Reply #49: That's basically what I do... [View All]

Everyone in the neighborhood knows I am a Progressive, I make no bones about my dislike for bushco.

But I fly my flag whenever I feel like it. I take it in during inclement weather, (something the RWnuts around here do NOT do), and I make sure everyone knows of my disdain for false patriotism,
(fake-riots).

One person, at a town meeting, questioned my patriotism when I said I disagreed with the bushites. The next meeting, I took my old uniform with me, draped it over a chair, and put my DD-214 on it. NOBODY questioned my patriotism after that.

The RWnuts think they have a corner on flags and any other symbol of the US, they are wrong. The vast majority of people I served with are Progressives. Those that hang around the VFW talking crap, were all REMF's, (at least the majority of them), and rarely, if ever saw combat.

I do not hold that against them, they served, and should be proud of their service. The people that aggravate me, are the ones that have never servred this country in any capacity, and yet insist on going out and railing for war. I offer them rides to the recruiter of their choice; but I have NEVER had one take me up on it. Chickenhawks disgust me to no end.

:kick: for the flag and all of us!
