Fifty percent voted yes. America is surely doomed.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
But its for..................THE CHILDREN!!!!!!!
These people are a bunch of gutless, spineless, brainless castrati.
The American Flag should NEVER be banned ANYWHERE in America.
As a matter of fact, if ANYONE wants to fly the flag of ANY another country in America, they should be REQUIRED to fly the American Flag to the RIGHT of that flag so the U.S. is ALWAYS flying on its own right.
Those damn Cinco De Mayo Celebrants should be put on a Mexican Burro, facing BACKWARDS, and sent across the damn border to Mexico where they belong. ALL OF THEM, citizen or not.
HOW the viewership of FOX News could POSSIBLY vote this way on this subject is totally beyond me.
I CAN’T stand these politically correct, cultural equivalent, morally relative drones and their thinking and nonsense ANY MORE!!!
I feel like I’m Alice In Wonderland or live in Through the Looking Glass. Right is wrong, left is right, up is down, dark is light, etc. etc.
Its GOT to stop.
See my response ExTexasRedhead.
I can’t take anymore of this stuff from these damn idiots!!!!!
Brave American men and women fought and died to protect that flag in COMBAT!!!!
We can’t even protect it here???!!!!
Amen!
Yes, I agree. While your angry about this, just remember that Michael Steele can’t find it in himself to level his political aim on Barack Hussein Obama. No, he’s busy complaining about racism in Republican ranks, for folks not being happy with his continued idiocy.
Where is the constant drumbeat from the right concerning Obama’s daily selling out of this nation? It’s a whisper, if anything. What the hell is that about?
Do we have a competing political presence in this nation or not. Frankly, NOT!
That must change or we’re done for. We couldn’t have done anything this nation has done without good people pushing damn hard for what was right.
What national level entity do we have doing that right now?
Bupkis!
Ah, for when the revolution is over and all mistakes buried.
OK, I'll flame you good.
I believe that, within America and it's territories, the US flag should be used to provoke anti American, unamerican, insurrectionists, anarchists, enemy agents, traitors and saboteurs into revealing themselves so they can be rounded up, prosecuted, imprisoned, expelled, exiled, or executed as the case may be.
Anyone who wants to ban the American flag is a sympathizer to this group and should receive the same treatment.
Here’s your little flame: Wrong.
Hmmm ... just curious ...
“The title of this poll is misleading. The proper question is not whether the American flag should “be banned in America,” but rather whether there are times and places where the American flag should be shown proper respect and not used to stir up trouble.”
Since when does the American flag, “stir up trouble”?
“There is NO move — none at all — to ban the American flag.”
Really?
“This does not appear to be a stand-alone poll, but one prompted by recent news events, possibly the incident in California last month when kids were told not to wear American flag t-shirts to school.”
Should it be a crime to wear an America Flag pin or shirt with an American flag on it - of course in AMERICA!
“Schools — just like business, police, military, courtrooms, airlines, etc. — should have a dress code that eliminates distractions.”
So is the America flag a “distraction” and be eliminated?
“There’s a time and a place for everything. School kids should be studying, not wearing political symbols of ANY kind. Their minds should be on learning to be productive and well-educated citizens, capable of contributing to society as adults.”
Oh, so in school, especially when they study U.S. History, we should hide the AMERICAN flag so the kiddies aren’t distracted? I have no problem with kids wearing the America flag on their shirt - Old Navy has no problem with it either ... wonder why YOU do?
Being “well educated” means having pride in this country in particular. To be ashamed of it and only bring it out when it appears to not “offend” ILLEGALS is insane. If they don’t want to be part of our country, then LEAVE.
Can you seriously imagine Mexico NOT ALLOWING their flag flown or worn any time a LEGAL or properly registeres guest would like too? I can’t.
Psst - STOP BEING ASHAMED of your country - that is if you are an American
I don’t think the current results of this stupid poll are representative of the feelings of Americans at all.
There’s been a recent trend which has developed, where nearly every poll run by Fox News runs hard to the left, or shows a greater proportion of left-leaning votes than one would expect in a decidedly center-right country.
There’s no doubt in my mind that the left is running a coordinated, and ongoing assault against these Fox opinion polls.
Forget ‘em. They don’t comport with observed reality.
as of now
Thank you, we have already counted your vote.
No. This is a lame decision. Teach the kids what the flag means, instead of banning it. 37% (441,856 votes)
Yes. The safety of students comes first. 49% (589,292 votes)
Not sure, but of all things to ban, the American flag would seem the least ‘incendiary.’ <1% (2,641 votes)
Other (post a comment) 14%
Moveon.org, Organizing for America, and SEIU have been twittering today to go to Fox Poll and vote to ban the Flag. They are overpowering the poll in favor of banning our flag.
SHOW THEM WHAT TRUE PATRIOTS BELIEVE! Let’s flip those numbers and show the leftist we are organized and on the move. Let’s kick some union butt. Flip the poll numbers now &FLIP THE HOUSE in November!
The DUmmies and KosKidz have been hitting these polls hard as of late.
