ARE YOU KIDDING ME? SHE IS NOT WEARING AN AMERICAN FLAG!...
Patriotic use of Fourth of July apparel violates the U.S. Flag Code
If you patriotically bought American flag-patterned napkins for your barbecue this July Fourth, consider this: They violate the United States Flag Code. So does your flag beach towel, duvet cover and most Little League uniforms sporting the nation’s red, white and blue banner.
The problem, according to sections 8d and 8i of the code, is the flag should not be used "as wearing apparel, bedding or drapery ... It should not be printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes."
Issued by Congress in 1942, the code includes a plethora of rules — most of which are habitually broken — dedicated to protecting and respecting the flag. But don’t ditch your Stars and Stripes accessories just yet: Experts say no one’s going to show up and tread on you because the flag code is a guide, not a law.

C,mon! We're constantly reacting to the "political correctness" dialogue of the socialist regime. They are so far more organized than we are . They're in our faces every minute of every day and we keep biting and wasting our time. It's about time that real Americans start to attack the left the way they attack us. Our namby pamby approach to everything is to react. It's about time we take the war to them. We need to initiate in-your-face ruthless tactics. Forget the "rules" of civilized people - start denigrating them. Say what you want to say in plain English. There are libel laws, there are privacy laws, there are abuse laws - all this other crap about federal intrusions into our lives is just so much control mechanisms. Stand up and get rough. We have the right to speak our minds - so do it!
ReplyDeleteWhen our illegals and other coddled anti-American inhabitants trample the flag and burn it we have law enforcement protecting their "right" to do it - but we're not allowed to depict our patriotism in visual ways without some snotty liberal insulting us. Get with it folks - the time to stop playing "nice" is already here.
The American flag is beautiful! I'd rather see her wear it than 0commie and 0Congress spit on it.
