County Board Member Lou Ness and Flag Etiquette

From Marengo resident Marty Mohr to McHenry County Board member Lou Ness:

Ms. Ness,

As I watched the recent Committee of the Whole meeting, it was hard for me to not notice your lack of decorum during the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. 

Lou Ness walks behind saluting Carl Kamienski.

Instead of “standing at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart”, like your fellow Board members, you chose to push your way behind Board Member Kamienski, pushing a chair forcefully out of your way. 

Perhaps your coffee that you were so cautiously holding was more important than respecting the flag, as an elected member of the County Board should.

For your reference, I’ve attached a copy of Title 4, United Stated Code, Chapter 1 and a copy of The Pledge of Allegiance, suitable for printing and framing, that you may place at your board desk.

As a citizen of McHenry County, I expect more from an elected Board Member.

Kind Regards,

Marty Mohr

Marengo, IL

  1. What say Marty Mohr who is taking the picture and not standing at attention with his hand over his heart. What’s your excuse? Lack of proper decorum?

  2. Just asking the sloth Patrol, do you stand when the anthem comes on before the televised sporting events you may watch?

  3. What say Gottemoller pretending to be patriotic.

    That lousy bum shyster voted for the rainbow flag to be flown from county facilities.

    Sad sack scum like Ness.

    Hey when’s the trial of Acosta EVER going to be set? Ninth of Never?

  4. No and neither do you or anybody else, so stop with your ignorance and faux patriotism.

  5. What a shock.

    One that a Democrat like Ness would disrespect the flag and two, a liberal like Porkboy would defend her.

    So before you rip my view on this, look at the news every day and see how the left is tearing down this country.

    From turning a blind eye to crime and allowing violent criminals to commit then walk, to laws that require co-mingling children in locker/bath rooms, the horse is definitely out of the barn.

    And it is being led out by horsesasses like Ness and Prickzter.

    My only hope is that once this absurdly spreads out to your town, and it will, the 13%ers and other degenerates, come to you home and carjack you, rob your home and cause to your taxes to go even higher because you want to give free stuff to everyone.

  6. Jack – off, not much of a thinker are you. Where did I defend her?

    I questioned the photographer. What a moron.

  7. “Perhaps your coffee that you were so cautiously holding was more important than respecting the flag, as an elected member of the County Board should.”

    She was carefully making sure that the coffee wouldn’t splash, sullying our Flag. She conveyed it safely to a level, stable surface.

    That’s what OSHA and the Material Data Sheet recommends. And yet look all around her, her fellow Members appear oblivious to the danger!

    Yet she carries on with smiling confidence.

  8. I’ve taken more oaths to defend the constitution in uniform and as a civilian than I can remember.

    I treat the flag per the code.

    But I’m not taking some loyalty oath invented 100 years after independence, turned into a religious declaration 4 years before I was born.

    If you say the flag code requires one to stand and recite, I say you’ve missed the first amendment.

  9. If you nuts put me in charge, the first I’d do is make Martin change his underwear every half hour.
    Wearing them over pants, so we can check.

  10. Frankly, you defend the “woman” if that is the proper verbiage, by criticizing the poster in another of your daily ad hominem attacks.

  11. “Just asking the sloth Patrol, do you stand when the anthem comes on before the televised sporting events you may watch?”

    No

  12. Not quite “brilliant”, just another D J offering of rage bait, for the slow-witted and infirm.

  13. DJ. The only flag they stand and salute to has 15 different colors and is used during pride month

  14. And to make matters worse Ness is now the Commander of Woodstock American Legion Post 412.

  15. For the MAGA sheep.. How do you explain a guy that lost the 2020 election by a LANDSLIDE yet STILL to this very day, won’t admit that he lost?!

    Not to mention telling his angry mob to fight like Hell then they subsequently attack and destroy our sacred Capitol, killing 5 Police Officers in the process and calling for the V.P.to be hung??

    Then this guy steals top-secret files pertaining to our military & nuclear programs then refusing to give them back, forcing the FBI to TAKE them back!

    Just curious, we never got the straight scoop on why Kushner was GIVEN 2 BILLION DOLLARS by the Saudis?!

    Hmmm, perhaps payment for some secret info??

    I would not doubt it!

    Donald Trump has literally divided this country and continues to hint towards civil unrest if he goes to jail where he belongs..

    It’s funny how he equates his legal trouble to the country and his troubles somehow mean the country is in trouble too?!

    He is insane and he thinks that if he wins the legal trouble will go away..

    This time, he can’t escape justice..

    He’s a traitor, a con-man and a thief..

    Let’s not talk about the PPP Bailouts where Donald Jr got paid over $10 million in tax-payer dollars for his “Lettuce Farm”.. that’s right!

    Look it up! And his golfer buddy gets a few million too well as many of his friends and cohorts..

    Tax payer money..

    it’s all public knowledge..

    The GOP has become a joke.

    The days of Reagan and the respect he commanded are long gone..

    In 10 years, the GOP will be no more..

    Thanks to DT and MTG and LB and MG all the other Extreme maga weirdos that will burn the GOP to the ground..

    USA!!
    Hooray for Democracy!!

  16. Well articulated letter.

    However, the Ness family HATES America.

    Why is this a surprise?

    I would have been shocked had she respected the flag.

  17. … and in regards to this article,.

    I too think that Ness has no business in the position she’s in..

    Not saluting the flag is just plain disrespectful.

    Who voted her in anyways?!

  18. Pretty much in a nutshell regarding Lou Ness.

    In my personal opinion, as one of my County Board Members, I think that she’s done an abysmal job representing the people of the 7th County Board District.

    For me, I’m concerned about our public safety now since September 18th, there’s going to be no cash bail, and folks like The Nesses are all about defunding our police and making our communities less safe all for the sake of equity and criminal justice reform.

    Lou’s daughter voted to make Fentanyl possession a misdemeanor offense.

    It’s really sad.

  19. LOFL. Who’s this Daniel L? Talk about clueless and full blown Mass Psychosis with a boatload of Cognitive Dissonance on top. IL liberals have severe mental disorders.

  20. Honestly, that ‘Daniel’ blather is like someone calling you a “dirty rotten winner”.

  21. That is by far the funniest thing Junior Thinker has ever posted. Thanks for the laugh. Every time I read it I can’t help but laugh some more.

  22. Daniel L
    “For the MAGA sheep.. How do you explain a guy that lost the 2020 election by a LANDSLIDE yet STILL to this very day, won’t admit that he lost?!” Whether he had 81-million votes is very questionable. That Dem governors, in key states, violated their own state constitutions, using the ‘OMG Pandemic’ as an excuse is not questionable. That 51-National Security leaders bought onto a carefully worded letter lying about the Hunter Biden laptop, as distributed by our now Sec. of State, just before the election, allowing Biden to falsely claim the laptop was “Russian misinformation” in the debate just before the election, is also not questionable. Was the election stolen? 100% yes.

    “Not to mention telling his angry mob to fight like Hell then they subsequently attack and destroy our sacred Capitol, killing 5 Police Officers in the process and calling for the V.P.to be hung??” Just like the Jan. 6 Congressional show trial, you’ve ignored the part where Trump told protesters to peacefully go to the Capital. He never suggested hanging anyone, no less the VP and no, 5 police were NOT killed. But, I see, there’s no end to your willingness to buy a lie, if it suits your purposes.

    “Then this guy steals top-secret files pertaining to our military & nuclear programs then refusing to give them back, forcing the FBI to TAKE them back!” This is hardly proven and maybe you can explain why Joe had such documents, all over the place, including in the offices of a university building funded by toadies of the CCP? And why hasn’t Joe been charged.

    “Just curious, we never got the straight scoop on why Kushner was GIVEN 2 BILLION DOLLARS by the Saudis?!” If there was anything on Kushner, the Leftist DOJ, FBI, NSA would have nailed him to the wall a long time ago. Hunter can get away with sh*t like that, but no one associated with Trump could jaywalk without setting off alarms in our law and justice agencies in D.C.

    “Donald Trump has literally divided this country and continues to hint towards civil unrest if he goes to jail where he belongs..” NO, he hasn’t. What has divided this country is the manner in which farLeft socialists/communists have taken control of the Democrat party and the way Democrats have gone along.

    “It’s funny how he equates his legal trouble to the country and his troubles somehow mean the country is in trouble too?!” His legal troubles DO equate to the country’s troubles. They are the most blatant examples of a biased and weaponized legal system working on behalf of one party against the other major party. Look what happens when a Democrat, even, speaks against the Leftist party line. By the way, has Joe allowed RFK secret service protection yet or is he hoping he can overcome that political challenge with the traditional way that Kennedys have left the political stage?

    “This time, he can’t escape justice..” If there was any justice, Hillary wouldn’t have been soft-peddled through the system with hardly a legal scratch. If there was any justice, someone, somewhere, would be asking the Biden crime family to explain why foreign companies and countries, including our enemies, were paying family members $millions of dollars. You have no place to talk about justice when you buy into the legal double standard that represents our justice system today.

    “He’s a traitor, a con-man and a thief..” A traitor is someone who leaves the border wide open while the drug responsible for the most deaths among 18-to-45-year-old Americans pours into the country, while the cartels turn the border into their personal, high-priced tollgate, while sex trafficking abounds coming across our border; a traitor is a president who pulls our military out of a warzone while leaving rear-echelon individuals to fend for themselves, while leaving those who supported us in that country for 20 years at the hands of radical Islamic killers. The con man is in the White House today and, as a thief, he is beyond comparison.

    “Let’s not talk about the PPP Bailouts where Donald Jr got paid over $10 million in tax-payer dollars for his “Lettuce Farm”.. that’s right!” It’s not right. If any of it was right, they’d have been nailed for it by now. The DOJ is salivating over the chance to nail Trump, his family and associates every chance they get.

    “Look it up! And his golfer buddy gets a few million too well as many of his friends and cohorts..” (see above)

    Tax payer money.. (see above)

    it’s all public knowledge.. (see above)

    “The GOP has become a joke.” If the GOP is a joke, it’s only to the extent that too many RINOs in the party refuse to see what the Left-led Democrats are doing to this country and the threat they represent.

    “The days of Reagan and the respect he commanded are long gone..” That’s not Trumps fault; Trump is merely an example of what we see as a primary form of communication on social media and, as another example, we can look at your comments right here.

    The threat to America is not MAGA; the threat is the Left and those who haven’t looked closely enough, and honestly enough, to respect the flag and the national anthem. The threat to America are all the people who have blindly followed the Far-left as it has sought to divide and destroy America. They swallow a distorted and selective history and condemn that which they owe the most. Donald Trump understands this. People who support him understand this. You don’t seem to get it. And then you dare to call those who have their eyes open “sheep?” You’re among the sheep and if you don’t wake up you’ll get everything you deserve. One day, you’ll turn around and discover that individual liberty is dead and the only way to get it back is at the cost of blood.
