'Mr'. (I use the term VERY loosely here) Pearlstein and Newspeak (the magazine of Orwell lovers everywhere) Have the right to publish their 'article'... But we have the right to rebutt it, as well.
'Mr.' (allegedly) Pearlstein,
Your article never addressed who the people were that the POW/MIA flag represents... The POW's from that confict... and EVERY conflict that America as a nation has ever been in. The POW/MIA flag now represents FAR more than just the Vietnam Conflict, we still have over 83,116 personnel missing in action since WWII, Here is the official site:
http://www.dpaa.mil/OurMissing/PastConflicts.aspxBut you didn't bother to mention that in your article, did you. Nope, all you cared about evil America and Vietnam. Not even thinking that maybe... Just maybe... if it weren't for some of those POW/MIA's from WWII fighting against the Nazis (probably some folks you secretly admire, based off your writings about how 'evil' America is), you would never have been born, because your parents would have been sent to a place with a gate like this:

So you can save your pompous, sanctimonious crap for the leftist twits like you. The rest of America wouldn't care if you were ran over by a formation of patriot guard riders.... who were all flying the POW/MIA flag..
