Can anyone explain why the Biden administration has now declared our Embassies can

The US flag is flying over our embassies and consulates.

How much do you know about the Flags and Seals of this country?

What do you want to know?

It is inappropriate to fly any flag other than the national flag over an embassy or consulate.

BLM and the homosexual movement have no official ties to and do not represent the United States or the government of the United States.

Well, any flag you fly can be complained about. What makes a union flag or religious flag somehow okay but not the gay flag or whatever it is that's being put up?

Has the union or religious flag been flown at our embassies or other Gov't building? as far as I know the answer is NO. If not then you are trying to compare something that has not and is not allowed to happen.

The answer to the OP is, the democratic party has chosen to make these groups victims that only they support, now they don't support them any more than anyone else, but they will act like they do to get them to vote for them.

“As far as you know” obviously isn’t far enough.

The American Flag should be flown higher than lesser flags. (Done)

In a group of state, local and/or society flags, the American Flag should be flown highest and in the center. (Done)

If a state, local or society flags are flown on the same halyard with the American Flag, the American Flag should be at the top. (Done)

As usual, snowflake Cons are trying to argue from a position of ignorance. (Dumb)

The UK and the US flew the Skittles flag on their Embassies. Not even Sweden, Denmark, Norway, South American Countries, Central American, ME Countries have any other flag on the pole. Of course. Nor does Russia, China, N Korea, or Iran.


Didnt see or hear the French Flying the Skittles flag for Pride Month.

You are completely missing the point.

The flag flying over an embassy or consulate is the official marker if you will, of the United States. It is not the same as flying a flag in your front yard or over your little clubhouse.

That is a part of the problem. Democrats are treating the government like it is some kind of club and believe they can do whatever they want without consequence. Embassies and Consulates are more than government offices.

Not according to BLM; they are simply a group demanding that America end the war on blacks, commit to reparation's for past and continuing harms, investment of the education of black people, economic justice for all, a reconstruction of the economy to ensure that black communities have collective ownership and not just access, community control of the laws, institutions and policies that affect them the most. That doesn't sound very Marxist to me. Now if you feel that the display of their flag proves that America is an emasculated country ripe for the picking (whatever that means), that is certainly your right but I can assure you that their are most likely others who would not agree with your premise. Personally I find that flying flags of social and economic groups does not reflect discredit upon nor hurt our country in the eyes of the world. Just think about it; if America had never brought slaves over to this country in the first place, we most likely wouldn't be having this conversation right now would we?

Actually, it's position has softened and evolved to attempt to stay relevant. I looked for but couldn't find last year's "Demands" which were quite Marxist. So, I ask myself: what is its true desire: that stated in the beginning; or, that stated now after it's original desire took a ton of heat?

I think with all movements, their positions evolve over time as you mentioned in order to stay relevant; what will be interesting will be to take a look in a couple of years to see, what if, any changes in policy take place in the organization which will make it acceptable by a majority of the American people.

The ideas it put out last year were hard core marxist ideas. You lead with your strongest demands and then give up / soften. It's a marxist organization.
