Hey YOU! You there with the American Flag flying on your car!
I know you think you are being patriotic, but to me, you are really being the exact opposite of that. You are being disrespectful to the flag, and the USA, and you are in reality the symbol of exactly what is wrong with America.
The flag I know, the one that draped the coffin (Died during World War II) of my Mother's brother (And my namesake), was made of cloth. cloth made right here in the USA. it was sewed right here in the USA. My Grandma used to bring it out of the display case on special occasions and let us touch it and feel it, the silk stars and the satiny fabric of the stripes. To this day, I can remember how that flag felt and I and my Brother considered it an honor to fold and place in the case that she proudly displayed on her mantle. Grandma took especial care to see that it was always in perfect condition.
The flag I know, the one that I folded time after time in the Boy Scouts, and as a special student activity in school, was made of cloth. Cloth made right here in the USA. The flag I know was sewed right here in the USA. By people that were employed right here in the USA. By a US company that paid workers well and paid taxes in the USA. I always took special delight in the fact that how you fold the flag is how you also fold a paper football. And I would take extra effort to make them perfect every time too.
The flag I know, the one that I saw draped over my friend's coffins during the Vietnam war, was made of cloth. Cloth made right here in the USA. The flag I know was sewed right here in the USA. By people that were employed right here in the USA. By a US company that paid workers well and paid taxes in the USA. In my middle class neighborhood, seeing these flags was commonplace. The flags that fly over the Vietnam Memorials, in both Washington and Sacramento and containing my friend's names, are made of cloth.
The flag I know, the one that draped my Uncle Gene's coffin, (first man on the beach at Normandy as an unarmed medic who lived until 1999 bust seldom talked about himself and the war) was made of cloth. Cloth made right here in the USA. The flag I know was sewed right here in the USA. By people that were employed right here in the USA. By a US company that paid workers well and paid taxes in the USA. That flag was put on display in the family home, along with my namesake's and both are a cherished keepsake of the family.
The Flag I know was a keepsake something special, something to care for. And we knew the rules. Taken down at sundown and put up at sunrise (many times with Taps playing) and hats off during the anthem. Never to touch the ground. RESPECT THE FLAG.
I may have disagreed with the policies of the country, but when the flag was shown, I gave respect to the symbol of the country. Hats off, Hand over heart, no talking. The flag was special, and still is, no matter the squabble with policy.
The flag you are flying? Well that flag is made of OIL. (nylon you know) OIL that came from another country. It was made by slave labor in a foreign land (China, Bangledesh, or some other third world country) by a company that more likely than not does not contribute in any way towards this county the USA. Not via taxes or anything other than selling cheap ass crap at a stores across the country.
The same stores that do not pay living wages to the people that work there. The same stores that evade taxes by sending billions of dollars overseas in order to avoid taxes.
That, to me is disrespectful, not only of the flag, but the country you profess to love when I see your foreign merchandise flapping in the breeze as you ride around town, at all hours of the day or night. Please stop disrespecting the flag and the country.
This must be a mole.

The textile industry that controlled my little town and several more in a radius of 4o miles and a few farther than that was controlled by a democrat family. That family has always and still is a democrat supporting family. They even had a family member in the Clinton administration. Well, they loaded everything up plus some smaller textile mills they bought and moved it ALL to Brazil.
This place has been more or less dead for 20 years....but it's recovering slowly.

DUmmie logic 101:
Wearing patriotic inspired apparel= Bad/disrespectful
Burning, defecating, tearing, or otherwise mutilating the flag in a spirit of hatred= Good
This is as hilarious a read and makes as much sense as when primitives try to use text from the Bible against conservatives.

Hey ghostsinthemachine - you sound like a floundering idiot. It's entirely possible that all your flaggy anecdotes also apply to the perceived offenders, who by my very detached estimation are far better souls than you could ever imagine to be. Have you considered stepping in front of all these "Patriot mobiles" in protest?
**** off.

The ghostsinthemachine primitive is a liberal, and by extension supports policies that are directly opposed to what the Constitution states. But since the flag he uses was "Made in the USA", it's OK that he's a traitor to the country.
Whatever you have to tell yourself there, primitive. :loser:

What an arrogant prick. From the side that stomps on it, shits on it and sets it on fire, no one gives a rip what you think about it. Did you even consider that flag might be on the veterans car or the family of someone serving?
BTW, that cloth flag: Both cotton and linen are made from plants. The seeds are sown with machines that use oil & gas. The raw materials are moved by trucks & trains that use oil and gas. Those raw materials are then made into cloth with machines that, in addition to using oil to keep the machines greased, also have parts made from patroleum. The people that work in those plants drive to work in cars that use oil and gas. The cloth is then moved to factories that turn the material into flags by trucks and trains that use oil and gas, etc., etc., etc.
Idiot!

Hey you! The ungrateful unpatriotic f*ckstick putting down the American flag in the back of someone's car.
Guess what? I fly that flag too. Only I wear it on the right shoulder of my Army Combat Uniform. I've carried it proudly on my shoulder to places like Iraq and Afghanistan...Germany...and the Baltics. Before that it was on my Desert Combat Uniform (chocolate chips and tri-colors). I proudly wore it on my shoulder in places like Somalia and Kuwait.
I'm not the only one...there's been hundreds of thousands who've done the same thing. They even wore it in WWII like you talked about...in places like Hurtegen Forrest and Guadalcanal.
I'm not special...not by a long shot...I'm not perfect...neither is our country.
But on my worst day...I'm a THOUSAND times better than your sorry ass. I've at least got the intestinal fortitude it takes to defend this country...stand up for our Constitution...our CINC no matter who it is...and more importantly...our way of life.
You despise all of that and spit on anyone who does what you're incapable and unwilling to do.
And the absolute hell of it is...every single member of the military who posts on the very board you're lurking on as I type this...has at one point put their ass on the line to defend your right to be a mouth breathing ritalin chewing moron. And they'd do it again tomorrow.
Dying in a fire is too easy to wish on you. I want you to live. I want you to have to suffer seeing people love and appreciate a country and a way of life you so overtly despise.
And more importantly...I want to you to have to suffer in your own personal hell...every time you see that flag on the shoulder of a member of the U.S. Armed Forces.

Man, ain't that the truth.
Really, seriously, what country exists in the world that would take in an American primitive?
Honest, not sarcastic, question.

France maybe. Perhaps the Netherlands or Belgium. But that's about it.
None of the other Utopia's the DUmmies wish we were have the freedom to do a tenth of what the primitives are allowed to here.

Hi5, well said. It's so very funny how CONVIENTIENTLY DUches are the misunderstood patriots, and we are the ebil war-mongering rethughliKKKans!!!!ELEBINTY!!!
Every single day of my time in the army, I have felt it is funny how taken for granted we are. People go about their lives, not thinking anything about the military in peacetime. We're just a drain on the economy at that point according to the DUches... But let something happen and the balloon goes up? All the sudden, they are the biggest military supporters... For about 5 seconds (the average DUche attention span).
DUches are amongst the biggest IDIOTS we have in our country today. The fact that this DUche was allegedly a Boy Scout, irritates me to no end. Because doing your duty to God and your COUNTRY, is to make sacrifices, it's making things better for others, while not expecting ANYTHING in return. And the fact that this DUche failed to grasp these key tenents of what was scouting, shows me that he was there because he was forced to by his parents.
GFYS DUche, with a pineapple grenade sans pin.. sideways. :bigbird:

What the DUches will never EVER understand is that real patriotism...real love of country doesn't begin and end based on whether there is a (D) or an (R) warming the big cushy seat in the Oval Office.
It's a 24/7/365 love of the land we were born and raised in and a pride for that country no matter what happens.
DUches base their love of country on the outcome of the last election cycle.
Which is why they will never understand why you and I feel the way we do about our country.

I know you think you are being patriotic, but to me, you are really being the exact opposite of that.
And what have YOU done, that I should give a rat's ass what you think? You are not your probably-fictional 'Uncle Gene,' you are just trying to steal some cred from him (In the unlikely event he even existed in the first place), so just shut your pie-hole and get back to panhandling.
