[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It worries me.  Over the decades I lived that life, I saw a change. The older people were more professional and apolitical and were from all different parts of the country.  The younger people were more political and religious, and came mostly from the south.

For example, I remember a new commander asking a very senior leader how he can share “his faith” with his troops if they came to him for help because his faith was “important to him.”  The very senior leader basically said it’s ok for your faith to be important to you, but it doesn’t belong in the office because you run the risk of alienating people who have a different faith.  Faith guy seemed offended (as they frequently and easily are) but I was thrilled that the senior leader was so reasonable and matter of fact.

Once saw a new Lt Col hang a Gadsden Flag on his base house.  Ridiculous.  It didn’t last long, I suspect the professional and apolitical highest ranking officer on base told him to take it down.

By the end of our time there, I learned that the new highest ranking person on base was an evangelical trumper and sharing this with the local business leaders . Huge foul. Wildly unprofessional. Won the hearts of the local community that was evangelical trump country, but outrageously unprofessional.

And that was just his first term. It’s gotten so much worse.

Why would the colonel take down a Gadsden flag? It is a historically proper flag flown proudly throughout the US representing pushback to British tyranny.
 
So glad this era of liberal censorship has ended.  May Biden’s silencing never again occur.[/quote]

Biden silencing you are a complete idiot

Trumps state media is silencing the first amendment . What do you not understand about your freedoms being stripped away?.

Biden never did that you moron.

Alito is SCOTUS he actually took an oath to the US hand on bible that flag stunt was not freedom of speech fir a SCOTUS 
In January 2021, the upside down American flag had become a banner for Donald Trump’s effort to block the peaceful transfer of power. Armed insurrectionists carried it into the U.S. Capitol on January 6. Eleven days later, even as National Guard troops still guarded the Capitol and the Supreme Court building itself, Justice Samuel Alito flew the insurrectionists’ flag outside his Virginia home.

This was far more than an act of indiscreet partisanship

No, this was not a gaffe. It was a senior government official hoisting the banner of a violent insurrectionist movement devoted to overturning a core constitutional principle. At the time, there were numerous cases before the Court in which the justices swatted away Trump’s false claims of a stolen election.

A breach of this magnitude — in a cases that implicated the health of our democratic institutions, by a justice that hasn’t shown a single shred of contrition — is a fit topic for robust political intervention. Term limits

The traitor  Alito did not recuse himself that’s sick and wrong you UnAmerican idiot.
