Flag Abuse

Speaking of the flag, here's an abuse of the American flag, plain and simple.
flag abuse

People, I try to keep politics at a minimum here on Melmoirs. I do. But honestly, at this point, I'd have to find out something unspeakable about Mitt Romney or Paul Ryan to make me vote for anyone else.

I urge all of us to open our eyes. Understand the bloated and unfounded ego, the unhealthy agenda. Please try to grasp the threat to America that is clearly evident in one man's utter disrespect for what made this country great.

I will share what a FB friend shared on his post expressing outrage for the flag abuse...

United States Code Title 4, Ch 1.3 states:

Any person who, within the District of Columbia, in any manner, for exhibition or display, shall place or cause to be placed any word, figure, mark, picture, design, drawing, or any advertisement of any nature upon any flag, standard, colors, or ensign of the United States of America; or shall expose or cause to be exposed to public view any such flag, standard, colors, or ensign upon which shall have been printed, painted, or otherwise placed, or to which shall be attached, appended, affixed, or annexed any word, figure, mark, picture, design, or drawing, or any advertisement of any nature; or who, within the District of Columbia, shall manufacture, sell, expose for sale, or to public view, or give away or have in possession for sale, or to be given away or for use for any purpose, any article or substance being an article of merchandise, or a receptacle for merchandise or article or thing for carrying or transporting merchandise, upon which shall have been printed, painted, attached, or otherwise placed a representation of any such flag, standard, colors, or ensign, to advertise, call attention to, decorate, mark, or distinguish the article or substance on which so placed shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $100 or by imprisonment for not more than thirty days, or both, in the discretion of the court.

As if that will happen (fine or imprisonment). The man mocks us to our faces and no one lifts a finger. Heck, if you read the article that goes with my link, the idiots have the audacity to sell mugs with his stupid, still-questionable birth certificate printed on them. Classy. He bows to Saudi kings, makes fun of our flag, apologizes globally for our victories and triumphs, borrows money that we tell him we don't want him to use, passes healthcare legislation that the majority of us oppose... and every time he runs into static, he issues a new executive order. Constitution? WHAT constitution? And America falls to its knees while he smiles that slippery Chicago grin. People, 4 more years of this guy, unrestricted with no worries about re-election? Only gonna get worse.
