America In Distress. A Sign Of The Times

America is truly in trouble. We have re elected a socialist  to the white house. Our economy is in the toilet with a President who was proven after his first four years that he has no idea how the fix it. His administration is a pack of crooks.. But don't complain or you will be labeled un American or worse!!!


Clay County man says country is in distress

CLAY COUNTY, Fla. -
A Fleming Island man is flying his American flag upside down in what he calls free speech.
Jack Haggerty told Channel 4's Vic Micolucci he is as American as anyone. He's a Korean war veteran. But he thinks the nation is going in the wrong direction, that we're upside down right now, hence his very public display.
But his display is getting a lot of heat and criticism by neighbors. Several neighbors said they were upset with the upside down flag, but only one resident would talk on camera.
"I don't functionally see any difference between flying the flag upside down and hanging it," said neighbor Ron Thompson.
Thompson said he has known Haggerty for years, and he's a good man, but this he said, is a bad decision.
"I understand the sentiment behind it, but personally I don't believe in using the flag as a tool for personal protest. He's not in distress in the sense that he's not calling for help. He doesn't need police or the fire department," said Thompson.
