This is what NBC, the NY Slimes and the likes of Dan Rather help promote.

My heart says that sooner or later Americans will push back against this all-out assault on or country.

I hope they never finds out who did it. Marines have a way of “dealing” with tough situations.

Almost pity the poor smuck if they ever identify him.

I would like to ping the appropriate ping lists, but I am not sure who they are. Any help in pinging will be appreciated.

In another age, I would say it was neighborhood kids.

Today, I would say that it is his aging hippie, Prius-driving angry grey-headed Obama-obsessed union-thug neighbors.

I agree. I have never seen hatred for anything greater than the types you describe have for America.

The people will only be pushed so far before they push back with greater force.

I hope you are wrong, for the sake of all, but fear you may be right.

I can speculate as much as the rest. Probably some misguide utes with time on their hands looking to commit some mischief and a chuckle. Something that would get the attention of the adults in the area and appease their rebellious streak. Something to laugh about in the future, like when we TP’d the coach’s house in our youth.

Someone Opened a Can of Fire

God help the perp that torched the Marine's flags. Some dumb Democrat opened the wrong can of fire and will pay dearly. (This picture is only a prophetic representation of the perps house.)

Really disgusting.

I’m in a very liberal state, Vermont. Yet I have a large flagpole on the rise outside our house, with a 4ft x 6ft American flag on it, and most people seem to like the looks of it. I’ve never heard a complaint.

I think maybe it’s not just liberals, but young, rich, urban, privileged liberals, who are the worst offenders.
