NEW YORK — As a young boy, I loved the American flag. I'd lead my younger sisters in patriotic parades up and down the sidewalk, waving the flag, blowing a whistle and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance over and over until my sisters begged me to let them go back to their Easy-Bake Oven.
I loved singing the national anthem. I won an essay contest on "What the Flag Means to Me." I decorated my bicycle with little American flags for a Fourth of July parade and won a prize for that too. I became an Eagle Scout and proudly promised to do my duty to God and country. And every year I asked to be the one who planted the flag on the grave of my uncle, a paratrooper who was killed in World War II. I was taught to admire his sacrifice, and I hoped to grow up and do my part, as he had, to keep us free.
But, in high school, things changed. Nine boys from my school came back home from Vietnam in boxes. Draped over each coffin was the American flag. I knew that they also had made a sacrifice. But their sacrifice wasn't for their country: They were sent to die by men who lied to them. Those men — presidents, senators, government officials — wrapped themselves in the flag too, hoping that their lies would never be questioned, never be discovered. They wrapped themselves in the very flag that was placed on the coffins of my friends and neighbors. I stopped singing the national anthem at football games, and I stopped putting out the flag.
I realize now I never should have stopped.
For too long now we have abandoned our flag to those who see it as a symbol of war and dominance, as a way to crush dissent at home. Flags are flying from the back of SUVs, rising high above car dealerships, plastering the windows of businesses and adorning paper bags from fast-food restaurants. But these flags are intended to send a message: "You're either with us or you're against us," "Bring it on!" or "Watch what you say, watch what you do."
Those who absconded with our flag now use it as a weapon against those who question America's course.

The flag-draped left. But then again, is there a flag big enough to cover his arse?
As an important a symbol the American flag is there is much more to loving America and what it stands for than painting things red, white and blue.
I think this points to a serious mental illness in Moore.
Michael Moore is the pig-faced guru of the Left. He shows just how low they've gone and shows that any lowbrow dolt can now be a good Lefty.
<< They were sent to die by [Girly] men who lied to them. Those men — presidents, senators, government officials — >>
Every one of them a "DemocRAT!"
How efficaciously the Liberal Psychosis sandwich-boards its definitively self-loathing psychopathologically-hesperophobic, morbidly-projecting sufferers.
And in Fat Bastard's case, just look at the pathetic poor bastard, surely involuntary restraint cannot be far away.

The ironic part of all this is that Mickey has become a millionaire capitalists pig by creating and marketing F-911 to a bunch of leftist weirdo's.

'Fat Bastard' is, thank God, the ludicrous left's David Duke.
And will be its Samuel Taylor Coleridge 15 Minute's Fame Award recipient.
Its albatross.
Yeah. No doubt Michael Moore was the leader of his Cub Scout chapter too. I think we can file this one under "bilgewater."
The next step is they will want their own flag, one that is not associated with so much "dominance".

there = their
well, now there you have the problem...pie in the sky wishes that won't happen without some drastic changes in the nature of mankind.
1) the "have-nots" are rarely grateful, not because they "have not" but because they are not motivated to improve their own conditions, with or without help. jealousy and griping are easier
2) what is a "good paying job"? mm can mock all he wants the so-called low paying jobs (which in America lately prove to be not so low paying, truth be told) but the standard of living differs from country to country, who can afford a high minimum wage if that is all we ALL can make because of high taxes?
3) his movie was filled with lies to support his specious reasoning-this feels like a cover your arse piece because people are starting to realize that MICHAEL MOORE IS A BOTTOM FEEDER WHO HAS BECOME RICH BY EXPLOITING DEATH AND TRAGEDIES. he has polarized the country because there was no other way to make money off such previously verboten subjects.
