I can't agree, I think the point is missed. I think it is totally appropriate to fly the flag upside down in times like these. This is not something I take lightly, but people don't seem to realize.
We have been betrayed by those in power. When traitors run the country we are indeed in distress, so it is appropriate.
They refuse to provide for the common defense, secure our borders and they almost never act in the best interest of the People. Actually they do act in the best interest of some people, just not those who they should.
We truly do have taxation without representation. And I am not talking about DC or Puerto Rico. We have foreign entanglements, we have corporate control of the media, we have zoning restrictions used on private prayer groups in FL, and in that same state a bunch of old geezers ARRESTED for playing pinochle for a penny a point.
We have a guy sent to jail for importing lobsters, we have SENT a guy to rot in a Mexican jail for shipping something that is illegal there, not here. Let's not even get into the Trafficant frame-up. We had Clinton who left a trail of dead bodies between Arkansas and the Whitehouse, and he was 10 times better than what we got now.
In my view, at this juncture in history, I would deem it not only appropriate to fly the flag upside down, I think it would be inappropriate to fly it right side up.
We are in deep deep shit folks, and it is headed for the fan. It is time to wake up.
You want more ? I got more. The thing is, can you handle it ? It takes alot of self control not to go nuts once you see the big picture.
Getting to the bigger picture, I see no reason to fly a flag at all until We The People regain control of our country. If this shit keeps up, your choices will be whether to go to Burger King or McDonald's. Our values are gone, and I didn't even say freedoms, that is a given. What is really gone is the spirit of freedom, it has died.
I will not burn a flag, however. Ever. I have little respect for most in this country, I think most are sheeple and stupid. Most have no idea of how this country should be, and have no respect for real law, which is contained in the Constitution.
However I will not burn a flag because it seems to be a symbol for soldiers. People who, whether misguided or not, layed their life on the line. While these actions are squandered by the government, they believed that they were fighting for our country. To burn a flag is to kick them in the face figuratively, and I refuse to do it.
Burning a piece of cloth has about as much impactr as putting it up on a flagpole. Nothing. But burning it incenses people who were willing to give all. How can you do that ?
I will not burn the US flag, nor will I fly it, even on the fourth of July. Independence day only means something if we had maintaned our freedom, and we have not. I also do not go to the fireworks, nor blow any off. I also do not play any music on "Independence" day. I do not celebrate it at all, because there is nothing to celebrate. We are not free at all.
This is more than the usual cramping of freedom required once overpopulated, they do everything for money. Eminent domain is used for shopping malls, or high rise apartments, simply to get more tax money. The bad part is that people didn't rise up the first time.
You who have been soldiers, hats off to you. I'll buy you a drink. I'll help you any way I can within reason, just realize who you worked for. Traitors. And that sucks. You took an oath and lived by it, what happened to their oath ?
Here's a joke for ya. You know why they keep the original Constitution in a nitrogen filled chamber under heavy guard ? To keep politicians from literally wiping their ass with it.
Tough times, tough talk, will I be tough enough if I ever get the chance to really make a difference ? Only time can tell, and might not.
Live each day to the fullest, because we really are doomed. Our most sacred values are gone, we are next.
And don't burn flags. That is a kick in the face to people who would lay down their life for you, or at least thought they did. However I can't go against flying it upside down, in fact it should be flown upside down everywhere in the country. And that is not disrespect, that is truth.
Boils down to this. This country is a flag and a Constitution, which do you think is more important ?
Let's get perspective now. You get pissed if someone burns a flag. I do, I was not in the military but some were. You don't do that. It hurts them, and it helps nobody.
Now let's say I get a copy of the Constitution and burn it ? Might as well. Would that possibly offend the politicians like burning the flag would soldiers ? No. Why ?
Respect. Soldiers have respect for the flag, politicians only respect money. Like I said, they would not hesitate to wipe their ass with the Constitution.
My friends, I regret to inform you that it is starting to look like the stars do indeed belong at the bottom of the flag.
This shit is not making me happy, I am going to stop now, but I will leave you with the following.
Define patriotism. Look it up if you have to, do the words blind obedience come up in the definition ? I think not. This country was founded by rebels. And it is dying with reberls as we watch.
The gumption to change, to make things right starts in our hearts and minds, nowhere else. Until we get that back, we are really doomed.
