McDonald's flies flag upside down

The American flag at the Follansbee McDonald's is flying at half-staff and upside down today. Someone at the restaurant told one of our reporters this was "the owner's decision." What are your thoughts?

Flying the US Flag upside down means a Nation in Distress. Yes, I would say that fits.

The owner actually ate one of their burgers?

It is a sign of distress. I often feel distressed after choosing to eat there when no other options are available.

Fine with me.

For me, for starters, those nitwits on the east coast who are whining for help and who helped reelect der Fuehrer can pound sand(y). No sympathy or money from me. Wait and see if the won throws some of the pennies from our tax burden your way but don’t hold your breath.

It’s an accurate expression. Not popular in some quarters perhaps, but . . . accurate.

Follansbee WV (citty of)
>>Located in the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia, just 45 miles west of Pittsburgh, lies the City of Follansbee, an international city with a diverse ethnic background enriched by the qualities of small-town America. Dating back to 1906, when the City of Follansbee first recieved its charter as a municipal city, Follansbee has been cradled by its rich geographic location - the Ohio River, the rolling Appalachian Mountains, and its close proximity to several larger cities that offer a variety of culture, social diversity, and entertainment. Steeped in a rich tradition of family values, Follansbee possess exceptional educational opportunities, diverse neighborhoods, and a true sense of “Hometown America”.

I hear they flew one like that at an Embassy in Benghazi recently. But it did not work because Obama ordered the reaction forces that the US has staged in that region to stand down...twice.

This is one of the reasons why I hold McD’s stock. They not only do NOT allow EBT’s but the board is choc full of conservatives.

Our new flag was going to fly today; now, it might have to wait until Amerika can be turned back into America, if God’s grace will allow it.

Agree.

Free speech.

We are in distress.

I took mine down after the SCOTUS ruled 0bamaCare was legal. I was hoping to put it back up today. It may never go back up. Certainly not in the next four years.
