The American Flag, Symbol of Freedom
Canada Free Press ^ | 07/02/16 | Dr. Ileana Johnson Paugh

On Independence Day, remember and pray for all American patriots, American soldiers, and American heroes who sacrificed their freedoms and gave their lives

The American flag has been a symbol of pride, of hope, of freedom, of liberation, of exceptionalism, of courage, of inspiration, of strength, and of power. It pains me to see anti-American elements, the enemies of freedom, Islamists, communists, and other traitors burn it, trample it, tear it, trash it, and do unspeakable things to it.

Our Stars and Stripes must be properly folded, stored, and disposed of. Yet the Rhode Island Veterans cemetery where Stan Sniezyk’s father and other heroes are buried disposed of piles of torn and dirty American flags into the dumpster and kept them in a storage shed. Photographs and even a video outraged patriotic Americans around the country. Stan Sniezyk posted photos of mounds of flags in “Call 12 for Action.” When interviewed, he told WPRI 12, “It just broke my heart because everyone in this cemetery fought under that banner and every fiber of that flag is their blood, sweat, and tears.”

I heard the severely mentally challenged, Juan Williams, say on FAUX Snooze this morning that the flame on the Statue of LIBERTY meant that America is “a nation of immigrants”. Funny, we weren’t “a nation of immigrants” until Bonzo was elected. I’m a NATIVE American. Why don’t we call it the Statue of Immigrants? This is some weird sh*t.

Stars on the flag soon to be replaced by crescent moons with a green background if the White Hut gets it’s way.

A question. Today at our monthly men’s breakfast at church the situation of having our U.S. flag posted in the sanctuary came up. We were told that the reason for being removed was fear the Gov’t would take away our exemption of being a non-profit organization if it remained.
Is this true or are some here just afraid of the Politically Correct folks?

We are a nation descended from immigrants. What we are is a nation of laws. You know, it’s a damn shame when another country has to speak with reverence and pride about a flag other than it’s own. Thank you Canadian Free Press.
