Should the American Flag Be Banned -- in America?

^^^This

That result, on a Fox webiste is so far beyond belief, it has to be gamed.

Why do we tolerate this shit?

This happens only because we allow it to happen. If people would actually sack up, grow a spine, and put their money with their mouth is we would see less of this blatant disrespect. Yea, be that guy. Speak out. For some reason when you do speak your mind, people look at you like you have two heads which is why most people are afraid to. Pussies. The reason we have half the problems we do now is because they’re aren’t enough people willing to take initiative and actually do something about the problems they bitch about everyday. If you don’t at least attempt to contact this asshole to convey your deep disdain and dissatisfaction for his recent actions, you are part of the problem. This is a slap in the face to everyone who has striven to make this country great including veterans and current military members. I try to imagine how I would feel if I heard about this story while slowly walking through Arlington. I would go absolutely apeshit, want someone’s head on a platter and have enough epinephrine coursing through my veins to probably make some bad decisions.

Or we continue with our current plan of action because we seem to be getting good results with it.

Disrespect to our country is one thing I just can’t accept.

from a left of center stand point, i agree even CONSIDERING banning the united states flag from public dislpay is beyond ridiculous. i would even go as far as to say the only flags legal to display in public are the American Flag and each our our states/province’s flags. On private property, wave whatever you want. Or, if you must display national heritage to a nation other than america, in public, it must be on clothing not waving a flag.

You haven’t spent much time on forums like DU, Bartcop, LaRaza forum and places like that have you?

Lots and lots of “actual people” who would gleefully ban the American flag from public schools. There are some who would even vote to make it a “hate symbol.”

aaron, I’m so far right about the country most people can’t see me from where they are. :slight_smile: I am only moderate on abortion. I largely agree with your statement. But, I wonder when someone will demand I take my "Don’t Tread on me’ flag down from in front of my house.

WHAT THE FUCK:mad:?The fact that this poll is even being asked says how bad of shape we as a nation are in.:frowning:

america is plane; we got two wings, a fuselage and other parts, but our cockpit is often filled with sellouts taking orders from corporate run control towers flying everywhere we DO NOT want to fly(as a unified nation)
i would add, ‘my’ restriction on flag waving would be limited to other nations’ flags. state’s flags, the american flag, and any Non-nation flag should be ayeOkaye, as wells as agency flags: ie. PD’s, FD’s, DHS’, etc flags.

I just wanted to share an observation that I made regarding the flag. I grew up in a military household (grandfather was retired Navy, father is retired Army, I am active Air Force). We have always flown a flag in front of our house. I can remember when I was little many of our neighbors did the same thing, and on base it was pretty much every house. Fast forward to today, I live on a Air Force installation and I think I can count on one hand the number of folks who fly a flag in front of their house. Things have changed quite a bit in the past 20 years. It makes me sad. :frowning:

We should ban Communism in America…:mad:

Darn, we just got done voting that in. (Not Me) If the country has any brains we will vote that out in Nov.

Then what do we do with out current president? does he fall in a pre-ban clause like a 80’s AR lower? Sh*t I hope not lol.

This is absilutly f*cked-up! My parents and I were born in the Soviet Union, but you will NEVER see a Ukranian of Soviet flag outside out houses! I cant fly a flag outside my front door due to stupid condo rules, but my parents have the US Flag outside their house all the time!

Like someone said, you don’t like our flag [US FLAG THAT IS!] get the mother-fck out! Go back to what ever third world sht hole you crawled out of, catch malaria and die! A little too harsh? :confused: Sorry for the language.

And to the people who voted for the 60+ % against our flag, I saw we should take you by your underpants, and run YOU up the flag pole.

I would never ban a flag that i and many others have fought to protect. America would have a better chance of banning meatloaf. (Singer or food, doesn’t matter)

I think we are in for a bad ride guys. With this admin placing obamunists like Kagen in the supreme court they are stacking all odds in their favor. Even if we have a huge turn over in Nov, defund health care and attempt to overturn the damage they’ve done. The left wing / wing nuts will litigate everything to the supreme court and you know how their communist cronies will decide on the issues… Thing is, November is a long way away and at the rate this rogue government is moving, there is going to be a lot to clean up. :rolleyes:

Dude, if you really think they constitute 67% of a Fox News poll with over 100k responses, you need to get a grip.

That poll is hacked, I am 110% sure.

Exactly.

Regardless of wether or not that poll was inflated by people running scripts, there’s still a vast majority of people out there who would openly welcome such a decision. It’s basically spitting in the face of anyone who has ever fought and given their life for what our flag embodies. Wether it be our not-so distant relatives who died laying the foundation for this country during the revolution or the troops in our present-day operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. So if something like this flag ban were to actually happen then what did these people die for? As bad as it sounds I’m actually kinda glad that they’re not around to see their sacrifices so blatantly disrespected and cast aside all so some libtards can tap into some key demographics come re-election time. Makes me sick… Well I haven’t forgotten what this country means and I will never forget the sacrifices that have been made in my name and yours.

Sorry for the rambling diatribe…

Nope.

If we clean up politically and essentially “start again” outside of the two party system then:
We hold open elections. Anyone who votes for the collectivist party gets collectivism. We take ownership of their homes, and give homeless families a room to live in, giving the owners only one room to live in. They will work in a hard labor environment when we jump start our industrial economy again, and they will only get enough food to live.

Sounds to me once people are reminded of the horrors of the Soviet economy (minus the mass graves of “saboteurs” and “class enemies”), we will see collectivism destroyed.

I fly a flag everyday and at night with a light on it, below the American Flag is the U.S. Marine Corps Flag since my son is serving in the Marines. We need to educate our children about our Great Nation and the great things we have done and our blunders, it is our history, we need to stop feeding them the B/S that schools are currently teaching them. I believe that teachers now work off a National curriculum and it is flawed, just look at who’s in D.C.!. The teachers in our schools and colleges are more left of the center then anything and pass their ideas to the children. If I had any kids in school I would take them out and home school them. I am all for legal immigration, not illegal alien invasion.

so am i. i fly both the American flag and the Union Jack with pride on my site. we fly the American flag in front of our house.

a lot of this ‘politically correct’ stuff has crossed into the ‘politically absurdly over-sensitive’ category.
