Is burning the American Flag in Public an appropriate form of protest. Here is what Maxine Waters has to say about that.
Big Al says, Ms. Waters did get voted in as a representative of our country. My real question is , ” do actions like this lead to a respect for the folks who condone this action? I would recommend changing the slogan from Land of the Free and home of the brave” to “Land of the ignorant and home of the beggar’s” What do you all think?
An American flag was reportedly stolen from a truck and lit on fire by a group of supporters of Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) on Thursday.
The incident occurred as a crowd gathered at Waters’ Los Angeles office expecting a protest by the Oath Keepers. The group didn’t show up, reportedly cancelling their protest.
The group that did show up in support of Waters can be seen on video from the Los Angeles Times chanting “black power” and other slogans.
According to SFGATE, a vehicle occupied by two men who appeared to be white, was stopped by the crowd. Some marchers opened the doors and one grabbed the flag flying on a pole in the bed of the truck, which sped off.
The flag was stepped on and lit on fire.
Waters has issued a press release saying, that the flag burning incident “overshadowed” the peaceful demonstrations of her supporters.
“While I do not agree with torching the flag as a form of protest, I understand the Constitution guarantees everyone the right to this form of free expression,” Waters says in the release.
Completely agree with you Mark!!
There ought to be a minimum IQ test, rather than a minimum age test for congress critters.
Just setting it at 100 might eliminate Ms. Waters.
CFS, good idea. I think our congressmen should have a minimum IQ of 110. I doubt that Maxine Waters could reach the 85 level. There are baboons with higher IQ’s than hers.
As has been pointed out here, democracy isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
Universal suffrage predictably leads to mob rule; the mob is controlled by propagandists.
One solution might be to only allow those to vote who score in the top 50% of a test for basic knowledge of the US political system, history, and recent events. I’d argue for the top 1/3, but buy-in becomes an issue.
It was once said that “The notion that leadership can be born of universal suffrage cannot be too strongly repudiated”
Good one
Hey, lets go to Iran and get back our 150 billion $$$ in cash that must be there somewhere–
I wonder why none of the regular right-wing birds on this page never take the time to correct a statement that is as blatantly wrong as yours. That’s because it perpetuates their bias and truth isn’t one of their goals.
FWIW the money you refer to never was ‘ours’. They were Iranian funds within our banking system that had been blocked by those in charge at the time. We decided to let them take ownership of their own funds again. An analogy would be your bank not giving you access to your savings account for several years and then later saying “you may withdraw your funds in you want to since we are the nice folks we claim to be”.
Yep. It sure gets old encountering such drivel time after time. Mr. Moriarty has corrected the point more than once here.
It cannot be put any more clearly:

The pensions of the liars should be stripped.
Netanyahu has announced that Israel is permitting the “White Helmets” to cross through Israel to Jordan where 422 of them will be re-located as “refugess” to the US, Canada or Germany. This essentially says two things:
1. The war in Syria is over and Assad /Russia/Iran won.
2. The US, Canada, Germany will be getting some potential terrorists.
However, Trump, Trudeau and Merkel have apparently agreed.
Why do they need to pass through Israel to get to Jordan?
She’s a nasty human person and a politician (that seems redundant). It’s interesting that she apparently forgot to mention the violent use of force and theft of private property perpetrated by her mindless minions.
