Default Re: gold fringe

I know this is old and people are probably tired of hearing about it but I'm tired of reading all the nonsense from people not knowing and throwing in their own ideas. Here is some kinda shocking information on the truth of the matter behind the Gold Fringe on the American flag. Some were pretty close with the military.
Just go to this link and read the info for yourself Get That Gold Fringe Off My Flag!

Here is some kinda shocking information on the truth of the matter behind the Gold Fringe on the American flag.

The only thing that is shocking about that information is that anybody would really take it seriously. The link is to the site of something called the "American Patriot Friends Network." It's a long, disorganized, rambling and mostly incoherent rant. However, many of the quotes there will be familiar to members of this forum, because previous posters have repeatedly cut and pasted them into their posts.

I'm tired of reading all the nonsense from people not knowing and throwing in their own ideas.

Me too!! (-;

We might have to start a whole new forum category to "deal" with this subject matter (ie. "Gold Fringe").



We could call it (Drum Roll, Please.....), "The Lunatic Fringe".



OR . . . . .



Maybe not . . . . .

From Annin Flag Company;
These American flags are designed for display either indoors or in parades.
Because the fringe is not color fast to the elements nor stitched to withstand windy conditions we recommend that they not be used as outdoor flags.

Made for Indoor or Parade.
