I simply won’t fly one at all.

The America I grew up in and served to defend is gone.

I don’t know what this is.

This is a kleptocracy.

They are actually fairly common throughout history.

The country has been bought and paid for by Wall Street and Silicon Valley big bucks.

We actually had a period like this earlier in our history—in the post civil war period.

Each Senator was owned (occasionally just rented) by big oil, big steel, big banks, big railroads etc.

It was not ended until Teddy Roosevelt stepped in and busted the trusts.

If you fly the Flag with respect you show you still believe in at least the concept of America and set a good example. One big problem is that there are not enough of us showing others how to act and behave.

“I simply won’t fly one at all.”

That’s where I’m at.

My flag used to fly day and night off the front deck because I was proud of my country and what she stood for.

How can I possibly do that now?

Yes, I never understood flying the “Union flag” once affirmative action, abortion, etc. were upheld by law. Show your patriotism by flying a Gadsden or Betsy Ross flag.

Our governor in NJ had the Mississippi flag removed from a national park here because it had the Confederate battle flag on it; meanwhile the NJ flag proudly waving in front of our gubmint buildings is the same flag that flew over the slave state of NJ before it outlawed slavery a few years before the Civil War.

Fly the flag. The Democrats look at the flag as Republican propaganda. They hate the flag.

What you said.
It is time to take the flags down, fold them, and put them away.
