Fairfax, Va. – In recognition of Flag Day in the United States, Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning issued the following statement:
“Flag Day is more important today than ever before in history. We have a concerted attack by the left on America as symbolized by recent challenges on what our flag stands for by those who revel in the protection of people who burn it in the streets while viewing those who fly it proudly as a national problem. After Memorial Day, Mara Gay, a New York Times Editorial Board member complained on MSNBC about the amount of flags she witnessed on Long Island stating, ‘…I was really disturbed. I saw, you know, dozens and dozens of pickup trucks with expletives against Joe Biden on the back of them, Trump flags, and in some cases just dozens of American flags, which is also just disturbing … Essentially the message was clear. This is my country. This is not your country. I own this.’
“Americans for Limited Government strongly encourages every American to fly their American flag today and every day as a reminder to their neighbors that they are not alone in their feeling of pride in the United States of America, and also as a reminder to those who are disturbed by flying the flag that they are a small, narrow minority of elitists who hate American freedoms and the God-given individual liberties that have made our nation unique and a beacon of freedom for the rest of the world.
“Fly your flag and piss off a liberal.”
