Cultists insult Old Glory
I might have seen the most insulting event possible involving Old Glory.
It involved a room full of Donald Trump cultists who were staging a sort of indoor rally the other day to honor the disgraced, twice-impeached POTUS.
There they all stood and recited the Pledge of Allegiance to a flag that someone reportedly had carried during the 1/6 riot on Capitol Hill. Yep, they used that flag as a political prop. They all recited the pledge that declares they will be loyal to “one nation, under God.”
Well, they weren’t being loyal to this nation by using that particular flag, which is supposed to signify unity and loyalty to the principles that the flag represents. Those principles chiefly involve the Constitution, which imbues in its document the guarantee of liberty to protest the government “peaceably.” There was not a single thing “peaceable” about that riot.
These idiots disgusted me in the extreme.
