You know what REALLY REALLY irritates me?

[Danger Mouse]

:rant:
Those damn miniature American flags that certain morons decorate their cars with. These flags are supposedly meant to express patriotism...but what do these clowns think happen to the flags over time? THEY GET TORN TO SHREDS! That's, you know, seriously disrespecting the flag, which is ironic considering how many of those people are likely opponents of flag burning.
What's worse, desecrating the flag as a form of political protest, or desecrating it because you're a fucking idiot?
Know what I love even MORE? When someone loves America so damn much they put TWO miniature flags on their car. Nothing says 'Golly gee do I love America' like a wind-torn shred of fabric that used to be Old Glory.
I thought this to myself as I was driving behind someone today who had one of those flags on his car. In addition to this, he had a 'God Bless America' ribbon sticker on his bumper and a 'God Bless America' frame for his license plate. A real class act. Really showing your patriotism by ruining a flag for the sake of a gaudy public display.
The best part? The car was a HONDA. If you're so fucking patriotic, BUY A DAMN AMERICAN CAR, IDIOT.
Hey, not for nothing, I drive a Subaru, but I'm not claiming that I'm some kind of uber patriot.
Ah. That feels SO much better.

4. Like you, I never understood the point

After all those that would put flags on their car, should know and understand flag etiquette.

6. But they haven't the slightest concept of it.

Just like wearing an american flag shirt or something tacky like that.
Like everything else in this country, it's been cheapened.

5. Your flag decal won't get you into heaven anymore

Whenever I see those flags, I think of this song.

11. I hate that, too

Seeing torn-up flags really gets to me. These morons have no idea how disrespectful they are being to the flag they supposedly love so much.
