These are unpatriotic to say the least. From www.usaflag.org, a site dedicated to the American flag and flag etiquette:
The flag should never be used for any advertising purpose. It should not be embroidered, printed or otherwise impressed on such articles as cushions, handkerchiefs, napkins, boxes, or anything intended to be discarded after temporary use. Advertising signs should not be attached to the staff or halyardWhy do they hate this country so much that they would desecrate the flag like that?

Can you libs please stop with the 'tea bagger' references? No one thinks you're funny except your own echo chamber...
ReplyDelete"Why do they hate this country so much that they would desecrate the flag like that?"
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should ask the liberals who have burned the flag in protest. They apparently hate the U.S. just as much, agreed?
Yeah Dan, we ALL do it.
ReplyDeleteSince when has the teabagger thing stopped being funny?
In ad word there is this little thing called research.
kr, are you having a bad day? Maybe you should reread what I wrote. I said "the liberals who have burned the flag"
ReplyDeleteI didn't say all liberals, I said, liberals who had burned the flag.
Get some reading glasses, old boy.
Point taken. Let's say both sides have a ways to go when it comes to grabbing the patriot label.
ReplyDeleteActually, the burning of a flag has been repeatedly tried in various courts, and found to be freedom of expression, as in the First Amendment.
ReplyDeleteThe sewing on a patch, etc, is just bad form.
It doesn't make much sense to me either, but that is the way it is.
That, for one of the few times, kr, I agree with you. It's the extremists on both sides, that I have a problem with.
ReplyDeleteBTW, kr, who is that a picture of. I've seen it before but cannot place it.
kr's icon, I believe, is the soup nazi from Seinfeld.
ReplyDeleteCapper I think Steve T on the RVW has a very valid point!

I ordered my flag and will be proud to have it represent a day of protests against TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, capper get a grip and take a look at what is coming to you courtesy of the IRS and Congress.
Regardless of what Biden says, paying higher taxes is not patriotic. A quick skim of the Constitution will clue you in to the reasons for limited government.

JeffN,
ReplyDeleteI already responded to his tantrum last night.
Ms. Thornton,
I think the faux outrage is rather droll. I do not recall any of these tea partiers protesting when Bush/Cheney were selling us to the elite big business types.
You gripe about a $10 tax hike, but don't blink when health care goes up by hundreds, or oil costs go up exponentially.

Faux outrage? Hardly. Amusement is more like it. There were plenty of protests over spending from Conservatives, including those in Congress, but there were never enough. Remember, the Dems had Congress for the last two years. True, it took us awhile to find a way to make the protests heard. After all, we are not code pinkers and we do not ask a member of Congress to spirit us into Congressional hearings and the like, just so that we can get hauled out with a camera on us.
About health care, I've worked all my life and I pay for my health care.
If we use America's natural resources, combined with sensible renewable energy, you won't have to care about the price of oil. Personally, I'll pay $15.00 a gallon for my gasoline if it will wake people up. Look what $4/gallon did?
The idea is this: we are TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY. The TEA party flags represent that message.
Is it taxes this time? I thought it was spending. Although there are some that think it is because Obama is black.
ReplyDeleteSee, the trick is to have a consistent message. But, like tea leaves at the bottom of a cup, your message is dark, murky and not worth the time to decipher.
Let's see capper. We were discussing the TEA Party flag: TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY.
ReplyDeleteThe consistent message is we are TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY. Take a look at your first response to me - off message, at least based on your post.
I really don't have the time or the desire to go link hunting, but I do recall that it was Dad29 that told us that the parties were about spending.
ReplyDeleteThe signs from the last on on April 15 belies your claim of a consistent message. White Slavery? Please.
Just a bunch of haters hating.
capper, what is you do not get about TEA? TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY.
ReplyDeleteSo yes, many at the TEA parties ALSO protested big spending, and many have been protesting big spending for years...getting nowhere.
Now, still on message here, if we are talking about the TEA Party flags, President Obama plans to tax us to pay for his spending. One follows the other.
Which brings us back to the question: Where were you in the last eight years?
ReplyDeleteI have a theory that right wingers don't give two hoots about people keeping their money. They only care that it goes to the "right" people.
Well capper, your theor would be wrong. We're going nowhere with this.
