Vexillologists can study flags and how people respond to flags.

But real Americans are vexed by the unvetted uncaring imposter pRes_ _ent
who cares more for his own vexillum and the flags of Islam than that of America.

We’re now operating under a false vexillology, which imposes a total ban on the Confederate battle flag—and presumably the Confederate national flag as well.

The Confederacy is part of our history and heritage, and it is the height of clintonism/obamunism to erase it from memory!!!!

I don’t know much about vexillology but in my opinion the white house is upset over Orlando mostly because the oval office is occupied by a great big flag.

Apologies for any spelling errors.

Might I suggest a future word of the day: martinet. noun. Someone who demands a rigid, absolute obedience to details, rules and other forms of procedure and behavior as put forth by a superior. Hillary Clinton is the ultimate martinet. Never allowing her staff to say or do anything unless she gives complete approval.
