Furious AOC melts down over Supreme Court Justice Alito's 'Appeal to Heaven' flag at his beach house and calls it a 'threat to democracy'
UK Daily Mail ^ | 05/23/2024 | ON MICHAEL RAASCH

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez fumed that a Supreme Court Justice is a threat to democracy because of a flag displayed at his beach home last year.

AOC went on MSNBC to slam Justice Samuel Alito for flying a Revolutionary War-era flag featuring a pine tree and the slogan 'An Appeal to Heaven' at his New Jersey vacation home last summer.

The flag originally was designed to be flown by U.S. naval ships in the Revolutionary War that were directly under the command of George Washington. Like the Gadsden Flag, which popularly features a snake and the 'Don't Tread On Me' slogan, and the American flag itself, it was flown on January 6, 2021, by some protestors.

And because of its use at the protest, at least in the eyes of the New York Democrat, whoever flies it therefore supports the Capitol riot.

'Samuel Alito has identified himself with the same people who raided the Capitol on January 6,' AOC told host Chris Hayes.

Like many men in the world, the primary thing they’re looking at when determining her attractiveness is her boobs.

I laugh that they still think "Jan 6th" resonates with anybody except them and the media.

Don’t give her the respect of calling her by the initials. That was started by FDR, taken up by JFK and LBJ. It’s become a Democrat thing trying to emulate those historical figures. Don’t give her the honor nor respect that she so desperately wants. Her name is Sandy Cortez…let’s leave it at that (and hope to G*d she gets voted out in November.) (How could she now be worth ~ $29 million dollars…hmmm….??)

Everyone keeps misunderstanding: It isn’t a “Threat to Democracy” that they are worried about.... It is a threat to DEMOCRATcy they fear..

When Barack won the election and I flew my “Appeal to Heaven” flag, I had lots of neighbors asking about it. Didn’t talk to many of them afterward.

My moniker here is ThePatriotsFlag, the reason is I fly as many of them (one at a time) as I can find. It is very interesting to research the history of each one. My neighbors often ask “Which one is that?” I enjoy giving the curious onlookers a little history lesson. No one has noticed I do not fly the USA flag, not as long as Biden is the appointed “president.” When Trump is re-ELECTED, a new USA flag will be on the pole, and all the patriot flags will take a well-deserved rest.

That's true, Cleisthenes started that concept in Athens, and it gradually was adopted in other Greek cities. However, it didn't spread to all of Greece, nor did it extend beyond Greece's borders.

It was the creation of Christianity that began its spread beyond the borders of Greece, and it was started within the Judea religion, which is why it's referred to as: Judeo-Christianity.

So, while you are correct the actual development happened in Athens, it took the creation of Christianity to spread it far & wide. Perhaps that's just my perception that I give Christianity the credit, and why I didn't go into depth of its actual origin of ever being practiced.

My bad. 🙂👍

America was founded as a republic. The founders despised democracy for good reason. When AOC or any left winger mentions democracy they mean democratic socialism.

I’ve met women I’ve initially found stunningly beautiful who, after interacting with them for a moment, suddenly seem repulsive.

I’ve also known women who were plain or even homely who, over time, grow to be quite attractive.

There’s more to attractiveness than appearance and a pretty box of garbage is still garbage.

But trying to dictate the thoughts and expression of others ISN’T a “threat to democracy?” Just when I think that AOC can’t be any more dense and clueless, she opens her mouth and surprises me. Repeatedly.

This is all aside from the fact that the US is NOT, NOT, NOT a democracy (see the Pledge of Allegiance - “...and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands....”

F’ing moron.

Graft, theft, and insider trading. The DC way.

On a happy note, DeSantis declared this week that all state bridges during the summer would only be shown in Red White and Blue. Pride colors need not apply. That has torqued up the fag community in Jax as they were planning on the usual rainbow colors on the Acosta Bridge.
