Is it now hateful to show your love for your US Flag? Yes, we certainly don't want to offend any illegal immigrants and also those of third world nations visiting or living in our country, do we?

Okay Willy, so "this story" isn't true, sorry. But, I'd bet it still got a lot of "hate mail" about the salute, nonetheless, and would again today if posted. There is also talk of not being able to continue to have the Star Spangled Banner played at ball game beginnings anymore in the future, and not taking your hat off, nor put your hand over your heart for those ceremonies. How does that appeal to you?

Aquaman, I found this on the internet. I  guess it's getting hard to determine what is really the truth as revealed on the net.

On 25 October 2015 the Facebook page "Southern Baptists for Todd Kincannon 7" posted the above-displayed photograph and message about an image of "Little Timmy Saluting the Flag" being removed from Facebook because non-Americans found it "hateful."
The post was shared more than 80,000 times within a week of its original posting, and many viewers took its message literally and accused Facebook of being anti-American.

The truth is that this photograph was never removed by Facebook. The page "Southern Baptists For Todd Kincannon 7" is a satirical group that frequently posts memes in an attempt to stir up anger among conservatives. For instance, on 1 September 2015 this page started a false rumor that the word "Denali" was a Kenyan word for "Black Power."

The "Southern Baptists for Todd Kincannon 7" page does self-identify as satire, but there are several ways to discern the site's humorous nature. The biggest tip-off comes from the Facebook page's About section which lists a porn web site (bangamidget) in place of a web site for Todd Kincannon:

This reminds me of what the US Flag really represents to most Americans. It also reminds me of the hypocrisy I witness every time I see a city council meeting. They pledge allegiance to the flag, then go thru an agenda of deceit and treason against all the flag stands for, and don't even blink an eye doing so. How do people like that live with themselves and look in the mirror everyday?
