Chuck Norris: Stop Using The Modern American Flag -- Or Use Tea-Stained Ones

[meegbear]

In a column for Townhall.com, action star and conservative activist Chuck Norris calls on tea partiers to stop using the modern American flag as a means of protest against the current administration. And if you insist on using the 50-star flag, well, you can buy a tea-stained one for just $73.50 to show "solidarity with our Founders."

Praising the tea party movement across the nation that culminated in the 9/12 march on Washington, D.C., Norris insists that it's "nonpartisan" and "nonpolitical." Quoting George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, and John Adams, the martial arts star also blasts the Obama administration (in a nonpartisan, nonpolitical fashion) for pledging "$900 million in U.S. taxpayer-funded aid to Hamas-controlled Gaza and Mahmoud Abbas' Palestinian Authority." That aid is going through nongovernmental organizations to help rebuild Gaza, not Hamas.

Read the column after the jump.

Excerpt from the column:

As 9/12 concluded, we all heard many ways to keep this revolutionary movement going. But I was sitting back thinking there's one way we can take a daily stand and declare that as for me and my house, we will serve God and the republic as the Founders did.

If that describes you, then I suggest you fly some revolutionary flag in lieu of your 50-star flag over the next year. Post the 13-star Betsy Ross flag, Navy Jack or Gadsden flag ("Don't Tread on Me") or any representation that tells the story of Old Glory and makes a stand for our Founders' vision of America.

Of course, patriots know that the 50-star flag truly represents one nation under God and our Founders' republic, but modernists simply don't get it. So what do you say we make a statement by flying a different flag and educate our neighbors when they ask us, "Why are you flying that flag instead of the contemporary Stars and Stripes?" (If you insist on posting a modern USA flag, too, then get one that is tea-stained to show your solidarity with our Founders.)

Know a few other patriots? Then please pass along this vintage-flag-posting encouragement to them, as well, and make our Founders proud. And let's remind the U.S. government, "Don't tread on me!"

1. They love their symbols don't they? So easy to drape yourself in as you shut off your mind and

scream at people. I don't give a shit what Chuck Norris says.

[peekaloo]

2. Maybe if he wore pants that weren't so tight it would increase

the blood circulation to his brain. :shrug:

[NoPasaran]

3. If the wingnuts want to stop abusing MY flag, that's fine with me

They're also welcome to scrape all the flag decals off their vehicles as well.

4. Haha; Dirty Flag-Hating Conservatives!

5. Tea-staining the flag? Isn't that desecration of the flag.

I think Chuckie's been kicked in the head too many times.

6. So they've defaced flags so they can sell them for $73.50.

I've got to admit it's brilliant. P.T. Barnum would be so proud.

9. Barnum's statement about candy, birth and time stays true.

7. They should use the Rebel flag. It pretty much describes all they stand for.

:puke: After all, they are (subliminally or not) calling for another Civil War, presumably because there's a "darkie" in the White House ...

8. Buy a ruined flag for $75?

It'll sell like hotcakes.

10. Hey Chuck...stop using our flag to wipe your ass!

11. New Official Tea Bagger Flag:

Goldman Sach's CEO squatting and dangling his yamsack over the open mouthed and eager Mr. Norris.

16. This One Also Works Nicely...

12. Wrapped Warmonger

13. Thanks for quoting Chuck Norris. I was afraid we'd have a shortage of stupid here today.

[blm]

14. Dumbasses! The Gadsden meant the US would be a nation that would NOT attack first, but, would

attack BACK.

Norris and his dumbass pals are too stupid to know what the Gadsden flag represents as they try to co-opt it for their delusions.

Dumbasses don't realize that they supported Bush doctrine of attacking other countries first even if there was no proof of threat. Exactly what Gadsden flag was AGAINST.

[Armstead]

15. Ooops...he must've forgotten to take his medication again

[blogslut]

17. What? No Botox Flag?

I'm disappointed, Chuck. I want a flag that reminds me of you!
