Wanna bet anyone here knows the name of that soldier and the flag he raised?

I don't know that exact painting but I'll wager it depicts the defense in the British attack on Charleston, SC during the US Revolutionary War. The current SC State Flag also has that crescent moon.

Yes, see all my many threads promoting my writing where I pretend to explain things to those less perceptive than myself.
Oh, wait... there are none.

He may have been born here but needs to be reminded that one of the great things that a Free Republic such as these United States have is the option for him to leave whenever he wants, hopefully permanently.

He can pass the throngs trying to get in.

That is what I say. How many flavors of government are there on this planet. Go to the country that best fits your government flavor. Leave America alone.

Close! It was the battle of Sullivan’s Island, 28 June 1776.

The patriots had built a fort of palmetto logs; the spongy wood absorbed incoming cannonballs instead of splintering.

At one point the S.C. flag was shot down but Sgt. William Jasper climbed the wall and secured it back in place. This had a dramatic effect on morale; buckets of grog supplied to the troops helped morale, too.

The British were forced to withdraw but in 1780 returned and captured Charleston; during that year the war could have gone either way.

Easiest way to end this is Trump announcing a 6 month lockdown. Country would be opened by the weekend.

He is an anchor baby born to illegal alien parents.

In other words, he is NOT an American (only a let’s pretend anchor babies are American citizens).

...even though we’re a country founded on slavery, genocide...

They usually don't let this core belief slip on camera unless they are under a lot of pressure.

Exactly. They constantly bitch about the Electoral College and Second Amendment.

Quite a few freepers will tell you they are eligible to be future Presidents.

UPDATE: Anand Giridharadas responded to this story on Twitter and doubled down on his hyperbolic comments against “freedom-obsessed” Americans. Giridharadas said: “Yes, because they’re killing us with their bizarre fantasies of ‘liberation’ amid a pandemic.” [Emphasis added.]

That’s why I hate them. In the hospital I work that’s all it is. East Indians, Pakistanis. Poles, Ukrainians, Russians, Greeks and Brits. Every jabbering Trump hating mutt mouthing off “Why doesn’t’ America have free health care? My country does’’. Why are Americans allowed to own guns? “In my country no one can own a gun’’ I tell thm, This isn’t ‘’your country’’. I’s our, We The People. If you don’t like it, leave.’’

>>> Do you have original thoughts? <<<

Yes, I commented and placed my FR identity by my original thoughts.
Did you miss what few original words I posted?

I posted YOUR comment to the original poster,
>>> “Who the F are you?” <<<
in my reply to you,
and then answered YOUR original thoughts,
then...
I did your homework by-
looking up the article,
looking up the original poster’s connection to the article,
looking up the website that the article was posted to,
looking up the parent organization of the website,
and looking up the founder of the parent organization- Brent Bozell,
and then I posted all of it to you,
answering your question:
“Who the F are you?”

Let me take a guess?
You didn’t read my reply to your question?

Were you just piling on the original poster like humblegunner likes to do?
