Here Are Some Ways People Disrespect The Flag Daily Based On Flag Code

Ah yes, if we can label anyone a "terrorist" now we can dispose of any legality and do as we wish with them.

Ah look, here comes Clive now:

What do you suppose the right – or, for that matter, law enforcement officials and the general public – would say about that host and his network? What would you say? Well, say it to Sean Hannity instead. Hannity’s questions to Bundy and extremist Richard Mack seem designed to escalate the “Bundy Ranch” conflict, rather than ameliorate it. No wonder Bundy calls Hannity his “hero.”
Sean Hannity will have blood on his hands: Fox News promotes Cliven Bundy?s war - Salon.com

"The masses" sir are merely we the people. Concentrated corporate wealth and power fears us and as such must control the narrative, that's why they bought up the media once Clinton deregulated the FCC.

Fox News is not state media, and Salon is hardly an unbiased source itself.

And we the people are the ones most harmed by the terrorist thugs who claimed to be fighting for "the masses".

Ah, you are another one of those conspiracy theorists. Yawn. There is literally zero proof the government had anything to do with the MLK assassination.

They also kill far fewer citizens than your beloved "activists" did.

According to the power structure there is no "proof" that the power of the state gang murdered Fred Hampton or torched John Trudell's house either. As for King, I merely observed a point in time relating to his message at the of his murder.

And again you are left with, "yeah, but we killed less of them than they killed of us".

This is a very common argument for the "exceptionalism" of american society, it's political system and its economic system; "well yeah, but I can point to a ****ter example, so there!"

This is not exceptionalism.

That's flag code, and while it's a very good idea to observe it in respect of the flag, you can't really compare someone who loves the flag, but doesn't know the code, to someone who purposefully makes a public display of disrespecting the flag.

Apples and oranges.

You think these people were kneeling because they don't like the flag? :lamo

Or maybe you just don't understand the word "purpose." The purpose was to protest injustice.

Ah, yet more rhetoric circa 1969. I hate to break it to you buddy, but the people have overwhelmingly rejected your ideology.

You made a not so veiled hint to something completely untrue.

Considering that you consistently argue for the ****tier examples, you have zero room to talk on the matter.

They were kneeling because they're idiots. The National Anthem has nothing to do with their victim claims. They picked a poor way to protest and now they're seeing thousands of fans burn their memorabilia.

It's not really an ideology, and it is very timely in fact, as "the people" do worse and worse over time in american society, and as societal social mobility is even worse now that it was then, by design. We’ve all watched this trajectory for a half century now. I suspect we will continue to see economic conditions for the working and under classes to continue to disintegrate and for more of “the people” to wind up in for profit prisons; the jobs are not coming back and the political system answers only to the donor class. Stay tuned, it’s gonna get bumpy before it gets better because your political system is utterly disconnected from redressing the legitimate concerns of “the people”.

Nope, everyone knows what road your ideology leads down, and how much worse off the people are every time it's implemented. Which, of course, is why it will never come to this country.

But the terrorist thugs you worship have already poisoned the well a long time ago.

It was here, post WWII and for a pretty good while, until the 80's or so. Wild eyed radical **** wasn't it; an economic system that worked for society as a whole versus the few.

Not much apparently, they wanted their tantrums more.

Perhaps, but taking-a-knee is a tantrum in its own right.

I did hear that the guy who stood alone while the others refused to leave the locker room has outsold all the others in a 24 hour period. Not sure if, or how much, he makes anything on the sales, but if so, that's another reason not to act like a spoiled baby and disrespect the country that allows you to make that ungodly amount of money for doing nothing more than running around.

So the system your beloved "activists" wanted to destroy so badly was actually a pretty good system? Huh. That's amusing.

Here Are Some Ways People Disrespect The Flag Daily Based On Flag Code | HuffPost

President Donald Trump accused athletes on Friday of disrespecting the American flag by silently protesting, but taking a knee isn’t covered in the U.S. Flag Code’s respect section.

On June 14, 1923, or Flag Day, a federal code was put in place that would serve as a guideline for how to handle the American flag. There are several sections in the code about proper national anthem conduct, how to display the flag, and yes, even how to respect the flag.

The code does state that everyone should stand at attention facing the flag during the national anthem, but standing or kneeling isn’t actually covered in the respect portion of the code.

Here are some things that Americans do on a daily basis, however, that are disrespectful:



RTFA for everyday examples of disrespecting the flag....

To be honest I find the fools who don't remove their hats or stand there chewing away on gum or laughing and talking during the anthem to be far more disrespectful to the flag than the guys who take a knee.
