Corporate media recently took old smears about a Revolutionary War-era flag and applied them to Justice Samuel Alito after his wife allegedly displayed the “provocative” symbol in front of his home.
The meaning behind the “An Appeal To Heaven” flag, a pine-tree-adorned symbol used by squadrons of the Continental Navy during the Revolutionary War, is rather innocuous. George Washington’s secretary Col. Joseph Reed created the flag in 1775 to publicly display “an appeal to God to save the colonists from the King’s oppressive ruling.”
The same outlets fomenting fake scandal about the alleged Alito flag have never taken issue with any Americans displaying Black Lives Matter, Ukraine, pro-terrorist, and rainbow flags, despite their connections to anti-American agitation. The New York Times, however, suggested the historic “An Appeal To Heaven” flag was associated with a “push for a more Christian-minded government.”

My FR monicker is ThePatriotsFlag for a reason. I have flown patriot flags since Obama was first elected. My neighborhood has gotten used to them and neighbors often discuss their history, starting off with…”Now what is that flag about?” It is good to know each flag’s history so you can have the discussion that always seems to happen when a new flag flies. When Trump was President, I flew the #1 patriots flag, USA. But during Obama and now Biden, my USA flag is tucked away. I won’t fly the most this most important symbol with a fake president in “office.” Soon Trump will once again be ELECTED my USA flag will come out of retirement and fly freely. Proudly positioned on the pole on the front of my house.
