I'm a recent transplant from Texas. So not a real yankee, if you ask real yankees, but diversity is our strength after all.Get Off My Lawn said:So you're a yankee, huh? Makes sense. Glad you're not casting votes in Texas.Actual Talking Thermos said:I see so many more people flying the American flag (or many of them) at their homes and businesses and throughout their towns in blue as hell New England than I ever did in Texas. Patriotism means different things to different people. But generally "I hate my country and would never lift a finger to defend it" is not a sign that you're in the more patriotic group.Logos Stick said:Actual Talking Thermos said:No, and they don't feel any better about the WH display after it's revealed that it actually does comply with the flag code. Because it was never about the flag code, obviously.nai06 said:Logos Stick said:nai06 said:Ralph79 said:nai06 said:Ralph79 said:
Dude drove to Home Depot to take a picture of some American Flags on sale because the 4th of July is coming up. You know, celebrating our Declaration of Independence.
Nah I was picking up a replacement washer for a garden hose and literally had to walk right past the display
But Section 8(i) of the flag code it pretty clear.
The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should
not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or
otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary
use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the
flag is flown.
It's not endorsing any other product but the American flag. Try again.
Read the code again it's not to be used for any advertising purposes in any manner. The company logo also seems to violate that rule as well.
But all of this is just stupid rhetoric because the flag code is unenforceable and generally disregarded by pretty much everyone.
What a stupid comparison. It's a display for flags on sale at Home Depot, not the freaking WH.
Still a flag code violation. Are you not mad about that too?
It's about intent. We know the intent of the Marxist woke degenerates in the WH and those that goaltend for them.
Honestly though, America is dead. That flag represents something that is long gone. I'd never lift a finger to defend what it has become. I honestly wish you guys wouldn't fly it at all. Fly the gay flag. Fiy the hammer and sickle. Fiy the BLM flag. The fact that you fiy it at all, regardless of manner, is desecration enough. I'd rather you just didn't, and truth be told you'd rather not either.
