Congress has passed a proposal to require the federal government to purchase only flags that have been completely manufactured in the U.S.

Soon, Old Glory will have to be born in the land of the free and not merely flying over it.

Congress has passed a proposal to require the federal government to purchase only American flags that have been completely manufactured in the U.S. The U.S. imports millions of American flags from overseas, mostly from China, and the sponsors of the proposal said it’s time for American flags to originate in the country they represent.

Supporters of the proposal, led by Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine and Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio, said the change is more than just symbolic — they believe it will support American jobs and manufacturers while preserving the nation’s most recognized banner.

    So that’s where you want the goal posts to be now that you’ve been proven wrong?

    I’ve said what needed to be said and have better things to do with my time than indulging the bad faith distortions of delusional liberals, so have the day you deserve.

      I have no idea why you are so angry, nor who you think you’re arguing with (it certainly isn’t me). I hope things get better for you soon. Really.
