Will there be a semiquincentennial flag like the 76 Bicentennial flag?
Reason no 734 why I’m grateful Kamala wasn’t elected. The “celebration” would have been an orgy of self-flagellation. “We haven’t always lived up to our ideals…” “tell us your story” about how our wretched country has held you down, etc etc
Me I’ve got my Betsy Ross flag flying and my 20” X 30” banner with the “250” logo on it to hand underneath. I urge everyone to make a point of patriotic displays, a good in and of itself. I think it might have the side-benefit, if a lot of people are feeling good about the country, of helping deliver victory in the midterms
And, yes, I know the Ross flag is anachronistic, since the design was not approved by the Continental Congress until June 15, 1776. Close enough though, I say
It just struck me how much the gays have taken over the word “pride”. I see the word “pride” these days, and I automatically think “gay”.
Bro, who was a proud Coast Guard member in the later days of Vietnam, said he received a free flag from the government as a “veterans benefit”. The flag was “made in China”. Hehe, he sent that damn thing back with a scathing letter that altho he meant no or would ever disrespect the real flag, he mentioned a very specific place where the government could place that particular made in China one.
