It seems that we're all "domestic terrorists."
FBI director Christopher Wray was recently questioned by Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) about a Project Veritas report regarding a document, provided by a whistleblower, which revealed FBI guidelines for identifying "Militia Violent Extremists."
In the leaked document, the Betsy Ross Flag, the Gadsden Flag, the Gonzales Battle Flag, and other common American patriotic symbols, were portrayed as materials that could be used by or indicative of "domestic terrorists." Reference to the U.S. Constitution, in particular the Second Amendment — which the document abbreviated as "2A" — was also included on the list of items a crazed right-wing "extremist" might fancy.
Sen. Cruz was masterful in his takedown of Wray, stating, "Now, that is fairly remarkable that the Betsy Ross flag, in the FBI's indication, is indicative of Militia Violent Extremism because, among other people who have been publicly alongside the Betsy Ross flag, we have President Barack Obama, who was sworn in directly underneath the Betsy Ross flags. But it's not just President Obama; we also have President Biden, who was sworn in under Betsy Ross flags. It's not just the Betsy Ross flag. Also on this list is the Gadsden flag as a symbol of violent extremism. Now, the State of Virginia has a license plate for the Gadsden flag, as do many other states. I think people would be astonished to find that having that license plate, the FBI indicates that you're a violent extremist."
Addressing the issue of the Gonzales Battle Flag being included on the list, Cruz noted: "Also included on this is the text that I was particularly struck, is the Gonzales Battle Flag, 'Come and Take It' ... as indicative of being a violent extremist militia."

I betchya he's even got a commie flag tacked up on the wall inside of his garage - Charlie Daniels Band, Uneasy Rider
I live near an old Dutch Reformed church (pre-Revolutionary War) with many early settlers and Revolutionary War soldiers in its cemetery. They have all these early flags lining one side (I believe they were put there for Independence Day), and didn’t include the Gadsden flag...
I believe they have that other “symbol of hate”, the Betsy Ross flag (which I recall was everywhere in 1976).
I wonder what King George would have thought.
Any person or organization that sees the American flag as a totem of radical extremism is, in fact, and enemy of the United States of america.
They are projecting. But this is actually far more dangerous than that.
The FBI needs to be reorganized and prevented from becoming a’Praetorian Guard’, which it is now.
FBI badges are symbols of traitorous human garbage. They should be branded on their foreheads before they are sent to the gallows.
The corrupt biden administration has turned federal law enforcement against the people and put it in the service of the forces that are destroying this country. .
I am thinking that we should fly ours at half-staff, for the duration.
At least it might help with enemy identification.
The FBI was founded and staffed by gangsters to stop a gangster problem using gangster tactics. Nothing has changed except the ‘gangsters’ they are after now are normal American citizens who aren’t Nazi thugs and gangsters like them and the leftists they serve.
That's one (of a very few) I'd put on my car's back window...
I fly my flag 24/7.
Underneath of my American flag, I fly a jolly roger.
What does that mean to the fib?
Cruz’s Boots are gonna walk All over FIB
Are you a comedian?
Cruz will posture and yell but, in the end, do nothing. He is a hopeless Goldman Sachs gelding
“I betchya he’s even got a commie flag tacked up on the wall inside of his garage - Charlie Daniels Band, Uneasy Rider”
and we all need to get him and his commie agents stepping and fetching like their hair is on fire and their asse$ are a catchin as they are run out of Washington.
I have just quit flying the flag at all.
The building needs to be torn down brick by brick.
Then you look like a Democrat. ;)
I am thinking to get a little US flag I can put halfway up my truck’s antenna. We need a way to identify our fellow countrymen as strangers in the coming times. I expect the Democrats/Communists will never fly the flag, or will fake it, raising it high.
