A popular flag store in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was selling about six Betsy Ross flags a day. Then Nike and Colin Kaepernick attacked this symbol of American greatness.
Now the company is selling 1,000 Betsy Ross flags a day.
TERRIFIC!
The Streisand effect is a phenomenon whereby an attempt to hide, remove, or censor a piece of information has the unintended consequence of publicizing the information more widely, usually facilitated by the Internet. It is an example of psychological reactance, wherein once people are aware that some information is being kept from them, their motivation to access and spread it is increased.
Long may these lefties continue down this track of denying history.
It must grate to see all those old white men in that photo. Not a black, Muslim or Asian to be seen. And Cindy continues with her bullshit when she says they are us.
Oops, Democrats Forgot to Be Outraged at the Betsy Ross Flag When Obama Used It
These lefties just love to hate, but forget history. The Internet never forgets despite the best efforts of Google, Facebook etc.
Lucky they had so much stock on hand, some of them might be really old. A good chance that thy were not made in the US of A.
Really interesting place to visit is Philadelphia.
The history is hugely interesting.
Betsy Ross house is still there and can be visited. Ran out of time to do that.
In the original city area that was set out in 1659 there are multiple museums, all dealing with American history. All walkable distances from inner-city apartments.
The wars before Independence between the Frogs and the English, the creating of the Constitution, the Signing of the same, the ship building (yep that was enormous), the negro population and the time and lives of them. Many were well educated and become very wealthy from early on. Many returned whence they came to get that education.
Worth a weeks visit anytime.
Go when it’s warm because it’s cold in their winter.
If ancestry .com is to be believed, my lot were amongst the first arrivals, everything was hard won, there were winners and losers and now everything has to be fair apparently.
