“Didn’t you get the memo”
True Blue is the color of Patriots.
Let this be the Conservative’s October surprise.
From some of us FReepers comes this directive/suggestion.
We’ve already seen the “logic” of this notion and had mucho discussions on the subject.
Swap the color association that the commieCrats and their LameStreamMedia suckered everyone into accepting some years ago.
Red = commies, every one knows that.
Blue = true blue American patriots, every one knows that.
Just start using the switcheroo, no explanation but do include the punchline “Didn’t you get the memo ?!
It is our right to do to the marxists what they have been doing to us for these many years,
Revenge is sweet when it is “clean and neat”.
Wrong, let the Yankees have the color blue. They own it. No, better just switch the Red to Grey. More appropriate.
“True Blue is the color of Patriots.”
Here’s a bit of history to back up what you wrote:
On September 15, 1775, the local Revolutionary Council of Safety in Charleston drafted then Colonel Wiliam Moultrie to prepare a flag to display at Fort Johnson on Sullivan’s Island, outside of Charleston, South Carolina. British war ships prowled outside of the port of Charleston, preparing to attack the city.
Inside the fort, the First and Second South Carolina Regiments marshaled forces to prepare for the bombardment and turn back the British invasion.
According to Moultrie’s memoirs, a flag was needed for the purpose of “signals” to direct American forces during the imminent siege. No national or state flag existed at that time.
Moultrie looked out on his troops and saw they were “clothed in blue” and “wore a silver crescent on the front of their caps.
“I had a large flag made with a crescent on the dexter corner, to be in uniform with the troops,” Moultrie wrote. “This was the first American flag, which was displayed in South Carolina.”
Agreed. See post #55 of this thread.
I also strenuously object to the media forced color designations.
