The New York Times published an opinion essay on Tuesday that imagined new designs for the American flag, some of which emphasized divisions and decline in the country.
“The American flag is a potent piece of national iconography, but its design shifted frequently until the early 1900s. What if it were redesigned today? We asked artists and graphic designers to try,” the Times wrote. “Some are functional designs, others artistic renderings; some represent America as it could be, others how the artist sees the country now.”

Congratulations to the @nytimes for writing the stupidest op-ed (if writing is the right word for this) of all time. (And this is quite a feat considering the vast landscape of stupidity coming from the @nytopinion page.) Bravo! You've outdone yourselves. https://t.co/xqKknMGtV7

What the actual f— did I just read?
” . . . the American flag used to change frequently. What if we went back to the drawing board?”

When politicians and news outlets can throw out bald-faced lies like the one above, secure in the knowledge that they’ll be believed by a majority of Americans, there is something tragically wrong in this country.
The basic design of the American flag has NEVER changed from the 13 red and white horizontal stripes in the fly and the white stars in the dark blue canton. The only changes have been the number and arrangement of stars in the canton as new states were added to the Union.
I propose a change to the NYT monstrosity tweeted by Mansour. Remove the white stars and insert a yellow hammer & sickle—that will bring the flag squarely in line with the Democrats’ plan for America.
I’ve a better idea. HOWS” about we REMOVE the NYT, from the USA entirely!
Posting an addendum to my previous post: the replacement of the stars in the nytimes monstrosity with a hammer and sickle would also be significant by way of expressing that the States no longer exist as sovereign entities, but as vassals of the Federal Government.
States do not exist only in the satanic communist minds of the enemies of America.
Likewise, the validity of Executive Orders is only a hallucination of the leftists; along with “rules and regulations” issued by various Executive Branch agencies.
Also likewise are the legitimacy of court orders altering laws passed by Congress and signed by a president.
To whomever did the research on the Flag: the pattern of the Flag was fixed by law in 1818 at thirteen stripes for the original colonies and the appropriate number of stars for the states, basically following the design approved in 1777. The designs that were collected are nothing that any reasonable person would run up a flagpole and sulute! They were a combination of ugly, bad art, and gaudiness, and the reasoning was pure liberal psychobabble, misinformation and political anarchy celebrating decontruction rather than unity which is the purpose of a nations Flag.
The only time a country has drastically changed or completely redesigned their national flag was after a complete change in the government and governing of that country.
Recent example, the change of the red communist-soviet Russian flag of the USSR and the Russian flag today.
So in wanting to change the US American flag, what exactly is the NYT trying to imply. hmmm?
Yeah.
And to the Times, GFY.
And to anyone offended by the Stars and Stripes, GFY, and go find a country whose flag makes you feel more comfortable and at home.
WHICH is exactly what the Commucrats are TRYING TO DO.. Solidify their TAKE OVER of our nation.
Did anyone notice that there are more than 50 stars on the abomination shown?
Obama did boast of fundamentally changing the United States of America when he was elected, and he was going to stop the seas from rising. He always talked about 57 States, I’m guessing using creative math or what’s known as common core math.
When Zer0bama mentioned he had gone to 57 states, he said there were another two he had not visited and another one “they” won’t let him go to.
Well, they are trying to make Purto rico, and DC a state, so that would shift us to 52.. Then they could add the US virgin islands as another. Same for Guam, so they are no longer just US territories..
I think it’s on purpose. I counted 53 stars. They want to add Washington DC and Puerto Rico. Plus one of the other 4 inhabited territories. Either American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, or the U.S. Virgin Islands.
