The disgrace of the American Flag

I’m confused here, I thought all Americans respected the flag and what it stands for, but maybe I’m mistaken. Every few years we get, as a nation challenges to the flag, but they have never been from a particular group except maybe the ACLU.
This year seems to be far different, as we have been challenged from far different groups. Let’s look at the first group of people. Father Flagler, you remember this far left wing nut, which closely resembled Rev. Wright in his left leanings. Father Flagler has seen fit to fly the flag upside down, and rather to show sign of disrespect, he claims it as a sign of “distress of the nation. “ This is nothing more than his scapegoat of the true sense of his contempt of the government.
This mirrors the latest contempt of a firefighter in a suburb if Philadelphia. A black firefighter in the firehouse of a Chester PA firefighting team, exhibited an upside down flag on his hat to reportedly proclaim a distress signal in this country, so his boss Chester Fire Commissioner James Johnson, who in fact is another black firefighter, decided to enact a farther reaching mandate, to assure farther complications. He said that any displays from members on their lockers would be banned. One remaining display from firefighter James Krapf was left up and as a result he was suspended without pay Thursday and Friday after he refused to remove the flag decal from his locker that had been there for years. His display was reportedly, about his support of the firefighters in NY of the terrorist attack of 9/11, and now has been banned because of the Fire commissioner’s decision in Chester PA. Everywhere else in the firehouse there are American Flags displayed, but suddenly now because of the disrespectful act of one person on a hat, nobody is allowed to show THEIR respect.
In an Oregon Apartment complex, an overzealous rental agent saw fit to ban any and all displays of American Patriotism, in the way of an American flag because she assumed it was an opinion from “legal consul” that such displays were against the law as it may “offend someone.”
I have news for this pinhead, America is the nation we live in, there are FAR more proud Americans than there are “ashamed” Americans, so if the far left sees it appropriate to denigrate the flag and to bash the right for their support, maybe THEY are the ones who need to leave this country, and BTW, we see flying the flag upside down as disrespect rather than seeing it as a sign of distress!
