General John Glover is spinning in his grave, which is about 4 blocks from where I live. He was the Revolutionary War hero whose Marines rowed Washington across the Delaware.
In the Selectmens office of our town hall hangs the original of the iconic painting "Spirit of '76".
And this is the kind of garbage we have living in our town these days:
Marblehead gym members say giant American flag is offensive

The owner of Gravity Fitness in Marblehead says gym members have complained about the American flag hanging inside the gym.
The Fitness club's owner, 23 year-old Mark Shea, hung the 12 foot long flag from the gym rafters on Friday and had over a dozen complaints by Monday.
Some have complained that the flag blocks gym televisions, while some members have gone as far as to say that the flag is offensive.
One members was quoted to say "It's like putting a Jesus cross in my face."
NO IT IS NOT, YOU STUPID LIBTARD. IT IS THE FLAG OF YOUR COUNTRY, NOT A SYMBOL OF A RELIGION WHICH YOU, AS I, DO NOT FOLLOW. YOU LIVE HERE, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT. SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP.
Another member feels the exact opposite and said "This is America. If you don't like to see the flag you can move somewhere else."
Shea did move the flag so it would not block the TVs but said now the flag is going to stay right where it is. He also said if the complaining members decide to leave the gym he will just have to live with that.
I learned about this from a radio talk show who said that Mr. Shea lost a son in Iraq or Afghanistan. I will find out more about this tomorrow.
Hell will be raised. All suggestions as to how will be gratefully received. Meanwhile I will be finding out where to get a whole lotta flags cheap.

Give the MSM its due credit. A nation brimming with immature, self important citizens-in-name-only with nothing better to do than whine and bitch about the most trivial of matters.
Bone ingnorant. Jihad ignorant.
Mr. Shea is only 23 years old and lost a son in Iraq? Wow... kids are starting really early these days.
