Pete Buttigieg calls the Appeal to Heaven flag insurrectionist symbology

[Dragonlady]

Comparing the two is intellectually dishonest, a lie, and foolish. Congratulations.

You didn't answer the question. Comparing the two is PRECISELY correct. The Appeal to Heaven flag was the symbol of George Washington's Revolutionary Army.

However the right wing extremists may try to pretend their "movement" isn't the antithesis of everything the Founders stood for or envisioned for the nation, it is the attempted takeover of the nation by right wing religious extremists, of which 6 of your Supreme Court Justices have been put on the Court to help achieve.

American Theocracy Is Bad for Everyone–Including White Christian Nationalists

As we marked the 246th anniversary of our country’s independence from a despotic regime that fused church and state power, the staff of the USC Center for Religion and Civic Culture gathered …

Turning Point USA seeks a theocracy straight out of your worst nightmares

We must reiterate, as often as is necessary, that we do not live in a theocracy – no matter how much Christian Nationalists preach otherwise.

Thanks for setting me straight. I always thought that it was an appeal to air fresheners flag.

Got my new flag last week. Unlike the pride flag that a small minority of divisive perverts like, my flag represents freedom to all Americans.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Wednesday warned that the Supreme Court traditionally has "no supervision" and suggested that Justice Samuel Alito and his wife, Martha-Ann Alito, were associated with "insurrectionist symbology."
Buttigieg was reacting to comments the justice and his wife made during a secret recording taken by liberal filmmaker Lauren Windsor at a recent annual dinner event.

"Supreme Court justices have an unbelievable amount of power," Buttigieg told CNN anchor John Berman on Wednesday. "And by the nature and the structure of the Supreme Court, there is no supervision over that power. They are entrusted with it literally for as long as they live."

In the secret recording, Martha-Ann Alito told Windsor she wanted to fly a "Sacred Heart of Jesus flag," a Catholic symbol depicting Jesus Christ and symbolizing compassion, in response to a Pride flag that was in view near one of her properties.

"And he's like, 'Oh, please don't put up a flag,'" she said, apparently recounting a conversation with her husband. "I said, 'I won't do it, because I'm deferring to you. But when you are free of this nonsense, I'm putting it up and I'm going to send them a message every day, maybe every week I'll be changing the flags.'"

Buttigieg said that trust in the Supreme Court is in part based on the justices making "enormously consequential decisions that shape our everyday lives with a sense of fairness."

"I also hope that most Americans can understand the difference between a flag that symbolizes love and acceptance and signals to people who have sometimes feared for their safety that they're going to be okay and insurrectionist symbology," he said, in a jab at the Alitos for another flag controversy.

Mayor Pete is a stupid little cocksucker.

And that term doesn’t offend him.

What's the offensive part? The word "appeal" or the word "heaven" or the pine tree? The flag is part of history. How long has the gay pride flag been around?

It flew over San Francisco City Hall for years.

You're an historically illiterate dupe. An easy mark. The perfect DemoKKKrat.

San Francisco takes down controversial 'Appeal to Heaven' flag from in front of city hall

The "Appeal to Heaven" flag has in recent years come to symbolize sympathies with the Christian nationalist movement and the false claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Trump.
