1. It's called dichotomic thinking
At the very best it's stupidity at its finest.

At worst it's an indication of Borderline Personality Disorder.

3. My response to them...
"No, OUR flag does not offend me. Does the fact that you share it with every other American offend YOU?"

5. I guess I would have to ask in return
WHY they think "their" flag would offend me.

Is there something inherently offensive about the American flag? Do they want there to be something offensive about it? If so, why? Why would they want to use the American flag to offend others?


I'm thinking that would probably shut them up long enough for me to walk away.

7. "Does Our Diaper-sex flag offend you?" - RepubliCons (R)
"Then you must be a normal American citizen. Because -- as the factual record shows -- we RepubliCons & Baggers give a Great Big Standing Ovation to our Republicon Senators who are into diaper sex & bathroom stall toe tapping. It's one of our, um, Values thingies."

- RepubliCons (R)
