‘I Stand For The Flag, I Kneel At The Cross’: Allegheny Co. Democratic Party Chair Forced To Resign
pittsburgh.cbslocal.com ^ | October 10, 2018 | Jon Delano

Mark Salvas says he was forced to resign over two social media posts, one that he posted a year ago and one that his wife posted in July.

“I was asked by the chair of the Allegheny County Democratic Party to resign my position due to the controversy that was taking place on social media, and I did,” Salvas told KDKA political editor Jon Delano on Wednesday. “It’s never easy when people you have never met accuse you of things and call you names, and you’ve never met them.”

A former Marine and Gulf War veteran, Salvas was just hired in September as executive director of the county party, long after he posted a picture of his wife and him on Facebook with the words, “I stand for the flag, I kneel at the cross.”

“I’m not ashamed of my patriotism, not one bit. I fought for this country. I think I have a right to have a voice and be patriotic,” says Salvas.

The demonicRAT Party is anti-America. There's nothing in the least bit "patriotic" about involvement with that den of traitors, or about voting for its candidates.

Another Trump Democrat feels the wrath of the flagburning babykillers that have taken over the Democrat Party.

Mark, president Trump and his 62+ million deploreables will be glad to welcome you.

Just, stop being part of the anti American liberal mob.

A little play on the Liberty Insurance company ad. “You got the wrong policy. No, I got the wrong political party.” You can’t be a commie ‘RAT and American patriot at the same time. The two aren’t compatible.

This guy is very confused. First, why he is even in the anti-God party, the party of perversion? Second, why are you trying to be in leadership in this anti-American, anti-Military party, Communist party?

A thought crime in the Democrat Party.

Standing for the flag is racist, according to the ‘RATS. The worse fox paws in the eyes of the Left, though, is being a Christian.

The guy can’t be very sharp. Maybe now he’s smart enough to WalkAway.

But you should be ashamed to have your good name associated with a neo-Bolshevik violent anti-American mob. Just what were you thinking, man?

Given this, does anyone doubt that sooner or later this will come to violence?

I’m sure he’s not the only Democrat official who’s thinking WTF has happened to his party! Two years ago the media was gleefully talking about the imminent demise of the GOP because of Trump. Well it looks like the Democrats are coming apart at the seams because of Trump. He’s forced them to expose their true selves to the people of this country! The winning never gets old!

Yet he remains a Democrat. Sorry, pal the actions of the Democrats means you are kneeling for the flag just by registering to their party.

The Democrat Party wants to kill all non-progressives. Such is the sequence of socialism.

Salvas, just go down the street and join the GOP, you are most welcome.

Help us bury these liberal fascists who are trying to take over our country.
