New York Times columnist Mara Gay said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that she noticed trucks with American flags and was “disturbed” by what she saw.During a conversation about the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, Gay said that she also saw trucks with anti-President Joe Biden messages and Trump flags and advised that the message she got from the American flags was: “This is my country. This is not your country.” “You know, it’s really concerning to me that the Democrats haven’t just gone ahead at this point and said, ‘We’re doing this on our own in terms of getting a commission together

I would like nothing better than to separate America, American greatness, and my whiteness from the likes of these commie idiots. This is our country...if you don't like it here, go find another one. If trucks with American flags disturb you, try North Korea.
You can shove your commission up your sixes as well. I do not consent to be governed by commies, and I do not hear the words of you little snotflake pukes.

How special are these zealot Democrat Socialists that they cannot stomach flag-waving patriots or fans of the Bill of Rights? "Sit down and Shut Up or we'll get a commission going to address our concerns." Like all authoritarians, the White-hating cheaters want unquestioning control and the ability to punish THOUGHT. The Nazis would be proud of them.

Just because she misinterprets the message and has a large audience to bleat about it all, does NOT mean what she says is true. The flags say This is my country, yes, but it also says I love my country and I will not stand quietly by while you desecrate her, while you denigrate her history and demean the people who do love their country. Even the Love It or Leave It stickers imply that as a free country, which many of us wish to preserve along with ALL our uniquely endowed freedoms, those who are dissatisfied are free to leave. WE however, will keep what we have and fight to do so.

For Snow Flake Mara Gay:
1. Don't cheat to win elections!
2. Stop making everything about race. We have had enough of whining from losers like you! You and the people of your ilk are what is dividing this country.
3. Read No.1, and don't say it's without evidence! If you don't believe it, you and The Times should look into it. Isn't that what investigative journalism is about?

She obviously lives and works in an area where people don't fly the American flag. Not surprising, given so many "take a knee" Democrats who neither like nor respect their country.

What do you want to bet the next thing they'll be offended by and demand it change is the color of the White House....Wait for it, probably before the end of the year.

You don't like it so you want it banned. No matter what "it" is. That sounds rather, dare I say it, racist to me.
Either way, that's not how things work honey bunch. Or they didn't used to anyway.

Didn't know the American flag make commieRATs "disturbed" although I already know they are "disturbed" in more ways than can be counted. I'll make sure I get plenty of AMERICAN flags a put them on my car & truck.

The term "white" is demeaning and offensive. Please tell the Gay person and the NYT not to use it ever again

Some of the places I frequent have trucks flying Confederate Flags. Went to a bar once where the owner was from England and was flying the Union Jack. Doesn't bother me. I had other things to worry about.

The US flag should not worry anyone other than her enemies. This past weekend was the 77th anniversary of DDay , you enemy of the State.

Dear disturbed Mara Gay, if you do not like the American flag and what it stands for, then, which flag do you like? And if it is from another country, go right ahead and move to that country. No one would ever stop you.

Her comments are highly inflammatory. If the United States is so evil, she should move to Gabon.

I live in the United States of AMERICA. I fly the USA flag. I am white and don’t give a rats sweet patute that missy gay doesn’t like it. But one fact I will argue with her is. We live in a Representative Republic. Not a democracy. Has never been and never will be a democracy country.

Well about 80% of the US population are White people with about 13% being Black people so her chances of seeing White people and their so-call “whiteness” vanish are quite slim. The American flag is the symbol of the entire nation and Black people who are Democrats or Republicans can fly it just as White people who are Democrats or Republicans can fly it. Maya Gay is groping at straws here and voicing her radical thoughts about the American flag will not be a winner for her.

If you read the entire article, the interesting fact is really down at the very end:...
FTA ~~"...But if we don’t take the threat seriously, then I think we’re all in really bad shape.”
“Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski added, “Totally agree.”~~

Back in eighth grade, Ms. Gay's teacher told her that our flag stands for the republic established by our Constitution. And that it promises liberty and justice for all. Ms. Gay wasn't listening that day and has been resolutely incurious about the meaning of our democratic republic ever since. Being ill-informed but confident in her opinions, she is a perfect fit for the Grey Lady.

If seeing the American flag makes her feel likes it's not her country, she's probably right.
