““Howard Zinn, a World War II bombardier,”.....for who? Japan or Germany?””


From his attitude, I’m guessing France.

“This evening, I’ll be buying a spotlight so that I can keep my flag flying ‘round the clock this week.”


Dittos. This scumbag has served as an inspiration, albeit not the one he intended.

The “Black Book of Communism” details the millions of deaths of which you speak. Libs try to pin Hitler on the right wing, although he too was a socialist.

"The “Black Book of Communism” details the millions of deaths of which you speak."

True, but Rummel was doing so before TBBC was published. The difference is that he also has stats on non-Communist "democides", so that one can actually compare the Commies with, for instance, the Inquisition, or Genghis Khan.

If you check the stats for "socialism" as a whole ("national" socialism plus "international" socialism), it turns out that "socialism", far from being a societal benefit, is a disaster far worse than the Black Plague.

You should have put a RED ALERT on this article.

Commie crap, IMO.

Thanks for the reminder, losers.
I have never flown two flags, but it's time.

I also am compiling all the special patriotic songs to play every daylight hour come Wednesday.

Again, thanks for the reminder.

Ya, they really do.

I think the photos were cherry-picked to make the point (that Bush picture may have been from a 911 speech) but the graphic came out during the campaign and after seeing that graphic, I started paying attention to the flag waving at rallies.

Basically, the graphic was right:  Bush rallies had a ton of flags everywhere....Kerry rallies didn't.

Time to post my usual request.

I used to have a bumper flag decal, for years.
About a year ago, someone peeled it off for me.

I have been trying to find a high quality permanent ink non fading replacement ever since.
I can't believe that I can't find one anywhere. One about 3" X 5" or 4" X 6" would be perfect. Yes, I have checked the web about every three months with no success.

If any Freeper knows of a source of these, I will be eternal grateful.

Look for one of those inside-the-glass stickers.

Of course, in Seattle that could mean a broken window.

.

Mark Twain said that those who were qualified to use the phrase ‘we’ included people with tapeworms.

This column is actually the voice of the tapeworm.

I took several courses from this guy in college.

He was almost always stoned when he taught.

Rumors of sleeping with his students were rampant.

He has hated America for a loooooong time, a very sad case of someone who bit the Marxist apple way too deeply........
