I wonder if the whole issue doesn't boil down to the fact the firefighters' union is the one that requested the flag be placed on the truck.
My disdain for unions make me wish it was just the firefighters themselves that put the flag on it.

Re: American flags ordered removed from fire trucks
We know we are in deep trouble when that which is good is considered bad and that which is bad considered good. Progressivism at it finest. Progressive dems seem to think they are the enlightened ones. In actuality, they are the ones that will bring our country's demise if allowed.striker55 wrote:I tired of the course we have taken. No American flag on fire trucks, no pledge of allegiance in school, don't say Merry Christmas, bathroom issue's. Country is coming apart, what's next?

Re: American flags ordered removed from fire trucks
As proven on here and in my daily lufe, every one has an opinion. Some of which are based on more sound reasoning and understanding than others.
I have also come to the conclusion too many people are just looking for opportunities to be offended.
The folks that feel entitled to be offended need to get over themselves. Being offended is just part of life.

Re: American flags ordered removed from fire trucks
I did not get personal. Nor, did I go off on a tangent. Is being a "progressive" offensive? I just call it like I see it.
Yeah, running up $20,000,000,000,000 in debt, "free" college, "free" healthcare for everyone, no flags on fire trucks, no public displays of patriotism are all definitely common sense. Get real.
Speaking of North Korea, Hillary looks the part in her North Korea pant suits that look like she borrowed them from Kim Jong-Il. It's the progressives that are driving us closer to being like North Korea.

Re: American flags ordered removed from fire trucks
What some consider brainwashing, others consider instilling values and principles.
Your progressive buddies have pretty much ruined the country through moral and fiscal irresponsibility. . It's just that many are in denial. The federal debt is just the tip of the iceberg. The attack on pride and patriotism is just one more step in the destruction.

Re: American flags ordered removed from fire trucks
If you don't want to say it, don't. Just like saying a prayer, if you don't want to pray, don't. Why try to convince others to conform to you? The fact we have the choice is one of the great things about our country and what makes me want to say the Pledge.dale blanker wrote:Apparently few countries have something like a pledge of alligiance and even fewer do it frequently like we do. I wonder why(?). I suspect others are just as proud of their homelands but don't feel the need to profess it so frequently. If we just said it yesterday, does it make sense to do it again today? Isn't once a year enough for the pledge???Jusme wrote:RicoTX wrote:Dont mean to hijack, but Im curious... when I was a kid we removed our hats during the national anthem but did not put our hand over our heart. I have since learned the etiquette was changed before then to suggest that motion, but we never did that in my area. Now some people are calling others out because they don't do it either. I don't care one way or another, I still don't do it because that's not how I learned it, but what are yalls thoughts and how did you learn it?
On a side note, I did not know the original salute to the flag during pledge until recently. PC even way back in the 1940s. Germany and Italy did it that way too... so we changed.
I'm the same,way, hand over the heart was for the Pledge of Allegiance, hat in hand, hands to our sides for the Anthem. I don't know when the etiquette changed, if it did, but I still follow that policy.
Why compare our country and traditions to others, especially third world countries that have little to be proud of?

Re: American flags ordered removed from fire trucks
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
Like it or not, too bad.
