Texas Drifter: America’s Flag More Than Special
Marshall’s Law Dateline – Flags represent specific messages. How many militaries or navies throughout all human history, have gone into mortal combat without a single flag?
Vexillology is scientific study of flags. “Flags” have been around for estimated 4000 years, pieces of cloth were first added to flags estimated 2000 years ago. Vexillology is derived from Latin” vexillum” referring to fabric hung from horizontal cross bar on a pole.
Flags display emblems, symbols, or standards to convey or send specific messages. Some examples, how does one believe Mexico’s butcher President- General Santa Anna reacted when he might have seen “Come and Take It” flag displaying a cannon above crumbling adobe walls of an old church? Needless to say Mexico’s butcher President-General Santa Anna swore death to all defenders of the Alamo.
Inspiration for the flag was first “real” day of Texas war for Independence: “I cannot, nor do I desire to deliver up the cannon...We are weak and few in number, nevertheless we are contending for what we believe to be just principles.” — Joseph Clements, a Gonzales town official, September 30, 1835
Another example, how does Reader believe America’s troops and Navy members felt when they saw Old Glory being raised during Battle of Iwo Jima? Reader can list untold numbers or times when Americans were proud and honored to see Old Glory.
Started this writing exercise with these examples to remind Americans that some celebrities like G. Beck, and their cult groupies plus others Reader can list; seemingly have lackadaisical and spiritless attitudes towards America’s more than special flag.
Several points, perhaps these seemingly personal vanity before patriotism people need to remember:
1. They are beneficiaries of others' sacrifices, and are only free; to act like ungracious fools because patriots fought, suffered, and died for Old Glory. “Just a flag", according to pretender patriots by their own words; perhaps someone needs to wish a magician's pox on their lethargic attitudes towards Old Glory?
2. Perhaps these, again by their own words personal vanity before patriotism detractors of Old Glory; might want to review lyrics of “America’s National Anthem” and “Pledge of Allegiance”. Why, to reconsider Old Glory’s symbolic value to United States of America.
3. Perhaps Reader might help Texas Drifter remember last time Reader witnessed a G. Beck poster draped over casket of one of America’s best and most courageous?
Some flags allied to Marxist-fascist haters of all things American because world owes them a living include:
1. Islamic State Flag
2. Anarchist Flag (Type 1)
3. Anarcho-Feminist Flag (Type 1)
4. al-Qaeda Flag
5. Eco-Anarchist Flag (Type 1)
6. Black Panther Flag (saluted by raised black fist)
7. Reader can follow up on almost limitless hate all things American flags
Point of above observation is Republican and conservative “enablers by tolerating” recent trashing of Southern Flag which symbolizes more than “battle flag”; did not raise one single word against any terrorists wanting to murder Americans that serve above flags.
One conservative radio celebrity who uses personal pronouns more than Obama, referred to Confederate flag as “just an object”. Seems that this Yankee Republican conservative now carpetbagger, has no respect for Southerners' traditions, values, principles and or history.
Perhaps this always right, while others are always wrong carpetbagger thinks America’s First Civil War was fought to free Blacks from slavery. Why, so Yankee Republican carpetbaggers, could put descendants of ninety-five percent of Southern White ancestors that never owned slaves, into slavery? Just asking, not accusing. TRUE or FALSE
Flags are first target, in war to destroy America’s traditions, values, principles, and history by attacking America’s symbols. By who, world owes us hate all things American groups like illegal immigrants and other groups reader can list, or find by referencing many citations in Texas Drifter writing exercises.
First symbols to be attacked included Southerners’ flag; also under attack are marriage vows like wedding rings "for a man and woman". Judeo-Christians’ holiday decorations are just about decimated; to followed by banning Christianity’s Cross - which will probably someday based on “no separation of government and religion” be illegal to display on public property or in public places.
Question, does Mussolini Republicans AND or conservative “Tea Party” conservatives tolerating P.C. Nazism make all these “conservative” people accessories to crimes committed against innocent law abiding constitution respecting patriotic citizens? YES / NO / MAYBE/ NOT SURE / WHO CARES
Clue - If above question deserves specific answer to: If what America’s Old Glory used to stand for, and still should stand for; are being systematically “transformed” into what some conservative media celebrity cult leaders already believe Old Glory stands for. Why Are Judeo-Christian conservative patriots, allowing Old Glory’s symbolism to be transformed by: Obama, Obama’s allies, other haters of all things American, Mussolini Republicans, and other evils among us in U.S. that Reader would like to list.
One very brief thought on how to “wind down” this writing exercise, was to suggest that G. Beck, and other media cult leaders and their groupies; listen to Lee Greenwood lyrics to “God Bless The U.S.A.” (Excerpt)
If tomorrow all the things were gone,
I'd worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
with just my children and my wife.
I'd thank my lucky stars,
to be livin here today.
‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they can't take that away.
Before finishing reading Lee Greenwood’s lyrics; Texas Drifter thought, America does not need more babysitters for adults who have forgotten, that America’s flag is more than special. TRUE or FALSE
Clue - America’s Old Glory needs citizens that will voluntarily do what is right. America’s Old Glory does not need citizens paying for vanity speak to hear false prophets’ interpretations of right and wrong!
Bonus question: usflag.org reports - This famous name was coined by Captain William Driver, a shipmaster of Salem, Massachusetts, in 1831. As he was leaving on one of his many voyages aboard the brig CHARLES DOGGETT - and this one would climax with the rescue of the mutineers of the BOUNTY - some friends presented him with a beautiful flag of twenty four stars. As the banner opened to the ocean breeze for the first time, he exclaimed "Old Glory!" TRUE or FALSE
