A flag flying at half-mast signifies mourning; a flag being flown upside down means distress. Somebody driving by that McDonalds may call 911, thinking the workers and customers have been taken hostage.

His franchise is most likely not his property...I don’t know the details, but I would not take such a stance with someone else’s property. But I wouldn’t stop patronizing him, although some...or (depending on the population) many probably will. Strictly speaking, a franchise has shared profits, through various mechanisms, but shared nonetheless, meaning he is taking liberties with someone else’s capital. that I don’t like. I would do it at my own shop or on my own house, but not where it is funded wholly or in part by someone else, without their agreement. And I’ll bet Ronald gave no such OK.

“I pledge no allegiance to the flag of the Dis-united States of America. And to the no-longer-a-republic (I’m sorry Ben Franklin, we didn’t keep it) for which it stands (abortion? Gay marriage? Welfare? Mediocrity? Thuggishness?). TWO nations under nobody, divisible, with diminishing liberty and politically correct justice for all.”

I will gladly say the beloved Pledge of Allegiance I grew up if/when that United States is back.

They have, along with the rest of the country.

To your point, yeah that happens all the time, a group of jungle people take workers at a McDonald hostage but they let one of them out to turn the flag upside down.

“..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...”

Lady from our church is trying to get people to donate some basic essentials to send up there. Told her that we were NOT donating a single red cent to these godless liberal bassturds in NY or NJ....ever. They are not worthy of it.

Ah...
one of the comments on the facebook page for the TV station reads:
>>Business owners are getting tired of investing their life savings just to earn maybe the same that they could eaern working for someone else, or less. And now Obama wants to TAX the wealthy more? LOL Yea, go shut down Micky D’s, then we can hear you cry about how you don’t have a place to eat next, and will be demanding that your DADDY/Mommy “Government” bring in a new Business so you can spend your welfare $. God Bless that Micky D’s Owner! ! ! Maybe all you boycotters may want to go visit Long JOhn Silvers, the local owner is a Muslim who use to be head of the Muslim Educatinional Foundation in Orange County CA. If that will make you feel more american.


As for the alternate pledge of allegiance I remember Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys did that too, on a spoken word album: “I pledge DEFIANCE to the flag of the Unites Snakes of Captivity. One nation, under God OR ELSE. One nation...” etc Big lefty.

No, just cut back the obama voters who work their to 20 hours.

I ask people who they vote for before I hire them.

If they don’t tell me or tell me Obama, I don’t hire them.

Big lefty, but one who thinks and presents his side well.

It’s funny that what he said when R’s were in charge goes double or treble now.

I wonder if the irony is lost on him?

I would start by firing anybody that supported Zer0. Then put an ad out that says...

NOW HIRING!

Obama supporters need not apply!
