The Flag At The Jonesboro Republican HQ
July 29th, 2010Can you imagine what would happen if a Democratic Party HQ hung the American flag in a disrespectful way? Can you imagine the howls from the Republicans? Democrats would be labeled communists and traitors. Hell, they’ve called us that over less. But, as usual, the Republicans have no room to throw stones. Especially if their Jonesboro HQ is any indicator:
That’s right, the American Flag outside the Republican HQ is touching the ground in that photo.
Now, to be fair, I drove by the headquarters this afternoon before posting and the problem was fixed, with another, much shorter flag hanging where the old one had been. But seriously, can you imagine if the shoe had been on the other foot? Do you think for a second that if Democrats had a flag drooping on the ground and Republicans had taken a picture of it that they wouldn’t be beating their chests in outrage and spreading it to everyone in earshot?

To be fair to the Republicans and more in accordance with proper flag disposal, I believe we should have someone question what they did with the “Old Glory” that was allowed to touch the ground! Did they bury it, burn it, or simply throw it in the debris pile? Perhaps they sent it out for dry cleaning, yet, that would be illegal and a discredit to upholding those Constitutional Amendments as pertains to the flag? I smell an investigative report coming soon to a progressive blog near you!
