American Flag
June 29, 2010 | Self

Posted on 06/29/2010 7:30:27 PM PDT by valkyry1

Close to where I live there was a huge American Flag and now it is gone but the pole is still standing. There was nothing wrong with it and it was in really good shape etc so there was no reason to take it down.

Has anyone else noticed anything like this around where you are?

I've noticed, as have many others, that flags are not shown, even here on FR.



Please fix this.

Yep. But they’ve mostly been absent because they’re out of the World Cup. Here in Hollywood, it’s mostly the “conscientious” mexicans with their mex flags combined with Laker flags...like that’s going to FN convince me of their patriotism.

Stand by for the U.N. flag to be hoisted.

I have noticed silly vanity posts standing like flag-less poles on FR.

Does that count?

Find out who owns the flag/or the pole - and complain because the flag was taken down.

It might be something as simple as it needed to be cleaned or something.

Maybe stolen? Happened twice to a local business in a small town. No one has been charged. Those big flags must weight a ton.

Maybe the flag is owned by an Obot who is adding 7 stars to it.

More than likely they took it down because it was too big to fly at half mast because of KKK Byrd kicking the bucket.

I think it would be hard to steal where it is. It is on a main road with a hotel on one side and a convenience store/gas station on the other but I guess it could possible, and you are right they must weigh a ton.

I already asked the workers at the convenience store and the concierge at the hotel but they are not management so maybe they dont know.

I have one more place to check it might be owned by a large apartment complex.

Did it look like a dark spot near the sun...like a host?

Or maybe they just didn’t feel like flying their flag at half-mast for someone like Byrd.

I noticed a car dealer near where I live who is known to be conservative stopped flying the American flag and started flying the Texas flag instead.
