Am I missing something here? Is there some unspoken rule that says you can only have 2 flags in front of your office?
Now, I don't know any transgender folks, and I won't pretend that I can understand them, but as I get older I try to be less judgemental, even though there are more people and groups I don't agree with and can't understand. However, it would seem to me that you could simply add a smaller flag pole to the right of the POW flag, for any group you would like to acknowledge in your never ending, soulless quest to gain votes.
This particular group, really does not enrage me. I honestly feel sorry for them. It has to be a tough way to choose to go through life.
I can't help but think of a verse that my Father used to repeat often... "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do."
As for Lori Trahan, that parasite needs to remember that not all Veterans are Republicans, and that not all Democrats are supporters of the transgender community, and even those that are would not necessarily approve of choosing to remove the POW/MIA flag even temporarily.
What enrages me, as a Marine, is that these politicians show no moral character and would stuff a flag that honors those who made it possible for them live to the lives they do, in a closet someplace, in a lame attempt to be politically correct and garner votes.
The trans crowd seems to like to say " I exist " or "We exist" a lot. Well, your damn right you exist. We all do. For better or worse. But a lot of us would not, if brave men and women didn't serve in some god forsaken land, thousands of miles from home, some of them never returning. Even transgender people and those who support them should be offended that the POW/MIA flag was removed.
Sorry for the rant. Carry on.
