We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.
Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.
This whole thing stinks of culture war boogie man bait..
There is no legit source for this story, aside from some conservative blogger(?) and a random Facebook post.
Nobody is going to say literally that they feel triggered. That's an inflammatory term used to insult anybody on the opposite side of an argument...
Lame.
I'm a patriot. These are nationalists. They are not the same thing.
I’d bet $1000 that this is being misrepresented.
No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.

(d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker’s desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.
[...]
(j) No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.
Assuming this article is even true, which is dubious, it's a complete nothingburger, lol
It's just more pathetic culture war bullshit because conservatives keep racking up Ls and have little to show the American people. It's so much easier to screech about "wokes and immigrants are destroying this nation" than to actually attempt to fix the problems that matter, like climate change, the economy, and our aging infrastructure (of course, this is also due to he Republicans being bought and paid for by business interests that want to undermine fixing these issues).
Any time I see some nutjob republican make some big sweeping "anti-woke" legislation, I stop and ask myself: "How does this help the average American in ways that actually matter to them?" Usually, the answer is,"it doesn't."
Oh great, now we have both left-wing and right-wing versions of You Won't Believe What Those People Did This Week. Is this a progress?
