I refuse to fly or display the American Flag anymore. It now represents a Marxist nation.
I took mine down the day Obama was elected to his second term. Don't know when/if it'll ever fly again.
Replaced it with the "Come and Take It" flag.
My thoughts ever since a majority of voters elected a hardened, serious, socialist the first time. Largely because they are ignorant, but largely because middle America (including nominal conservatives) LIKE the tenants of socialism and statism.
The U.S. flag no longer represents liberty, rule of law, property rights, and a background of nominal plus actual Christian virtue. It has been overcome by a voting public thoroughly entrenched in secular Progressive socialist statism.
With the election of Obama, we passed the tipping point. We will not swing in the direction of Constitutional liberty or Christian faith without major, violent upheaval.
The U.S. flag really is dead, it seems to me, as a symbol of liberty and the supremacy of the political individual. In my mind, if we salute the flag we salute those of our neighbors who vote to seize liberty and property from their neighbors.
Bad temporal times are coming. If you don't know Jesus Christ as your savior, now would be a good time to read the four gospels, for yourself, and examine just what it is he asks of you. Don't make bad temporal times extend into bad eternal times. Please read the Bible for yourself.
