New Senate Bill Requires ALL American Flags to Be Made in the USA

We should be able to at least make our own flags ?

[Squantos]

I want all US flag’s to be made of nomex and kevlar ........

“That in itself is unAmerican”

America is currently un American.

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thine own eye? Yea, rather considerest the log that is in thine enemy's eye!

[I want the USA back]

Well meaning, but not a good idea. Congress should refrain from messing with the free market.

[IndispensableDestiny]

Freepers who read the article will see that it only applies to flags purchased by Federal agencies.

[SgtBob]

This is for government agencies, not we, the people. If you are using government funds to procure a flag, it must be American made.

[Responsibility2nd]

Read the article?? Are you kidding this is Free Republic. We barely read the excerpt.

[EEGator]

I just read the title...

[Salvavida]

Can't we spend our time on more pressing issues, like mandatory classes on the Constitution and original intent? Logic, debate, and rhetoric?

This isn't going to change a stupid electorate.

[353FMG]

All bourbon MUST be made in America.

[bgill]

But will we be free to fly them?

[EnglishOnly]

The Flag Police are knocking.

[Born to Conserve]

They should also be made from natural fiber, and brought in at night and for inclement weather. Among other things.

[Mr. Blond]

Dumb. Don’t need new laws, just read the label.

[sphinx]

Anyone can sew up a flag. Anyone. Any flag. Read the story. All the legislation does is impose a buy American requirement on flags purchased by federal agencies.

[dp0622]

I agree.

Though I’d rather at least buy from a democracy.

Buying the most important symbol of freedom in the world from the ChiComs just doesn’t sit well.

Tariffs!! :)

But NO, I don’t want our govt getting involved so we don’t BECOME more like china each year.

I’m a big boy. I can decide.

I did buy my Dodge Challenger instead of a foreign car but today, who knows if the foreign car would have had more parts made here?

[gibsonguy]

Well that sure does not match the headline. Journalism is dead.

[Kickass Conservative]

Does this Made in America requirement apply to anyone running for POTUS too?

[moovova]

“The only winners will be the flag cartels.”

American flags are just gateway flags. Before your knew you’re hooked on Mexican or Chinese flags, or worse...the ISIS flag.

[Cobra64]

There should be another bill accompanying this one. Anyone caught desecrating the American Flag is fair game to being hunted down like a feral hog.
