton? They did make me laugh a lot. Find the good. Served the country? Ooora! Where? If you don't mind.

DO NOT ADD A SINGLE

WORD, just pass it on if you like.


Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171...

During
rendition of the national anthem, when the flag is displayed, all present (except those in uniform) are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Or, at the very least, "Stand and Face It".


As Senator Obama replied :

"As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides." "There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression..." "The anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all that sort of thing."

Obama continued: "The National Anthem should be 'swapped' for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like To Teach the World To Sing'. If that were our anthem, then, I might salute it. In my opinion, we should consider reinventing our National Anthem as well as 'redesign' our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love. It’s my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren. If we, as a Nation of warring people, conduct ourselves like the nations of Islam, where peace prevails, perhaps a state or period of mutual accord could exist between our governments".

When I Become President, I will seek a pact of agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting oppressive thoughts. We as a Nation, have placed upon the nations of Islam, an unfair injustice which is WHY my wife disrespects the Flag and she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past".

"Of course now, I have found myself about to become The President of the United States and I have put my hatred aside. I will use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation and offer the people a new path. My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country's First black Family. Indeed, CHANGE
is about to overwhelm the United States of America."

Yes, you read it right.

You can Thank Abbie Hoffman and SDS for the burning of our flags. SDS stands for Students for a Democratic Society and later became The weather underground with Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorn!

No. The flag is flown at half mast in honor of folks who have passed away, or "croaked" if you prefer. To show distress, the international signal is to fly your national flag upside down. Once years ago, I was driving home from work and passed the National Guard armory in Williston Vt and the flag was upside down! I wondered if they were having trouble, like a highjacking or something, and when I got home I called 'em. A very embarrassed NCO looked outside and said that they'd put it up that way by error and I was apparently the only person who noticed all day!

When I was stationed at the 912th ACW Sqdn up on the Pine Tree, we used to sound the alarm siren every day when the flag by HQ was lowered. You could always tell when it was getting near 1700 hrs because everybody was hurrying to get inside so they wouldn't have to stand out in the cold and salute as the flag came down. So one day I was down from ops and the siren went off and I was standing there saluting the flag and the Air Police folded it up and marched off but the siren kept on. The sound seemed to be coming from the wrong direction and after a few seconds several of us turned and there at the top of the exterior stairs of the barracks was MSgt Freyburger's big black German Shepard, Sultan, with his head back and howling like a wolf! He was a perfect mimic of the siren.

Matter of fact, anyone born in this country is a Native American. No one evolved here. Everyone here came from somewhere else. or their ancestors did. You want a name for Indians, call them First Arrivals or something that is at least accurate, no matter how much it offends your delicate Liberals sensitivities.


The ‘first arrivals’ have long been conquered/killed/enslaved (except, IIRC, the Navajo) by those that followed - and like to call themselves ‘Native Americans’.

Everything you say about yourself becomes a bald faced lie when you post your beliefs, and as far as your remarks about Trump and the rest of the world are concerned, it seems you Marxists entertain an "opinion" that defies actual reality, as though you think no one you lie to has a clue as to what's going on outside the U.S.

I remember the time Pete Townshend couldn't get Hoffman to stop orating and get off The Who's stage and finally bashed him over the back of the head with a guitar.
