Does the flag represent jingoism? It can. Does the flag represent patriotism? It can.
The Flag also represents peace, goodwill, a sense of fairness and fairplay.
The Flag can be used by the majority and the minority.
I am baffled by the anti-Flag movement.
As a vet I am for peace because war can really screw up my day, so the "left" has no cornerstone in that department. I think most vets would agree.
I also believe that flag burning, while despicable is very protected under the First Amendment. It means a gross protest and displeasure with the government...
I guess I have to conclude that the anti-Flag folks are in reality Hate America Fifth Columnists...
Some of you may know that I sell at county fairs. Last Monday we went and set up and returned home for az few days. I had three flags flying, two "dont tread on me" and a peace flag. After Tuesday I took down the peace flag and replaced it with the Stars and stripes. My "Peace" incense is being re-labeled as "Victory"
I just can't fathom the idiocy of these people. What azre they so afraid of? Afraid of being an American? Ashamed because our country practiced slavery 140 years ago? Because we invented baseball?Cherry-dip cones?
Please someone tell me why they are ashamed to ive in this country and why don't they just go...
