McDonald's flies flag upside down

The American flag at the Follansbee McDonald's is flying at half-staff and upside down today. Someone at the restaurant told one of our reporters this was "the owner's decision." What are your thoughts?

If it didn’t work for Benghazi, it shouldn’t work for them. If they can be swayed so easily by a one shot helicopter fly over, then let them freeze. Never thought I’d say that about a fellow American, but let’s face it... the lives of our people in Benghazi meant nothing to them, their lives mean nothing to me.

I agree. We have been rethinking our travel plans because I refuse to spend one dime in a state that supported Obama and the leftist scum that I don’t have to. Unfortunately we live in VA so I’m kinda stuck.

You have it half right! Don’t just cut back on hiring them. STOP buying from them! Never buy another Katy Perry or Beyonce CD. If you have them return them to the studio that hires them. Never buy another product from a state that elected that joke and his posse, if you can help it. Never watch, or rent another movie made by Samuel L. Jackson or Morgan Freeman, return them to the studios and tell them why. Bankrupt them. WE are the working class buying their crap and allowing them to spend millions supporting this socialist agenda. Let Obama tax their riches and not earn anymore. When they are as poor as we are, maybe then they will wake up. If not? They at least we no longer have to hear about how Beyonce’s spawn has diamond encrusted slippers, yet the pigs won’t give a dime to their fellow New Yawkers!

I have a 30’ flagpole in my front yard. I took the flag down 4 years ago and had hoped to raise her today.... I won’t be.

Same here. For the last four I only flew it on July 4, AND with my Gadsden flag underneath old glory.

I was flying two flags: The Old Glory and underneath the “Come and Take It” flag. You know, the one with the cannon. I’ve put the US flag away and “Come and Take it” flys alone. Will probably replace the US flag with the State of Texas flag. I don’t feel part of the country anymore.

Alan Keyes was wearing his flag pin upside-down on his lapel back during Clinton’s second term. Speaking of which...many have found themselves crying and weeping today...my wife said women were weeping at work today (and that is in Communist Red Hampshire)...I don’t seem to recall people on the right weeping after Bob Dole was defeated. People get it, don’t they?

I hear you, FRiend, and am right there with you.

I'm collecting "donation request" mailers we receive and sending them back with: So sorry, due to 0's re-election, our income will be greatly impacted. Therefore, we are not able to donate, like we normally do. Perhaps 0 can assist with your *cause* over the next four years.

I'm also going to call every catalogue company that I receive and ask to be removed from their mailing list, for the exact same reason. Christmas will be very pared down, the next four years.

Being very selective where $$ is donated or spent. FR is on my *Good List*.

Amen. If you’re a member of the responsible, adult half of the former America I’ll help you when in need any way I can. If instead you are one of the clueless children who inhabit Obama’s “America”, don’t come to me to heal your boo boo’s. You made your choice. Go ask your daddy Obama for help.

Good luck with that.

You'd be facing charges of discrimination...at least.

Where is this? We need to give this franchise the Chick-fil-A treatment.

Because next year McDonald’s will NO LONGER GET AN OBAMACARE WAIVER

Say hello to $10 big macs

Doubt it. More likely -- say hello to a lot of 29 hour McDonald's workers to AVOID Obamacare.

When I was relocated to New Hampshire; I changed the flag on my profile page to an American flag, because there was no way in hell that I was going to fly the flag of Red Hampshire. Since I am going home soon (on my feet or in a box); I might as well beat the rush and change it back to Tennessee.

which didn’t actually accomplish anything, but it was clever.

Clever you call it. I call it patriotism.

but the long term accomplishments are still zero.

And you got the same ZERO as he did. And you speak of long term - I doubt he was looking for anything long term, he's a bit more up on things. Our nation is in distress, who is going to help. They are too busy laughing! The one mighty and powerful nation has fallen - what obama wanted all along as he and his clan celebrate.

I am a proud owner of MCD, as well. It’s done a darned good job for me, too.

I just took down my Stars & Bars. I guess I'm going to get one of those flags like yours or the 'Don't Tread On Me' flag.

I'm sick to my stomach today.

Boehner got caught fornicating with a sheep somewhere, and he is being blackmailed for it. That is why he is useless.

When they showed up this afternoon I had to tell them I changed my mind. That I would rather give the items to homeless vets on the street than anyone on the east coast who voted for this socialist pig. At least the vets earned my respect.

Don't bother. I was at an event today put on especially for 'homeless vets' and they all voted for their free stuff. I talked to a lot of them today. I'm a vet too and I've come to the conclusion that the MSM brainwashing is complete.

Are hollow gestures that accomplish nothing patriotic? Or are they just hollow gestures that accomplish nothing.

I don’t think he is up on things. If he was up on things he’d realize doing that was going to cost him his stores.

Yes you did:
“and you are concerned he will offend someone and make someone mad? “
