Torchlight: USA: Memorial Day Plagued By Flag Burning Vandalism Across The Nation

This report comes to us from FOXNEWS;

From Oregon to Minnesota to Ohio, vandals trampled on Old Glory over the Memorial Day weekend. In one Ohio town alone, approximately 25 American flags were found set ablaze on Monday.

At least one national veterans group called for those responsible for the "shocking and reprehensible" acts of vandalism to be quickly arrested and prosecuted.

Police in Wooster, Ohio, were going door-to-door early Tuesday in search of the people who torched roughly 25 flags and flagpoles along Saunders Drive and Morgan Street, Capt. John Quicci said.

"They were set on fire," Quicci told FoxNews.com, adding that an investigation is ongoing.

No suspects or motives had been identified, according to Quicci, who was unable to estimate damages to the 3-by-5-foot flags and the 10-foot metal poles placed outside of residents' homes by the annual Wooster Rotary Parade of Flags project.

To not apprehend suspects is understandable; especially since it is not in the interest of the government to pursue something so trivial as the vandalism of the flag. Everybody knows that the flag is nothing more than the manifestation of arrogance and racism anyway. But to go so far as to claim that the motive is unknown is just absurd; I mean according to the media, the whole nation is behind Komrade Hussein and the Democrat party. Everyone is well enough aware of the fact that America is a guilty, murderous, unfair, and exploitive regime which deserves to be cut down to size. What purpose does it serve to deny that the motive behind the flag burning was simple and total loyalty to hope and change? Personally I find it surprising that community organizers everywhere aren't looking to award these new and progressive "Americans" for their bravery and dedication to the "change we can all believe in".

Nobody consulted us in the sale of our lands and the destruction of our culture. As our leaders have betrayed and failed us, the time for conscientious observation has passed. The battle has already spilled into the streets and we now stand on the brink. If you be for Europe, western Judeo-Christian values, and the survival of your culture, then stand and be heard!

Quotes

THOMAS JEFFERSON
To take from one, because it is thought that his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare others, who, or whose fathers have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, 'the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry, and the fruits acquired by it.
WINSTON CHURCHILL
Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy.
ALEXIS DE TOCQUEVILLE
Democracy extends the sphere of individual freedom; socialism restricts it. Democracy attaches all possible value to each man; socialism makes each man a mere agent, a mere number. Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word: equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.
RONALDUS MAGNUS
How do you tell a Communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an Anti-communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.
AYN RAND
Socialism is the doctrine that man has no right to exist for his own sake, that his life and his work do not belong to him, but belong to society, that the only justification of his existence is his service to society, and that society may dispose of him in any way it pleases for the sake of whatever it deems to be its own tribal, collective good.
KARL VON CLAUSEWITZ
"Given the same amount of intelligence, timidity will do a thousand times more damage than audacity."

It is sad, really, that truth, goodness, righteousness (and all that is pure) is veiled in sarcasm (anger in a clown suit.) Arrests ought to be made for vandalism itself, destruction of private property. We still live under law, no matter who ignores it.

Good thing these were not Mexican or rainbow flags, or we would have a hate crime on our hands. Thank God they were only American flags, so it's just a prank involving some private property vandalism. Pwhew!
