Darn good questions!

American patriotism is offensive to them.

I noticed that Google, which celebrates everything from Chinese New Year to Dennis Gabor’s birthday by altering their logo, managed to skip Flag Day.

Unfortunately, there are more than a few Freepers who think it is their right to publicly humiliate Old Glory.

“...“Yes, it is just a piece of cloth,” Henderson later reflected. “But what it represents are the lives of thousands of Americans who have given everything for this nation – who ask nothing in return but felt an obligation of duty to their country.”...”

Choked up beyond words...choked up, and raging...

Come November...every AMERICAN needs to shout it loud - “I WANT MY DAMN COUNTRY BACK...”

For the sake of all those boys...fathers, sons, brothers, uncles...Americans all...loved and beloved by their families, and who never came back to their homes. God, it kills me...

RE “...American patriotism is offensive to them.....”

I’ll tell you what’s offensive, my good brother...

-What’s offensive is watching this amatuer assclown marxist reject bowing and scraping in front of every dictator, thug, and foreign scumbag he comes in contact with, with an American flag near him...

-What’s offensive is hearing this amateur assclown marxist apologizing, APOLOGIZING!!!!, for American actions around the world - in places where those AMERICAN BOYS lying under those stones laid down their lives for that flag and what it represents...

-What’s offensive is sitting here, day after day, watching the Dems and their RINO allies dismantle piece by piece all that we hold sacred...spitting on us...laughing at our anger and frustration...and plotting ways to bend and twist the law to keep them in power in perpetuity...

That’s pretty damned offensive too.

Shove, you are so spot-on; Patriotism IS offensive to them because the VERY LAST thing they want is a resurgence of American Pride, American Nationalism, and American Exceptionalism. They’ve spent the last few decades undermining and sabotaging and subverting every damned institution we have.

But they will fail. For the record: as long as ONE of US feels, remembers, and keeps that flag and what it stand for close, THEY LOSE...

As long as ONE of us picks up and holds that torch, THEY lose.

Because someone else will see it, and feel it, and ask the question “What does it mean to be an American?” And we will answer them.

And that small victory for us is a HUGE loss to them.

One citizen at a time. One Rifleman at a time.

One AMERICAN at a time.

It doesn’t seem that many here celebrate or honor our flag, does it?
