Vets fly flags at Amherst: A study in contrasts
« on: November 28, 2016, 07:42:39 AM »
Remember...

These are the people who told us not to vote for Trump because a quote they pulled out of context made it sound as if Trump was calling vets weak.

These are the same people who told us not to vote for Trump because supposedly he wasn't patriotic enough, preferring foreign powers like Russia over the US.

In this thread we have just a simple reporting of the story...

Flag Wavers Protest Amherst College For NOT Flying The Flag.

 The new order of the day most likely will be everyone must fly the American Flag to show support for our new president. Now that flag wavers have decided that Amherst's decision is an affront to the flag and veterans. A dip shit veteran probably a Republican organized the protest. These "patriots?" are demanding the flag be flown and NOT at half mast. The college must show its loyalty.

The Flag Will Become A Symbol Of Racism, Hatred, & Misogyny Under Trump/GOP
   
The flag of the US will no longer be honored on the world stage after Trump becomes POTUS. He will embarrass us daily even hourly after inauguration. Already each new tweet he issues raised the level of fear and trepidation in the country and on the international scene.

He is even vowing to fight countries moving forward on climate warming. The Iran deal is likely to be scuttled. And there is a possibility that it could be bombed. As the anti immigrant phase kicks in we will become a pariah.

I am no longer around to be an American. And I could not stand for our anthem. Fortunately I do not go to events where it is played.. I don't go to sporting events.

Milo Yiannopoulos "It has been obvious since 2016 that Trump carries an anointing of some kind. My American friends, are you so blind to reason, and deaf to Heaven? Can he do all this, and cannot get a crown? This man is your King. Coronate him, and watch every devil shriek, and every demon howl."

"We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and then bid the geldings to be fruitful."

C.S. Lewis

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

John C Calhoun, "Disquisition on Government", 1840
