Tornado Alley (PROG)

[fuagf]

In his brief career as president and a candidate for president, Mr. Trump has attacked virtually every major institution in American life: Congress, the courts, Democrats, Republicans, the news media, the Justice Department, Hollywood, the military, NATO, the intelligence agencies, the cast of “Hamilton,” the cast of “Saturday Night Live,” the pope and now professional sports. He has attacked the Trump administration itself, or at least selected parts of it (see Sessions, Jeff), and even the United States of America (“you think our country’s so innocent? .. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/04/us/politics/putin-trump-bill-oreilly.html ”).

"There, in West Virginia State Board of Education v.?Barnette, Justice Robert Jackson wrote for a 6-to-3 majority that the state could not compel children to salute the flag. Reversing a court decision from just three years earlier, Jackson wrote, in the midst of war, what remains one of the enduring statements of confidence in what truly makes America great. “To believe that patriotism will not flourish if patriotic ceremonies are voluntary and spontaneous, instead of a compulsory routine,” he wrote, “is to make an unflattering estimate of the appeal of our institutions to free minds.”"

If he could Justice Robert Jackson would be screaming from his after-life.

In his scurrilous attacks on Americans, American institutions and American ideals Trump's disrespect for the flag echoes throughout the world today.

"THIS IS WHAT THE FLAG STANDS FOR, MR. PRESIDENT"
