PA town paints blue stripe to honor cops but there's a problem

Bainbridge, PA -- A central Pennsylvania community painted a blue stripe between the double-yellow lines on some of their streets in honor of first responders: police, firefighters and ambulence workers.

However, the Penn. Department of Transportation is concerned that the Conoy Township might have gone too far.

The problem is, the stripe is out of compliance with state highway rules and Greg Penny, PennDOT spokesperson says that drivers could get confused and the township could be liable if the coloring causes a crash.

The New York City Marathon had the same problem.

The New York Road Runners Club, the organization that puts on the 26.2 mile event every year around the first Sunday in November, paints a blue stripe that begins at the foot of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge and runs through all five New York City Boroughs.

The stripe is painted around mid-October causing cars, trucks and buses to run amok onto curbs, into buildings, and along one-way streets the wrong way.

Thousands of people are injured and confused as to what exactly they should do about that blue stripe.

But the Conoy Township supervisor chairman Stephen Mohr disagrees that the blue stripe could be a distraction in spite of all the mayhem and death preceeding the NYC Marathon.

In spite of all the evidence, the township has no plans of removing this horrible distraction and will honor their first responders in spite of all the evidence.

May God protect the township of Conoy.

American flag flying firefighters compared to ISIS

Rhode Island -- a fire company is being told that they cannot fly the American flag on the back of their fire trucks because it makes them look like ISIS terrorists. 

Yes, I'm sure that if your home is on fire and you're stuck on the top floor and you saw a fire truck flying an American flag, you'd think twice about being rescued. Nobody wants to be beheaded by terrorist firemen.

Anti-flag liberal Fred Gralinski 

Fred-The-Libtard-Gralinski of the Central Coventry Fire District in a comparison that only a moron could make, compared the flying of Old Glory to the ISIS rag being flown while riding in Iraq or Syria.

Only a liberal can make that claim, just like they blamed Trump for the violence against Trump supporters. It's bizarre but the left believes this garbage.

Gralinski said, "They look like a bunch of yahoos. Like in the paper, like ISIS in Syria going to take over a city. I don't think they need that big flag on the back of the truck. That's not America to me. Those are a bunch of terrorists. So, I'm going to ask you to take the flag off that truck."

Truck rhymes with schmuck, which seems to suit this guy. He sees all flags as equal because he cannot distinguish the meaning of the American flag.

Obviously, America to Gralinski is a country that ought not to flaunt its pride. It's an Obama-esque place like all other places on the planet, no better, no worse, than the others. 

To Gralinski, there's nothing to see here.

But the coward caught hell for his anti-American orders and a spokesman for Gralinski said that he chose his words poorly and apologized. 

A firefighters union president said member are deeply upset by the hair brained request and firefighters have been asked in private, not to fly the flag. Many of those firefighters are brother veterans.

I believe they should fly the flag from the fire trucks and their private vehicles. They wouldn't get in trouble if they burned the flag, only if they flew it. 

Screw Gralinski and the camel he rode in on. There is no excuse for this, nor for comparing these brave men to ISIS terrorists .  .  .  unless they behead Gralinski, which I do not advocate.
