It is important to remember what the country’s priorities should be.

While we have income inequality, inequity of medical care due to poverty and race, a pandemic, people acting on politically motivated misinformation placing their health and lives and those of others in danger, lead in pipes poisoning children, bridges ready to collapse if they haven’t already, pot-holes that whole families have been lost in, and some recent testy moments with the Evil Empire, it is important to not lose sight of what matters spend time on the important issues like Dr. Seuss’s family’s decision not to republish poorly selling books, Mr. and Mrs. Potato head becoming potatoes with a slew of features to choose from, Joe Biden’s not limiting the number of hamburgers Americans can eat in a year, and now the Pride flag on government property.

The Biden rescinded the Trump administration’s requirement to get special permission from the State Department to fly the Pride flag. Anyone familiar with the motivation for this regulation knows that the response will be “no” each time as there was no guarantee it would be given and Trump even forced some embassies to take theirs down when he changed to policy.

This is not idle talk as I had been held to such a requirement with the most innocuous request getting rejected along with all the others.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced that instead of playing this game which is totally subjective and reliant on a supervisor’s religious, political, and personal beliefs while ignoring those of the person making the request, foreign outposts could simply do it if the people there so dire without jumping through hoops meant to discourage the practice.

The new policies is not a requirement to fly the flag, it just allows for it to be hung. just the possibility while not be required to hang the flag.

The religious right and Republican leaders are predictively appalled.

Newt Gingrich denounced the move, and Religious right leader Franklin Graham has called the posting of the flag “a specific agenda”, something he might want to bring up at the next National Prayer Breakfast

The outrage almost dims the brightness of that of a castrated potato, an outrage based solely on either not understanding the real world and the GQP contradictions that exist in it, simply ignoring the facts, and/or worse just outright lying because it promotes an agenda.

“Every idiotic thing that the Biden administration has done in the first 100 days, you begin to realize — whether it’s threatening everybody who believes in the Second Amendment or it’s attacking everybody who believes in right to life or it is attacking people of traditional values who are appalled that this administration would fly the gay flag at American embassies all over the world.

“I mean, you just go down item by item and it’s almost like they have a checklist of ‘What can we do that will really, truly, infuriate traditional Americans?’ And I’ve never seen anything like it. I couldn’t imagine any administration which had been this deliberately anti-American and it’s deliberately committed to infuriating the majority of the American people.”

Listening to him and supporting his version of America is the true test of patriotism.

Not to be outdone in the area of misrepresentative hyperbole, Franklin Graham speaking from his virtuous high horse rambled.

“Just because something is ‘authorized,’ that doesn’t make it right! Why should a flag representing one group of people and a specific agenda be literally raised up above all others and allowed to fly at our embassies and consulates?”

Apparently, he is unaware that regardless what flag is flown, the Pride one, the MIA/POW one, Trump 2020, the American flag is on top.

Newt also let it be known that he accepts and promotes the idea that there are regular and irregular Americans and that he and his ilk are the arbiters as to who is which.

“Look, I think that the left has decided they’re going to try to push all the regular Americans into a corner where they either have to fight, in which case they’ll be attacked by the news media, or they have to just cave and hide.”

 Yet, when he was in a leadership role in the Republican Party he did whatever he could to slam the closet door on GLBT people and force them to hide, I assume, because they did not fit into what he considers “regular” Americans.

The divorcee who at the age of 19 married his 26 year old Geometry teacher on whom he cheated while she was dying of cancer, delivering the divorce papers to her death bed, and then marrying the woman with whom he had been cheating, only to repeat this, sans cancer, by proposing marriage to wife number three before asking wife number two for a divorce, and who apparently thinks straight people in the military are a celibate lot, had objected to ending Don’t Ask/ Don’t Tell because

 “I don’t think that in the military you would particularly want sexual behavior to be an overt issue.”

Where has this guy been, has he not watched a war movie?

Just hide.

It would be wonderful if Gingrich et al would take the energy to fulminate about potatoes and outdated children’s books and fight for what is best for the American people, and that they take the time to notice that the treatment they rail against is what they have been meting out to others.
