The Left Has a TOTAL Meltdown Over the Flags at Justice Alito's Vacation Home
Twitchy.com ^ | May 22, 2024 | justmindy

The Mainstream Media and Democrats, but that's just one in the same, have no intention of leaving conservative Supreme Court Justices alone. Today's target? Judge Alito's vacation house.

"Last summer, two years after an upside-down American flag was flown outside the Virginia home of Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., another provocative symbol was displayed at his vacation house in New Jersey, according to interviews and photographs.

This time, it was the “Appeal to Heaven” flag, which, like the inverted U.S. flag, was carried by rioters at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Also known as the Pine Tree flag, it dates back to the Revolutionary War, but largely fell into obscurity until recent years and is now a symbol of support for former President Donald J. Trump, for a religious strand of the “Stop the Steal” campaign and for a push to remake American government in Christian terms.

Three photographs obtained by The New York Times, along with accounts from a half-dozen neighbors and passers-by, show that the Appeal to Heaven flag was aloft at the Alito home on Long Beach Island in July and September of 2023. A Google street view image from late August also shows the flag."

I fly my flag 24/7. Since Biden took office, I’ve only flown historical flags of the Revolution, most often Betsy Ross or Appeal to Heaven

There is a Soros funded campaign to undermine the conservative justices. This is just another pathetic attempt to smear Alito as a J6 insurrectionist. The correct response is that there was no J6 insurrection. There was a stop the steal rally.

That flag (”Washington’s Cruisers”) is part of my second flag rotation, I fly it about 100 days a year.

As far as Dark Lord Kristol’s comment: It is completely in accord with the Declaration of Independence, the founding spirit of our land, wherein appeals to Heaven resounded for equal treatment of all men, Mr. Kristol, even Jews, so I can’t see what your problem is - except that the wicked flee where none pursueth.

Screw you, Kristol…
It’s on his own property. He can do what he wants.

Here's a link to Library of Congress on the history of our flags cued up to the "Appeal to Heaven" flag. Images only but worth the effort to read and share. MASH HERE

If I were Alito, I’d fly the Stars and Bars in response to Leftists’ whining. :^)

Alito’s cred just went up another notch for me. Anything that pisses off the liberals is good for America.

Kind of amazing this turdblossom used to call himself a conservative.

He has betrayed the movement, that’s for sure.

The jackasses held on to it for two years and now they whine. They whine because they want Alito out of the decision making on the Trump cases.

Bill Kristol, a neoCON’s neoCON... how can this demonic POS even show his face in public? Has he ever apologize for the death and destruction he helped promote via the Iraq war with his buddy G W MORON?

This whole thing is to out Alitos summer home. They just want to show pictures. GWs flag has nothing bad on it. It means nothing bad. 99.999% of America had no idea GW had a separate flag. Now everyone knows Alitos summer home. Thats the only real point of this.
