Stay classy Obamatons.
The New York Times reports: "Over 300 workers with brooms marched alongside vacuum trucks that looked like Zambonis, all plowing through more than 100 tons of paper, plastic water bottles, newspapers, food wrappers and hundreds of tiny American flags left behind."
Trampling American flags into the ground during an inauguration is now the highest form of patriotism.
Get used to it.
He’ll trample on the Constitution, his supporters trample on the American flag.
They have a symbiotic relationship.
Ever since they started printing American flags on postage stamps that get licked, cancelled with black ink, and discarded along with the envelopes they are affixed to, the flag has been desecrated.
As the US government through the Postal Service started that practice, it probably made it more likely that the SCOTUS declared flag burning to be no big deal.
there is a difference between the flag and an image of the flag. an image of our flag on a stamp, shirt, poster, etc, is not an actual flag. these images do not have to be treated with the same care as the flag.
unfortunately, the disrespectful way that theses people have treated our flag is not surprising. they treat our country like garbage too.

The international socialist flag has only one thing on it a fly
...Save fer later...
Obama and his followers won’t need flags for another four years.
Citizens, per the Rainbow Newspeak dictionary, 2009 edition, the popular colloquialism to be afixed to critics of Comrade Chairman Obama is - “Hater”.
Please take note.
“If I had a flag that Id waved at such an occasion, Id treasure it forever.”
Exactly my thoughts.... I have a small flag that was given to me by a Patriot Guard rider at the funeral of a soldier. I cannot seem to part with it. I don’t know what to do with it. Maybe look up his widow in a year or two and see if she wants it? Offer it to the wrestling coach to hang with the hero’s picture in the high school wrestling room?
Exactly my thought, too. Nice to know that the Inaguration budget (our tax dollars) probably paid for those flags to be handed out and then the Obama supporters just tossed them away and trampled them. American flags mean nothing to them because America means nothing to them.
Of course, if they had been handed cards for a free tank of gasoline, or even a Big Mac meal at McDonald's they probably would have kept it as their "entitlement" from the Democrats for showing up at the Inaguration!
Surely no one here is surprised by this.
