I'm flying a flag at my house for the 1st time in 8 years. |
|
I went and bought a new flag a few days ago. Call me optimistic.
It looks AWESOME.
I used to fly the flag a lot, mainly on special occasions (national holidays or significant dates in American history), and sometimes for more private stuff (my enlistment date, dates that a couple of my military buddies died, etc.).
Eight years ago I woke up and some little shit-stick fake-ass "Texan" rich-boy had apparently stolen an election that I went to bed thinking had been won by Al Gore. A few weeks later a criminally-partisan Supreme Court made it official.
Around 2003 or so I was really worried about the inevitable war and for some reason did a Google search on "conservative AND idiots" and HEY! PRESTO! I was directed to this site. It was like a tall glass of cold water after a hike in the high desert. I read for a long time and officially joined a year later (vetting and all that).
To say this place has been a godsend/oasis/sanity check verification is an understatement.
Y'all know how it is.
Anyway...it's been a long time. I swore I would never fly an American flag again until that stupid drunken cheerleader dumbass was gone, but here we have Barack Obama as our next President...I couldn't wait.
Love,
Vickers

My eighteen year ond son took his upside down flag from his room and, together, we hung it on a pole in front of the house, pridefully, with tears in our eyes.

8. Been flying mine for the last three weeks. |
|
Unlike the local freeps, I take mine in at night and during inclement weather.
You see, I am a patriot.

11. This was a lovely sight to wake up to! |
|
Blue skies, an American flag gently waving in the breeze, and a big fat picture of Barack and Michelle Obama on the cover of the paper with "HISTORY" in 3 inch letters across the top.
