Vets guard Christian flag

KING, N.C. – The Christian flag is everywhere in the small city of King: flying in front of barbecue joints and hair salons, stuck to the bumpers of trucks, hanging in windows and emblazoned on T-shirts.

The relatively obscure emblem has become omnipresent because of one place it can't appear: flying above a war memorial in a public park.

The city council decided last month to remove the flag from above the monument in Central Park after a resident complained, and after city leaders got letters from the American Civil Liberties Union and Americans United for the Separation of Church and State urging them to remove it.

That decision incensed veterans groups, churches and others in King, a city of about 6,000 people 15 miles north of Winston-Salem. Ray Martini, 63, an Air Force veteran who served in Vietnam, launched a round-the-clock vigil to guard a replica Christian flag hanging on a wooden pole in front of the war memorial.

The country was infiltrated by communists from the 1910s to the 1960s and now they are entrenched in academia, media, entertainment, unions and every level of government. All of our major problems started with this infiltration, is the short answer.

Picture an American flag, replace the Stars with a red Christian Cross, and remove the red stripes so they body of the flag is white.

White Field, Blue Upper Left Corner with Red Christian Cross on it.

As a bonus, it happens to be the flag of the Third Crusade (against Islam).

“I pledge allegiance to the Christian Flag and to the Savior for whose Kingdom it stands. One Savior, crucified, risen, and coming again with life and liberty to all who believe.”

have been energetically and deliberately shredding it for more than 110 years.

In looking for the image, google brought up a posting from DU. The posting said that “fundies should secede and set up their own country under this flag”.

Well, doesn’t sound like a bad idea, but I know the leftist control freaks would never allow it.

We need names. Was the complainer's name Abdul by any chance? Tyranny of the minority.

Only Chrisian flag I’ve ever seen till now was the Vatican
flag (in Catholic churches).

ACLU (and others) would probably have a sh*tfit if they flew
that one.

That may indeed be what it takes. Rather, we should kick out the "non-fundies" and banish them to NYC, LA, Sick Fagsicko, Rahmcago, etc.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

It’s doubly sad to see someone not even know what the Christian flag is. This was part of my history class when growing up as well as seeing if freely displayed.

Where did this come from? I’m a Christian and I never saw it before.

It looks good to me.

I have a better idea.

Why don’t the LEFTIES go to a country that already has what they want? Go to North Korea. Go to Iran. Go to any country in Africa. They already have what the left craves - godless socialism/communism.

TV and Hollywood. All six TV networks have Saudi shareholders, joint venture deals and other business deals. See the Saudi king’s nephew Price Al Waleed.

Idiots like TV and more than a few will bash me here because they love ball games and other idiocy.

The same reason that they really get in a snit whenever the 10th amendment, states’ rights, or secession comes up.

They’re CONTROL FREAKS, and cannot stand the idea of someone living their life outside of elitist control.
