Senator Elect Scott Brown (R-MA) and the New Flag of the Second American Revolution (Reuters)
You may or may not have notice it, but at the Tea Party rallies all across the country a New redesigned American flag (seen here) has shown up. Seems the current American flag the one with 50 Stars representing our 50 States is no longer good enough for this group.
Millions have fought in Wars to protect our flag and the Republic for which it stands, we are currently fighting in two wars for the same reason, to protect our flag and our Republic.
Who do these people think they are to dishonor millions who swore an oath to protect our flag?
They call their flag the; “New Flag of the Second American Revolution”.
The website ResistNet.com started the push to have this new flag (seen here) shown in every state and their website says that a portion of the proceeds go to fund candidates who represent the Tea Party, which is great, but what was wrong with selling the Flag of the United States of America instead? You saw at their rallies last year that they hate the US Government, do they also hate the US flag as well?
The Mission statement gives their reasoning for the redesign American flag:
“Get the flag spreading across the country so no politician can travel the US without seeing the flag and being reminded they work for us.”
“Get the flag selling virally, so we can set-up a trust and use 95% of profits to support patriot candidates.”
“To achieve these missions, we hope you will tell your family and friends about our flag, as we continue to promote the flag nationally.”
Why couldn’t they sell the real American flag and use the proceeds to fund candidates? And why didn’t they design something that would tell the politicians that they “work for us” that did not dishonor millions who fought to protect our flag?
The Tea Party flag was even front and center at Senator elect Scott Brown’s (R-MA) victory speech the other night (seen here).
Are their positions so weak that they have to reinvent the US flag so politicians will remember them?
Maybe its just me, but when I think of patriots and flags, there is only one flag that comes to mind here in America, and that's the flag of the United States of America.
Accept no immitations.

David,
On this point I happen to agree 100%. Our flag is a sacred symbol of our republic. You are correct when you say that millions have fought and died to protect and defend the constitutional republic that our flag symbolizes. Millions of Americans from civil servants on up to the President take an oath to protect and defend the constitution which is the foundation of our republic. This includes our police, FBI, CIA, NSA, our secretaries of states, our electors, our representatives, senators, military officers, the Joint Chiefs, our Supreme Court justices. Sadly, they have all failed us with regard to Obama's eligibility requirements outlined in Article 2 Section 1 of the constitution. It is this constitution which the flag is a symbol. It is this symbol which is being trashed by our President as well as the Tea Party. Truth does not change with political affiliation...only ones faithfulness to it.
The Tea Party are true patriots, but regarding this flag, they have lost their
The tea party also has a new 'Pledge of Allegiance' to go with their new flag. It just like the current version except that they have eliminated the last line.
Even this old dog agrees they have lost a wingnut or two or five. What in hell would make them want to make a new flag. Oh! well I off to a Tea Party.
