Moonbats Burn Marine's Flags

Our progressive friends have gotten off to an early start celebrating the Fourth of July. In normally civilized Far North Dallas:

When Ed Jordan hung two flags from his front porch, one for his country and one for the Marine Corps he once served in, he thought no one would take issue with his gesture to honor the troops during the Fourth of July.
He returned home from an errand Monday morning to find the flags burned, their cinders scattered amid his azaleas.
The 70-year-old veteran was shocked when police told him that a flag at another house in his quiet neighborhood just north of Valley View Mall was also incinerated. …
"When I was on active duty, the flag always meant something to me," he said. "I'd always take pride when I saw it flying in civilian areas."
How others could take offense at the same sight was beyond his understanding.
"When you damage something that so many have died for, the symbol it represents, that, to me, is intolerable," he said.

The word "intolerable" also describes the prevalence of the ideology that inspires these incidents.

You would think that putting a socialist punk in the White House – the ultimate desecration of everything patriots hold sacred — would leave moonbats satisfied. But a cancer isn't satisfied until the patient dies – unless a way is found to cure it.

Moonbatty leftists are a pestilence on this nation. They're like locusts. Swarming from field to field destroying everything in sight for no good reason at all except for their own satisfaction.

It'll be up to us conservatives to take America back. If we don't come back in 2010 and 2012 and get the adults back in charge, then I'm afraid America will become a weird combination of San Fransicko and Zimbabwe all rolled up into one.

This happened in TEXAS? I consider Texas to be one of my last bastions. I hope they catch these creeps. In Texas.

Classical moonbat hypocrisy. If they hate America to the extent that they feel the need to destroy the universal symbol of freedom in the world, why the frig do they still live here?

I hear North Korea is looking for obedient little drones to replace its dwindling population...

I have my flag proudly flying atop a pole in my front garden. I also have a M2 flamethrower as part of my militaria collection. I invite the sons of bitches to come and try their luck...

Since the courts have said that burning a flag is protected fre spech should we be able to go to the home of one of these moonbat punk pigs and burn the rainbow or pink gay flags or maybe one with CHE on it or that green and white eco-freak flags with that divided circle or the communists flags as well

Good idea, Spurwing. I've always wondered what it'd be like to burn a rainbow flag and to have some leftists goons frown on that. "What? This is what you libs do to our nation's flag. Isn't this "free speech"? But of course they'll be more apt to throw ya into the gulag for that.

There is a comment from the other neighbor too.

"Disappointed" was also the word Jordan's neighbor, Celeste Mele, used to describe her feelings after discovering her own flag had been burned, though she had a few others she said weren't printable.

"The question is, was it a prank or some anti-American statement?" she said. "I guess in this day and age, it could be either one."

Also some very good comments there, including one from his daughter. My favorite - Get a rope....

Check your own state's laws, but around here, you can use deadly force against somebody trying to set fire to your residence or an occupied building.

In other words, don't burn moonbat flags, but don't spare the lead if you catch a moonbat trying to burn your flags. It may not deter moonbats, but if you pay careful attention to sight picture and trigger control, that particular moonbat won't be setting fire to anything ever again.

Karin: you might think about who we share a border with, and how they tend to vote.

FWIW, I live in Dallas and can say this is the mall where smart people used to go to but not anymore. Get my point? No shock as the majority of the people in that area are predisposed victims or illegal to begin with.

Posted by: Kek at July 2, 2009 8:55 AM

Good point MikeO, and make sure you drag the moonbat flag burner's corpse over your doorstep before calling the authorities so they are found inside your home. That is what most police will remind you to do.

Just despicable that we're losing an entire generation that died to protect the freedoms this flag represents, and have to share this land with some near-do-well pathetic weenies who burn American flags when no one is looking.

I am so sorry that someone would think so little of others sacrafice as to burn the flag that stood for what they believed. I hope that they understand that they also burned the symbol of what GAVE them the right to free speach. To many Americans don't understand the sacrafice that was made so that they could tell everyone that they don't believe in certain things. It really brings a tear to my eye to think that these people want all of the freedoms that are afforded to them due to our service men and women giving a great sacrafice.

Where in the story does it say that some liberals did this? Could it possibly be the work of bored teenage punks? Nah! Couldn't be! It's gotta be them American hating libs!

You people are very paranoid!

Posted by: RedstateLiberal at July 2, 2009 12:56 PM

Seriously? You're going to blame this on Obama too??? You are a joke, and the rest of us are laughing at you. Oh... and we also threw your dumbass politicians out on their asses. Good luck, assholes.

Posted by: Realist at July 2, 2009 12:58 PM

NOTHING brings out of the pure hatred in me than the idea of someone burning MY FLAG! The flag that was raised on Iwo Jima, the flag that won the battle of Fallujah, the flag which my friends have made the ultimate sacrifice for. I hope some Marines find them first, because it would be worse than burning in Hell. God help them if I find them.

Posted by: Rattlehead213 at July 2, 2009 12:59 PM

Actually, we are sure that it was burned by the local AL Post Commander, we are just blaming everyone else.

It may have been a teenaged punk.
A teenaged punk that was raised in a liberal household, taught to hate it.
A teenaged punk schooled in the NEA way, taught to hate it.
A teenaged punk that has never been taught about any absolute right and wrong (except that conservatives are absolutely wrong...oh yes, and always stupid/moronic to boot, by the lib media.

I don't know of very few children, raised in conservative (not necessarily Republican) homes that would do something like this. However, I have run across plenty of them from lib homes that would easily do it.

There you go RedStateAssmunch

Edit above, should read 'I know of very few...'

Posted by: Viking04 at July 2, 2009 1:14 PM

Realist and Red star...this sounds like some dumb fuck liberal Obama supporting did this. If you think it was some punk ass kids that did this well they were probably raised by welfare collecting liberal ass holes such as yourself.

Go play with your hammer and sickle you half wit Obomites.

Posted by: Dave at July 2, 2009 5:57 PM

This is why I loath fuck head liberals!

Posted by: Dave at July 2, 2009 6:07 PM

We had one case here in Florida of flags being burned on GRAVES around Memorial Day.

Sure, Liberals. It COULD have been "some punk kids", but as pointed out above, WHO taught them to disrespect others? I hope that one day you come home to find that some jerks full of "self-esteam" have taken over your house because you "have more" than they do. It's happened before; arrainged and encouraged by Hopey McChange's old gang, "ACORN". Plus, it was excused by your fellow moonbats because "the houses were empty". But people still OWNED them, not that Hopey cared.

PROPERTY RIGHTS are the basis for all other rights. Do you know the major reason why the "Sufferagettes" wanted the national vote? It was because they could own property, but they couldn't vote for or against the TAXES levied on those properties.

Read about some stupid moonbat who was going around on her roller blades with a pair of scizziors and snipping peoples yellow ribbons SHE WAS STUPID TO GO AROUND ON ROLLER BLADES WITH A SHARP INSTERMENT TYPICAL OF MOONBAT STUPIDHEADS

It turns out this act was perpetrated by another RIGHT WING EXTREMIST who was a fan of Michele Malkin and who did this as an agent provocateur.

I understand the joy you right wingers feel in just making claims. Although everyone knows my claim is actually the truth.

There is no depth the Toxic Right will not stoop to to steal or physically take the power of the government back so they can continue to kill people and steal trillions
