That’s BS. Taking down the flag and storing your patriotism is precisely what libs LOVE.
I recall a comment by the singer, Rickie Lee Jones, shortly after 911. As many Americans where flying the flag from their homes, she said the sight of Old Glory made her feel sick.
Until we can eliminate that corruption we must fall back to the tenth amendment and our basic States rights. The flag is a symbol of 50 United States.
We don't have that anymore and until we make another flag with 37 or so States on it, I can no longer salute the existing flag and I am ex-military. The only government I have to protect the existing constitution as the founders meant it to mean, is my State House and local governments. Until this situation changes to my satisfaction, the 50 united states of America no longer exists as of tonight.
