And right there, in a nutshell, is the problem.
I've been around a lot of drilling rigs and every rig has a flag
The frack tanks have flags and a few of us had flags between our teactor and the trailor (sand can)
I've passed a few flags in my travels and I have given a military salute and held it 'til I passed by.
This article is just another piece of evidence varifying how deep the enemy is embedded in our culture/politics and lives.
Brandl, The Man Without a Country
The article says “IDOT”.
I think they misspelled it: “IDiOT” seems more appropriate.
And the iron workers quiesced? Pu$$ies.
Too bad they didn’t simply reposition the flag to the Illinois side of the span and tell Brandl to go buy a vowel (in slightly harsher language).
Who knew our flag was a distraction?
I an an engineer working for Caltrans, the California state DOT. It is California state policy not to allow any advertisements or flags or anything to be attached to California state bridges.
On the face of it, it is stupid. In the old days you could fly Old Glory and that would be that. Or you could put up a sign “Merry Christmas”. Same deal. That would be that.
Today, the ACLU will sue you into oblivion and win, allowing every nutcase from fags to neo-nazis to put up their flags any time they want. All we would have to do is give explicit permission for a contractor to post Old Glory on a California bridge, and after that, you would have to allow the gag glag (Rainbow flag) or the nazi flag. Here in California, the massive hispanic population would be flying the Mexican flag from every bridge.
The problem is not that DOTs & States are not patriotic or don’t want old Glory. The problem is that the USA has embraced modern insanity where common sense is dead and you have to constantly play defense against lawsuits and litigation for everything from big dollars, to just outright flaming stupidity like this.
If the voters would unelect all the socialist and moron activist commie politicians, and elect conservatives and other politicians who reflect common sense and solid core values, then this would not even be an issue.
As long as the USA continues to circle the toilet bowl, allowing the inmates to run the asylum, this is the kind of insane idiocy that will dictate terms to us. Things are only getting worse. More lawsuits. More stupidity. Less common sense.
Pray for this nation before it is too late.
By the way, this applies ONLY to our state bridges & roads & things. If the contractor wants to suspend Old Glory high above our bridge from his work crane, that is absolutely fine. That is his property and he can run 500 US flags from it if he wants. They always had lit up Christmas trees dangling from the cranes, and that was perfectly allowable. The contractor can post anything he wants, as long as it isn’t illegal.
Of course if he posted a nazi flag, we would probably get quick direction from the police that he was disturbing the peace and we would have to direct him to take it down. But he can hang US flags from his cranes and equipment all day and all night. He just can’t hang it from our bridges, for the reason already stated about us having to then let allow flying the gay flag, nazi flag and Mexican flags and all others.
