Vets stand guard over Christian flag in NC town

[DearAbby]

The Christian flag is everywhere in the small North Carolina city of King, except the place where supporters want it most: flying above a war memorial in a public park.

1. A flag? Really

6,000 people tie their undies in a knot over a flag? Insanity sweeps the nation, WTF is wrong w/ people?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

2. Fucking fanatics.

[oswaldactedalone]

3. WTF

is a "Christian Flag," and why would anyone have approved of it being placed there in the first place? Just more absolute nonsense from the religious wrong. Idiots.

11. This is a Christian flag

No one SHOULD have authorized it being there, but the Matthew 25.41 Christians demand seeing symbols of their faith everywhere that they go.

4. Christian flag? I didn't know we had a flag.

5. Are they confused about the Swedish flag?

[Generic Other]

6. Onward Christian soldiers crusading off to war

the flag of what nation? Heaven?

[Canuckistanian]

7. Jesus never flew any flags

In fact, flags to him were probably symbolic of the Imperialist Roman conquerors. It's what warlike people did.

9. like a flag used in the Medieval crusades?

Are they going to invade and occupy another middle eastern country while waving that flag?

10. Wow. The people buried there died protecting freedoms

Freedoms, such as choosing which religion to follow...or not follow. I'll wager there are others buried there besides "born-again Christians."

15. No one is taking their right to fly the flag

they just cant have the county or township sponsoring it, supporting it, via public funds and property. They are free to erect a pole and fly the flag.

For some perverse reason they want government sponsor/recognize their particular religion.

[Taverner]

12. Good thing they read their bible and know that verse about the Christian Flag

You know, it's in there somewhere....:P

14. "Christian Flag"

What country (or kingdom) is it supposed to represent? And can't they all just move there and leave the rest of us alone?

:shrug: :wtf:

16. What would happen if every organization had fits because

their choice of flag was flying over every statute or building in their city. I just think these people who CLAIM to be so Christian are just a bunch of hate filled religious radicals.

17. many in this country seem to yearn to be like iran...a theocracy

[ixion]

18. the xian flag is a thinly-veiled salute to the KKK

but hey, racism is the new chic. :eyes:

19. I'm sorry, I didn't serve 22 years in the USAF under some freaking Christian flag

I served under the USAF Flag and the Flag of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

These fuckers are pretty much traitors to the Constitution in my book.
