Pitiful.

Treacherous.

You could learn something from your daughter.

[Redcloak]

Well, judging by the 13-year old, we can conclude that her condition isn't genetic.

[Reagan Man]

The teenage kid has more courage and brains then her Mom does. Incredible!

God Bless America

[ladyinred]

Well, this is another Anti American idiot giving an opinion that should be kept to his/herself!

[HiTech RedNeck]

This parent is obviously unfit. The child should be removed to a foster home immediately.

I've always marveled how children are oftentimes wiser than their liberal parents.

If anyone has a nice, well trained dog, please snap a photo of the dog peeing on a copy of this rag. I want to post it everywhere. Thanks.

Proof that there's hope for the next generation.

its terrible that her daughter has to explain this to her,the poor thing

[Critter]

She's a commie bitch, and should be deported. Her daughter can come stay here. My daughter wants a big sister. :)

My situation is the reverse. When I was 14 I didn't want to pledge allegiance to the flag at school and even participated in a walkout to support another student at my high school who was suspended for not pledging the flag. (Yes, this was a long time ago)

Anyway, when I told my father later what I'd done he said I shouldn't have because, despite the imperfections in America, that was our flag and he, along with my uncles, fought under it in the Korean War.

I was taken aback because my father was basically a black nationalist and had more or less raised us that way. I was surprised to hear him express any kind of patriotism.

Well, I still refrained from pledging to the flag but now am prepared to do so again at the first opportunity since 9/11. Maybe Pollitt will turn around too someday.

While somewhat off-topic for this piece, I would like to add a request: if you display the flag in any form, kindly make an effort to abide by the flag code in at least some key regards:

• Take down the flag in inclement weather unless the flag is an all-weather flag; even then, taking it down may show more respect than flying it in rain and drizzle.
• If you fly a flag from your vehicle, hem or tape the edges. I have seen dozens of flags flying from vehicles which I'm sure are less than two weeks old but look incredibly 'ratty' because their owners didn't protect the edges from fraying.
• When practical, either take down the flag at night or keep it illuminated. For flags mounted on cars, removal may be a nuisance; a flashlight in the car shining on the flag may show respect, but it may also say "steal me", so use discretion.

I appreciate the efforts people make to fly the colors, but I still find discouraging the rapidly-deteriorating condition of some of the flags people are flying. I wonder if it would be worthwhile to write a letter to the editor or call into a radio station or something?

"My daughter, who goes to Stuyvesant High School only blocks from the World Trade Center, thinks we should fly an American flag out our window. Definitely not, I say: The flag stands for jingoism and vengeance and war."

This idiot has no understanding of the flag or history. She's stuck in the 60's. I imagine her narrow minded hypocrisy will not allow her to see the wider picture. She'd do good to rent The Patriot.

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

PLEASE LEAVE MY COUNTRY, YOU TRAITOROUS WHxRE!

[Imperial Warrior]

The kid should abort her.

[MotleyGirl70]

Yadda, Yadda, Yadda....

[McGavin999]

Is there anything more pathetic than these old, worn out, hippies? This kind of anti-Americanism was "in" about 40 years ago.
