This is another stunning example of the current evolution of Republicon hypocrisy. Their "policies" are ever changing depending on what their intended outcome of any issue. It's astounding listening to these people argue the issues, using bizarre mental gymnastics to justify their policies du jour.
It may interest them to know that it takes a lot of courage to protest in public. Perhaps that is why these Republicons seem to resent and fear peaceful protesting. It’s so much easier to bring out a flag and fly it in front of their house. It seems that hiding behind their flag makes them feel safer. They fear those of us who have the courage to openly protest authoritarianism in public despite the constant threats to administer retribution.
