The problem is ID of targets and organizational integrity.

Who would you trust giving orders? I have a huge problem with authority. Getting rid of authority, not so much.

You’d either get shot or at least sent to a Re-education camp?

I have many relatives I have cut off over Obama. And I don’t regret it. I simply refuse to associate with evil and those who support it. If Satan himself showed up and loved ones followed him, I’d cut them out of my life. This calls into the same category. But everyone will have to decided for themselves.

Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.

what would happen if we flew the homoexusal flag upsidedown?

Maybe a visit to the morgue, they'd be "scared straight".

Tons of people on my FB are changing their profile pics to have some BS rainbow on them.

Is that some option which one can choose by simply clicking a box - or what?

Are there other options, as well (Confederate Battle Flag, etc.)?

Regards,

I’m not sure many understand that upside down is a legitimate way to present the flag. It must be a time of distress, but it makes sense.

Just double checked, 2 % of my American Friends have openly celebrated this. Saw my first rainbowed profile. They appear to be using Facebook/celebratepride ap. Fools. Being herded like sheep to the corporate slaughter houses.

None of my friends have done so. However, several have changed their profile pics to something with a "Confederate" theme - and some of them aren't even from the South.

If you wouldn’t call 911 about a given situation, you shouldn’t fly the flag upside down. Simple as that. It’s a visual request for immediate intervention to provide immediate aid; it was never meant to be an expression of discontent.

It’s been superseded when the nation is in peril.

Right.

The overthrow of the nation overrides everything.

Former rules are passed away. It’s a new ballgame.

No more rules? Complete anarchy? That is ridiculous.

I have to leave for work now, so I think I’ll drive 80 mph, on the wrong side of the road. After all, the former rules of the road no longer exist.
