to hang out front of our house -- an American flag on one side, he said, and a peace sign on the other.

(It would have gone nicely with my Obama sign, too, but that was unfortunately stolen yesterday.)

2. A great idea he has. If Obama is elected, we will fly our flag for
the first time since before the Thief in Chief took up residence in the WH.

3. The flag should be a symbol of pride.
It hasn't been for me since GWB was "elected." The invasion of Iraq made it worse- a treasonous misuse of American pride, power and blood.

Sounds like your kid understands the flag perfectly.

6. Our flag went up tonight.
in anticipation of tomorrow's victory and in honor of my father. He was a great Democrat and I wish that he was alive to share the moment.

11. that really sums it up, doesn't it?
This election is about renewal. Obama's campaign logo captures it perfectly - it's a sun, rising and bringing a new day. This is what it's all about.
