For the month of June, those working in the city of Richmond can view the Gay Pride flag as they go about their day as the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond has hoisted the colorful flag to fly just under our Stars and Stripes. President Obama has declared June as LGBT Month. Local Christians and conservatives are outraged but there is little that can be done about it. A private firm like the Richmond Federal Reserve can promote the homosexual agenda all they want.
Marshall to Richmond Fed: "Take Down That Flag"
Lawmaker questions gay pride flag flown from Federal Reserve Bank buildingObjections Fly with Rainbow FlagDelegate Bob Marshal wrote a letter to President Lacke of the Richmond Fed.
Dear President Lacke:
Flying the Homosexual Flag just under the American flag outside Richmond’s Federal Reserve Bank building is a serious deficiency of judgment by your organization, one not limited to social issues. The Fed’s policies are supposed to “contribute to the strength and vitality of the U. S. economy,” according to the official US Government Organization manual. A flagpole in front of a federal building is not a commercial or political message board. What does flying the Homosexual Flag, or any other similar display, have to do with your central banking mission under the Federal Reserve Act passed by Congress?
Moreover, the homosexual behavior “celebrated” by your Richmond’s Federal Reserve Bank spokeswoman undermines the American economy, is a class six felony in Virginia (18.2-361, VA Code), shortens lives, adds significantly to illness, increases health costs, promotes venereal diseases, and worsens the population imbalance relating to the number of workers supporting the beneficiaries of America’s Social Security and Medicare Programs.
The Richmond Fed’s endorsement of costly, anti-social, immoral behavior is rejected by 6,000 years of Western Religious and moral teaching. You want the American people to trust your judgement in economic matters when your spokesperson celebrates an attack on public morals? Why? Virginia’s Thomas Jefferson rejected such specious posturing. He wrote in 1809 to Don Valentine de Feronda, “I never did, or countenanced, in public life, a single act inconsistent with the strictest good faith; having never believed there was one code of morality for a public, and another for a private man.”
Mr. Lacke, take down that flag!
Sincerely,
Delegate Bob Marshall 13th District Prince William and Loudoun Counties www.delegatebob.com
Christian leaders spoke out and it has been reported that employees at the Richmond Federal Reserve are very upset about the move but are afraid to say anything in this "world of political correctness and diversity training".

Just another reason why Free Republic is the best conservative site on the world wide web.
The federal( what a joke) reserve is nothing but a private criminal organization. Until they are gone, I see little hope for this country.
Our Founding Fathers were vehemently opposed to the formation of a central banking system. When England tried to place the colonies under the control of the Bank of England, it resulted in the Revolutionary War.... the last straw of oppression by England. Now we are back to square one and the only way out will most likely be another revolution within our borders. When? Who knows? Maybe never, maybe tomorrow, maybe 10-20 years, but it will happen, not a doubt in my mind but this time, it will be like the Civil War, Americans against Americans. There is no way a country can remain united when they are so deeply divided. United States? Yea, right..*rolls eyes*.
(That's "Hallelujah" with a mouthful of muffins and pancakes.)
They're at it again bump.
The Federal Reserve is gay.
“Richmond Fed Flies Gay Pride Flag, Draws Criticism From State Lawmaker”

SNIPPET: “In a letter to Richmond Fed President Jeffrey Lacker, Robert Marshall, a Republican state delegate, called the flag “a serious deficiency of judgment by your organization, one not limited to social issues,” according to the Richmond Times Dispatch.
Marshall claimed that the homosexual behavior “celebrated” by the bank “undermines the American economy” and is a felony in the state, the newspaper reported.”
Gee, I wonder what would happen if somebody wanted to burn the F*g Flag?

They rear ended us all, and now flying the rainbow banner.
Maybe the Birchites are right . . . maybe the "international bankers" really are "secretly behind Communism!" [/sarcasm]
LOL!!! Good work!!!
Since when is the Federal Reserve, or a regional branch of it, private? It's part of the federal government, and it owes it's very existence to an act of Congress, or am I missing something here?
Seems like we're living in an Orwellian upside-down society, where what is traditionally "private" is now "public" (health care, for example) to allow scrutiny by the government elite and what was traditionally "public" is now declared "private" to avoid scrutiny of the government elite.

There are two types of jews - the Ashkenazi and the Sephardi.
Over 90 per cent of jews in the world today are Ashkenazi (plural, Ashkenazim)
http://churchoftrueisrael.com/13th-tribe
“The Jews of our times fall into two main divisions: Sephardim and Ashkenazim.
” The Sephardim are descendants of the Jews who since antiquity had lived in Spain (in Hebrew Sepharad) until they were expelled at the end of the fifteenth century and settled in the countries bordering the Mediterranean, the Balkans, and to a lesser extent in Western Europe. They spoke a Spanish-Hebrew dialect, Ladino, and preserved their own traditions and religious rites. In the 1960s, the number of Sephardim was estimated at 500,000.
” The Ashkenazim, at the same period, numbered about eleven million. Thus, in common parlance, Jew is practically synonymous with Ashkenazi Jew.”
You installed these people America.
You’ve been voting wrong for decades.
Now take the liberal sneers and insults....
Good, sound thinking!
AGREE!
Looks like it’s time for group paintball target practice in Richmond. Anyone up?

Current FAQs
Informing the public about the Federal Reserve
What does it mean that the Federal Reserve is “independent within the government”?
The Federal Reserve, like many other central banks, is an independent government agency but also one that is ultimately accountable to the public and the Congress. The Congress established maximum employment and stable prices as the key macroeconomic objectives for the Federal Reserve in its conduct of monetary policy. The Congress also structured the Federal Reserve to ensure that its monetary policy decisions focus on achieving these long-run goals and do not become subject to political pressures that could lead to undesirable outcomes. So, members of the Board of Governors are appointed for staggered 14-year terms and the Chairman of the Board is appointed for a four-year term. Elected officials and members of the Administration are not allowed to serve on the Board.
The Federal Reserve does not receive funding through the congressional budgetary process. The Fed’s income comes primarily from the interest on government securities that it has acquired through open market operations. Other sources of income are the interest on foreign currency investments held by the Federal Reserve System; fees received for services provided to depository institutions, such as check clearing, funds transfers, and automated clearinghouse operations; and interest on loans to depository institutions. After paying its expenses, the Federal Reserve turns the rest of its earnings over to the U.S. Treasury.
