Apparently in Poughkeepsie, New York American flags are nothing more than ‘distracting.’ So much so that the progressive liberal Democrats in charge of that city have ordered all fire trucks to remove all American flags, because they are deemed ‘distracting’ or something. They even had a ‘ceremony’ yesterday to remove the flags from the fire trucks.

A decision by the board of fire commissioners serving Poughkeepsie, New York sparked outrage when the panel ordered Arlington Fire District Chief Tony Gallante to remove the American flags from the rear of his trucks, the Poughkeepsie Journal first reported.
Arlington Fire Commissioners Chairman Jim Beretta said three of his members called the flags a “liability” and a “distraction to motorists.”
Two other members said the department could keep the flags posted as long as they didn’t interfere with operations.
Beretta said the board had not been consulted before the flags were posted on the trucks.
A ceremony was held Tuesday in the town, about 80 miles north of New York City, to formally remove the flags.
Poughkeepsie is yet another perfect example of liberal New York values. Screw them and screw New York.
