Democrats toss American flags in the trash

The story of the day (and one you probably won't hear much about in the liberal media) is a decision by the Democratic National Committee to toss thousands of American flags in the trash after the Dems left their convention in Denver last week.

The story appears to have originated from the Denver Post, which says that some of the flags were recovered from the trash and used at a Republican rally for Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin.

At no point is throwing the American flag in the trash considered proper flag etiquette.

Even torn or tattered flags must be properly disposed at a "dignified flag burning ceremony."

Many veterans groups such as the American Legion or the VFW or Scouts hold regular ceremonies throughout the year to properly dispose of flags.
