PA Dem forced to resign after patriotic Facebook post "I stand for the flag; I kneel at the cross'

The Democrats believe it's offensive for posting the words: "I stand for the flag, I kneel at the Cross."

Had a top Democrat in Pennsylvania said instead, "I kneel for the flag, I stand with all women accusers and always believe them" the Democrats would not have found that offensive and he would have not been fired.

Mark Salvas told CBS1 Pittsburgh that the chair of the Allegheny County Democratic Party asked him to resign mainly because a photo from last year showed him and his wife with those words posted on his Facebook page.

Imagine that, standing for the flag. How terrible. But kneeling at the Cross is taking it too far. He might be offending Muslims and that's a no-no with the Politically Correct crowd of word nazis.

Democrats in Allegheny County, who evidently suck sea shells, were offended by his patriotism as well as another post by his wife that asked to support a cop charged in the fatal shooting of a black teen in June.

Because cops are bad and must be punished for whatever they do.

"I'm not ashamed of my patriotism, not one bit," Salvas, a Gulf War veteran of the United States Marine Corps said. "I fought for this country. I think I have a right to have a voice and be patriotic."

The police officer involved in the summer shooting who Salvas supports is a close friend and he and his wife wanted to be there for his family. How very un-Democratic of him.

The officer, Michael Rosfeld, was charged in the shooting death of 17-year-old Antwon Rose Jr. in East Pittsburgh. The incident occurred merely hours after Rosfeld was sworn in--he had worked at the East Pittsburgh Police Department for several weeks.

Pennsylvania Rep. Ed Gainey (D) told CBS2 Pittsburgh that Salvas' Facebook post was insensitive to black Democrats. "If you're going to be executive director of the Democratic Party, you have to be sensitive to things like that," he told the media.

But you don't have to be sensitive to close friends and their need of support from you.

Salvas, who has a bi-racial child and black family members said he has no apologies regarding his post.

Hopefully, he will consider moving to the party that actually goes along with his core beliefs, because the Democrats sure as hell don't.
