You know....I thought about that Confederate Stars and Bars comparison as well, and suspect the same thing. Probably 90-percent of society has zero interest in flags, and they would easily get confused about the history behind the flags.

Comment from twitter:

“Betsy Ross flag is the history of our country, the thirteen original colonies. When Kapernak starts calling that flag racist it’s a step toward calling our present day flag racist . Statues, school nsmes, streets, holidays, everything’s got to go. I think Nike’s got to go. Bye “

China is now the biggest shoe producing country in the world, producing over one-third of the world’s top brand-name sports shoes.

Yeah, but Obama didn’t actually mean it, it was like all “American” symbols he used, just props for that thin veneer of America he had to project.

What about the queers co-opting the rainbow to signify pride? They co-opted it from God. It was His symbol first. Worked well for hundreds of years until the queerest stole it for their own. Now you can’t see one of those flags without thinking g of them instead of God’s symbol.

They are making every icon of this country a symbol of racism. Except this: (poster gives the one-finger salute.)

Facebook is now apparently censoring posts containing pics of the Betsy Ross flag.

Calling/paging all FR Facebook defenders. Come tell us how important Facebook is to your family!
