I love the American Flag, on our block almost everyone flies the flag everyday.

Same here.  One of the houses down the street from us recently put a huge flag up.  Now we need to go get a big one too.  Right now, I just have American flag ribbon type things hanging on our trees since we don't have one of those attachment things to hang a flag off our house.

I've forwarded the DUmp thread to some OKC news organizations.

Anything I can do to make "progressives" even more welcome in "fly over country", I suggest the DUmmies take a visit soon.

Why? because they can,that's why. It's their right and they love the country for the freedom to do so and all the other freedoms we still have. You don't like it then go swallow a bucket of cow piss .

You know what dummies if someone who went thru that wants to fly their dirty underwear from the tallest remaining branch I say more power to them. These folks obviously find it an encouraging symbol of hope and endurance and maybe even  defiance in the face of tragedy. More power to them and fuxk you all very much.

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

I think that is reason enough to fly the flag in times of adversity.

I've seen houses in other neighborhoods where they have a flagpole built into the ground, I'd love to do that.

There's two dynamics at play here. First is the DUmmies' natural inclination to develop a raging crotch rash at the sight of anyone overtly displaying patriotism or expressing a sense of American spirit and resilience.

The second is, Oklahoma being a red state, they wanted to see their peoples' morale crushed and a groveling admission that they needed the federal government to take their hand and reassure them as if they were frightened children. They want to see crying people sobbing, "Where is FEMA? Why isn't anyone from the government helping us?", so they could dance on their misery and snark loud and long about how the "tea baggers" are suddenly crying out for Uncle Sam.

Flying the flag as a way to say, "We're still here, and our spirit is not broken!" galls them to no end.

Our wind is tough on flags. Even the hardware has became unsecured. I keep putting them up!

Our town has a few huge and very tall flags in a couple hotel/casino parking lots that can be seen for miles. It's pretty awesome.

Awesome overall comment, in particular the bolded!

The huge flag at the Terrible's on Rainbow/Blue Diamond had to take their flag down because of the really strong winds a few weeks ago.  I think something actually broke on the pole itself.  I'm hoping it's fixed soon and they get a new flag up ASAP!  I hate not seeing that huge flag flying there every day.
