Northampton County Should Fix Its Flag
Outside the Northampton County Courthouse rotunda are three flagpoles that include the Stars and Stripes, Commonwealth and county flags. Since October, the red, white and blue has looked more like the black and blue. The other flags are fine, but a clip for the stars and bars needs to be extended so that the flag actually looks like a flag. I find it disgraceful that the county government has so little regard for our national symbol.
If Executive John Brown is too busy to pay the proper respect, I know someone who will do so.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Isn`t there a MIA flag also?
ReplyDeleteYes, below the American flag. That one is fine.
ReplyDeleteWhat a stretch to attack Brown. You are really over the top with your hate of this guy. Get a grip on your emotions.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a perfect opportunity for the Boy/Girl Scouts or a fraternal group to pitch in and address this matter.
ReplyDeleteFlags are improperly flown everywhere. And it's disgusting. It only takes a few minutes to understand and comply with the flag code. Northampton County is certainly not alone. But it needs to be addressed immediately this morning.
ReplyDeleteIt won't be.
ReplyDeleteWith this administration they all mostly seem like they are commies against the American flag and the American way of life creating a dictatorship of Northampton County! Brown and his possie do have traits that are similar to adminstrational skills of Kim yong un.
ReplyDeleteCall the American Legion in. They have the posse or federal punch needed to satisfy this injustice! Another John Brown fiasco.
ReplyDeleteDon't you mean stars and stripes Bernie? I think stars and bars refers to the Confederate flag.
ReplyDeletePoint taken.
ReplyDeleteStars and Bars is a flag of traitors.
ReplyDeleteAh, I'm sure you saw that the flags were fixed but you said they wouldn't be. They are always out there in all kinds of weather, on the windiest corner of property especially lately the wind has been horrendous. Why exactly are there, just to harass or to make a mess for the cleaning crew? Nothing better to do!!!
ReplyDeleteI have an extra US Flag. I'd be happy to donate it. Brand new.
ReplyDelete2:31, if the flag has been fixed, that's only bc of this blog. The admin has ignored complaints since October. The fact that it is an outdoor flag is no excuse for failing to display it properly.
ReplyDeleteNazareth's American flag in the circle needs replacing as well.....
ReplyDeleteYou need to get a life if that's all you have to worry about
ReplyDelete...says someone pasting anonymously at midnight.
ReplyDeleteI only posted this here because I know that Bernie gets results. I have tried several times at local meetings to no avail.
