Go to FOX and vote NO on banning the American flag in schools! This is disgusting, to put it mildly. Your voice needs to be heard.

What's the story on this? I voted no, but is there some group out there trying to make this happen?

This is the most ridiculous thing I have seen in a long time.  Who are those 600,000 people that are voting to ban the flag?  This country is in big trouble if we can't even agree that the flag should be flown.

I think I just had an insight as to what the problem is.  We are the United States of America.  United we stand.  Now that we are the world's only super power, there is nothing for us to be united against.  So we have become a house divided, which we all know can not stand.  If the country continues down this path, we will implode before the end of this century.

Think about it for a minute.  During the cold war, no body would question flying the flag.  A common enemy serves to unite, and since we no longer have a common enemy, we have bickered amongst ourselves to the point that we are totally dysfunctional, and our government is completely inept, regardless of which political party is in power.

May 6, 2010 – American Flag Banned at California School… Students Sent Home for Wearing US Flag T-Shirts on Cinco de Mayo.

06-05-2011. Moveon.org, Organizing for America, and SEIU have been twittering yesterday and today to go to Fox Poll and vote to ban the Flag.

Sure go ahead and ban it. We wouldn't want to offend anyone by displaying something that has always stood for Liberty, Honor and Freedom!

Put the cuckoo back in the clock. Might as well spray Round-Up on Arlington National while we're at it. >:(

Fly the Flag.

TOMB OF THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER

Interesting facts about the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Sentinels of the Third United States Infantry Regiment "Old Guard"

Q: How many steps does the guard take during his walk across the tomb of the Unknowns and why?

A: 21 steps. It alludes to the twenty-one gun salute, which is the highest honor given any military or foreign dignitary.

Q: How long does he hesitate after his about face to begin his return walk and why?

A: 21 seconds, for the same reason as answer number 1.

Q: Why are his gloves wet?

A: His gloves are moistened to prevent his losing his grip on the rifle.

Q: Does he carry his rifle on the same shoulder all the time, and if not, why not?

A: No, he carries the rifle on the shoulder away from the tomb. After his march across the path, he executes an about face and moves the rifle to the outside shoulder.

Q: How often are the guards changed?

A: Guards are changed every thirty minutes, twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year.

Q: What are the physical traits of the guard limited to?

A: For a person to apply for guard duty at the tomb, he must be between 5' 10" and 6' 2" tall and his waist size cannot exceed 30".

Other requirements of the Guard:

They must commit 2 years of life to guard the tomb, live in a barracks under the tomb, and cannot drink any alcohol on or off duty FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. They cannot swear in public FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES and cannot disgrace the uniform {fighting} or the tomb in any way.

After TWO YEARS, the guard is given a wreath pin that is worn on their lapel signifying they served as guard of the tomb. There are only 400 presently worn. The guard must obey these rules for the rest of their lives or give up the wreath pin.

The shoes are specially made with very thick soles to keep the heat and cold from their feet. There are metal heel plates that extend to the top of the shoe in order to make the loud click as they come to a halt. There are no wrinkles, folds or lint on the uniform. Guards dress for duty in front of a full-length mirror.

The first SIX MONTHS of duty a guard cannot talk to anyone, nor watch TV. All off duty time is spent studying the 175 notable people laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery. A guard must memorize who they are and where they are interred. Among the notables are: President Taft, Joe E. Lewis {the boxer} and Medal of Honor winner Audie Murphy, {the most decorated soldier of WWII} of Hollywood fame. Every guard spends FIVE HOURS A DAY getting his uniforms ready for guard duty.

This is sickening, something has to change in our judicial system, Judges, or this country is doomed.

Fly the Flag.

Helicopter Crash in Afghanistan Reportedly Kills Members of SEAL Team 6

KABUL, Afghanistan -- A military helicopter was shot down in eastern Afghanistan, killing 31 U.S. special operation troops, most of them from the elite Navy SEALs unit that killed Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, along with seven Afghan commandos. It was the deadliest single incident for American forces in the decade-long war.

Tragic news! 25 Navy Seals according to news reports.

This is horrible news.  Now that Osama has been killed, is it time to finally bring our troops home?  I haven't been following the wars recently, so I have no idea.  Obviously we should stay until the job is done, but not a day longer than necessary, in my opinion.

Hey guys/ladies I am going to sound harsh but get mad if you like. The Bible says when you take God out of your land you will crumble and we are3 on our way. We are a people that don't want to offend God's enemies. The queers have more rights and say-so than a regular man. People of other religions and can come here blow up our buildings and planes and kill our people and we don't won't to offend them. We the most useless President in history. He nothing but a look at me cause of who I am I can be boss nothing you can do while I ruin your country. This ain't even his country, he wants to be more like Africa where just because your black you can take other peoples farms.
I have friends who died for this country as others do, and all the idiots that voted for change you got it. Your change for your kids future is shot. They will never have a future. Now laugh while your voting at the next election. This country is the sorriest I have ever seen it, you don't have to marry to be called man and wife you just shack up and draw social security. Why should you work lay on your sorry back spread yo legs for any man and run get another check. I am a Precher of God's Holy word but I have feelings and I will support my Flag and my gun! If you don't believe me come and try to Take it Like a Man! RTR!

Don't hold back Preacher. Tell us how you really feel.

Great post.  #+

Thank you pmull but my Lord this country is going to waste and Obama is the blame cause he is suppose to keeping house in order well if he was man enough. RTR!

I have in my home a 48 star flag given to my Mother upon the death of my Father..Pfc. James M. Bishop, WW II, Apr 24, 1945, Tittling, Germany, 21st Armored Inf Battalion, 11th Armored Division.

I fly this flag on the one day a year it is permissible to fly a flag other than the official 50 star flag..and I BEG any liberal, *ssh*h*le, c*cks*cker who thinks I don't have the right to fly this or any other flag to come on down and let's have a man to man "discussion", I will be talking with a fully loaded weapon.

S*ck-*ss communistic liberals and politically correct educators are welcome to join in, I will have plenty of "words" (ammo) for all of you.

We have some of these at our beloved U of A...I have seen them, heard them, and they walk among us.

A pox on them all.

God bless your father and your family.  #+ to all of you who have posted on this thread. What probably happened here is that somebody got their little feelings hurt about something and their parents went running to the ACLU, the most liberal, arrogant, worthless pos , oxygen wasting, dutchbags ever to walk this earth. Nothing would make the ACLU happier than to bring this country to it's knees, and if something doesn't happen soon, they will. I read a while back that the ACLU has only lost one court case that it's been involved in. I would tell you what ACLU REALLY stands for, but I would be banned.

BTW, the Navy Seals shot down in that helicopter were from the same unit as the ones who killed Bin Laden. None of those killed were actually on the Seal team 6.

I believe this started because some students came to school wearing shirts with American flags on them on cinco de mayo.

Ricky ... you've had post before that were really good some were ok ... but on this one ?
you seem to have let this get to you pretty bad to type the words you did
as I read it I started to think this guy has gone off the deep end here
and sounds like he could get violent ! talking all crazy and stuff !
I couldn't believe this was coming from a Preachers keyboard !
so now ....I just wanted to applaud you
we need more Americans to feel that way
more that aren't worried about being PC
we need a lot more to stand up to these un-Americans trying to bring our great country to it's knees
more like you and bamalum67  ... thank you and carry on ! 

Ban the Flag and it's over for America
we have to take our country back folks !
where are all the Patriots ? America needs you ! 


 




 

 It's sad this is happening but there is more disrespect toward the American Flag and National Anthen now than I have ever seen. When I attend events where each is recognized it just amazes me at the people that have no respect for either.

I don't tell this to toot my own horn, but some years ago, a new elem school opend up in our town here in SC..It so happened that while waiting to get my hair cut, I overheard a lady say that the principal of this new school had forbade the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance!

I went to the next school board meeting, asked about their policy on the pledge, and was assured that there was to be no ban at any school. I made it a point to go to this school, and tell the principal of the board's policy, and told her that if the Pledge was banned by her, I would be bringing suit.  I then wrote a letter to the school's PTA..many parents also wrote letters. I did not even have any kids in the school system, but it burned my *ssabout this principal.

Point is, folks, we GOTTA stand up for what we believe!  The politically correct liberal *ssholes dont' have all the rights!

good for you bamalum67 ! good for you !    #+

that's what I'm talking about ! 
that so called principle needed to be taught the American way 
love it or leave it !

Tennessee Woman Told to Remove American Flag Outside Her Optometry Office

Dawn Kamin said she would expect opposition to the flying of an American flag in more liberal parts of the country – but not the suburbs of Memphis, Tenn.

Kamin said she was ordered to remove an American flag she had posted outside her optometry office.

“I was just appalled,” said Kamin, who runs Affordable Eye Care in Germantown, Tenn. “It’s the American flag. Really?”

Really.

According to a letter sent to Dr. Kamin, the flag pole and the flag violated the bylaws of the business condominium group. She was told to take down the flag or face the consequences.

Officials with Tesco Properties told Fox News Radio they would not comment on specific issues related to the flag controversy “as they should be dealt with in the appropriate manner between the parties and not through the media.”

Kamin said she was flying the flag to honor the military.

“I have family in the military and we have really become aware of our freedoms and what our soldiers do for us,” she said. “It’s not tacky. It’s just out of respect for our military and the wonderful country that we have the privilege of living in.”

Kamin demanded to see the business condominium’s bylaws, but she said so far Tesco Properties has not complied.

She said the condo association told her that if the flag was not removed by August 22, they would remove it and she would be required to cover the costs. Kamin said that’s not going to happen – and now she’s got an attorney.

“I intend on flying it as long as I possibly can,” she said.

If I could afford it, I wouldn't mind chipping in to cover her attorney's fees. Good for her.

This is crazy but then America is not America anymore. It now belongs to the radicals. RTR!
