"Rightwing, Pendejo, Racist".....??
Friday Sept. 25, 2009
Full posting www.bank211s-mike.blogspot.com

Received numerous reader comment/e-mails at [e-mail] accusing me of being a " Right Wing,Pendejo,Racist" for posting the BOA / Flag scandal and referring to past posting on this website with details from considerable research earlier this year.
Wonder how many U.S. Government workers, Military, Federal,State businesses are closing accounts with BOA?
Appears the Banking Cartels are breaking ranks on the American Flag Conspiracy by placing American Flag orders from manufactures by the 10s of thousands, both outdoor and small flags for customer giveaways.

Drop a pebble in the lake and watch the waves.

The American Flag was being placed next to the sidewalk

Don't take too much offense, I was being somewhat sarcastic. You can pretty much take any issue these days and twist it to fit the left or right rhetoric.

Anytime someone tells an American company how to conduct business they become a socialist commie. The topic fit the rhetoric, but not the real world, as is often the case.

My dad was a Marine. My mom was buried with a full Marine color guard next to him in Arlington some 40 years later, I still cry at the memory of that day, I wasn't expecting that level of honor. I don't have a problem with our American flag anywhere on this planet, trust me. America, like all, has faults, but I firmly believe we are the best damn game in town, period.

If they take your flag down, no need to acknowledge that with protest. Bring 2 with you and carry them even higher. And thanks for your service to our right to be free and safe.

This is a ridiculous situation. I think it's sad that we have come to a place in this country that we have to worry about "offending" people with our country's flag.(whether this was a corporate or one employees stupid decision)
If you want to remove your money or close your credit card account for this, let me give you one more reason.(It's the reason I closed my credit card account a long time ago.)
Bank Of America is happy to give out credit cards with "no social security number required". Which means credit cards given to illegal aliens. One more reason to pull your business from Bank of America and another reason for Bank of America to CHANGE THEIR NAME. The fact that they use "America" in their name OFFENDS ME!
God bless the United States of America, this marines family and every person that defends our country!

AMEN!

As much as I detest BoA this was the actions of one person. In addition I was taught to lower the flag at dusk, the flag becomes meaningless if just hung up and forgotten. The flag is a symbol of our country, it has no magical power.
But what I find most disturbing is how many of these people so upset over square pieces of plastic will spend the rest of the night slandering our president?

The flag is a symbol but it stands for our freedom and the men and women who pay the ultimate price.

I stopped taking checks from boa at my business

I have 'children' in the U.S. Military (lifers)on their 4th tour in Iraq, I love apple pie, Mom and our America Flag and I'm calling Bank of America blatant liars; today is 10-5-09 and not ONE American Flag is flying in the San Gabriel Valley of California, naked flag poles or never had flag poles. I took digital photos of each BOA I passed.
Waiting to see BOA refute or put spin on that!, read several comments from retired BOA employees stating it IS BOA policy never to fly our flag in front of bank. How much BS will Americans swallow or do they even care?. KUDOS to keith #51
check out website www.scorpio-security.com great message to BOA in upper right corner.
God Help America

if they had an american flag at every branch lines of complaining wineing consumers would rant on about how BofA is trying too capitalize on the American flag:(

I really don't think so; survey was done this summer, Taco Bell, Carls burgers, car dealers,check cashing businesses, blood banks,Red Cross etc etc fly the American Flag, with respect, everyday.
Another point of view is since 700 Billion $ of taxpayer money was used to 'bail-out' banks the bank is now public property and citizens are demanding they fly our Stars & Stripes.

They don't fly the flag with 'respect,' they hang it up and replace it every few years. You make it sound like a detail of Taco Bell marines come out at dusk and salute it.

“The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs; printed on paper napkins, boxes or anything that is intended to be discarded. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or Halyard from which the flag is flown.”(U.S Code, Title 4, Chapter1, Section 8(i)), however, the display of a corporate flag is not considered to be advertising.

Love opinions from Germany, all Americans know U.S Code, Title 4, Chapter1, Section8(i), now what does that have to do with BOA refusing to fly our American Flag ?.
