U.S. embassies defying Trump admin by flying ‘gay pride’ flag: ‘This is category one insurrection’
The National Sentinel ^ | 2019-06-10 | Jon Dougherty

The U.S. diplomatic corps, much of which hails from far-Left Ivy League institutions, has been the most defiant when it comes to obeying POTUS Donald Trump’s policies, as evident by the fact that several American embassies have hoisted the “gay pride” rainbow flag in defiance of the president.

After the Trump administration formally denied requests from multiple United States embassies to hoist the LGBT flag in honor of “Pride Month,” several of them, along with other diplomatic missions, are doing it anyway.

these actions by DOJ people should have serious consequences for such disobedience of direct orders.

Leftists are like naughty young children who do or say something and then sheepishly look around to see the adults reaction and punishment. No problem? Then "people tend to continue in the behaviors for which they receive a reward and not a punishment."

I read that standing and leafing at a bookstore once but can't find where someone said it.

Once the "sanctuary cities" lawbreaking was not punished, it's "Katy bar the door "(nod to the late Keith Jackson.)

Soon: "Mayor Pete for Prez" gay flags flown. "Resist Trump" Then "Nike Rocks--Your Ad Here $5,000"

“Drain the swamp” was a complete joke. POTUS left most if not all of the swamp in the State Department. America has one flag only.

I would be careful about this story. A couple of days ago there were multiple stories about CERTAIN Embassies being forbidden to fly the fag flag.

It applies only to hoisting it on the flag pole. Embassies are free to hang them on a wall and hold events celebrating gay day if they choose.

I’m just not sure this is an outright refusal to follow a presidential order or not.

For the sake of putting this in full perspective, let us look past the obvious moral implications of telegraphing certain types of behavior, which clearly deviate from the biological function of sexuality among sentient mammals & birds.

How does one take pride in being outside the loop, as it were, of functional sexuality?

A plea for compassion could be understandable, but "pride," in being different in the ongoing functionality of the life of a species makes no sense but as an indication of a bizarre desire to give offense.

Or are we missing something here?

Put another way, why does anyone take pride in flaunting behavior, which seeks to duplicate sensations that other people have always expected to keep private?

It’s only insurrection if they are flying their rainbows on the same flagpole, or higher than the US flag.

They’re allowed to fly their rag.

It is. Here’s one report on it:

“State Department policy dictates that embassies must acquire permission to fly the pride flag on their flagpoles. No embassy that has made the request has been granted permission as of yet, according to the NBC report, though they are allowed to display the flag inside and other places.”

Got that from Business Insider. I can’t locate the policy itself: everything is third-hand and starts at a liberal source and most lead back to the New York Times.

“...the pride flag can and is being flown elsewhere on embassy grounds, including inside embassies and on exterior walls...”

The decision is to not to allow it on the official flagpole.

“...embassies that want to fly the flag on their flagpoles are expected to obtain permission from Washington.”

“This year, U.S. diplomats said, embassies were told they can display the pride flag in other places, including inside embassies, but that requests to fly it on the flagpole must be specifically approved. No approvals have been granted.”

So THE TRUTH is that they can fly the fag flags wherever they want to, just not on “the official embassy flag pole”.

If they’re disobeying a simple order such as this, what OTHER orders are being flouted?

Fag flags can be displayed. I believe the restriction is they can’t be flown on the main flag display pole. It is being reported differently by several outlets.

This is rank insubordination of the highest order. These people must be rounded up and terminated from present and future gubment employment.

How do we “encourage” the President to do what he must do? He had better nip this in the bud quickly.
