Letter to the editor: Obscene displays desecrate our treasured flag

The article “Leechburg man defends obscene anti-Biden flag visible from preschool, daycare, church” missed the heart of the matter. I saw the same flag on Constitution Boulevard in Arnold. Both homeowners should be ashamed of themselves, but not for expressing a political view.

I couldn’t stand President Trump. They can’t stand President Biden. Fine. Express your dissatisfaction. But don’t do it by incorporating the American flag as part of an obscenity. To use Old Glory in such a manner is unpatriotic and is a desecration of our national symbol. For that reason alone, these flags should be removed. Let these people replace those atrocities with intelligent and thoughtful protest.

Also, just because that word is now in common parlance does not excuse it being displayed in view of churches, schools and families. There are community standards, and they should be observed and respected by all.
