Your lengthy post seeking to raise your image from the dirt where you tossed it tells many readers just the sort of preoccupation which directs your attention. By trying to wrap your appeal in the honor of those who have served in so many ways, as if you are the arbiter of which is patriotic and when use of the flag to signal is acceptable TO YOU, well, you are showing yourself to be detritus.
BTW, what I have done for our returning troops is none of your business, nor what cost I've paid. Trott your little self pony on some other turf, poster.
Boy, you have gumption.
No, you are the one with a problem when you think that anyone who thinks it is disrespectful to display the flag in such a manner is deserving of personal insult. I have been circumspect up until now, I believe people try to protest in any way they can, and that is their business. The fact that I disagree with you hurts your itty-bitty feelings, and you resort to name calling because you can’t back up your position intellectually. It is vacuous, but it is all you know, isn’t it?
Well too damned bad. Sorry to be the adult to tell you this. Grow up and strap on a pair, because you sure sound like you need them.
I understand your kind all too well. You ARE what Thomas Paine referred to as a “summer soldier and the sunshine patriot”. I think now, however, YOUR type are referred to as “Keyboard Warriors”. Your idea of effective protest is turning the American Flag upside down and and flying it at half staff. Ooooohhh. Great Idea, MGHinTn. That will get their attention, no doubt. They will be trembling in their shoes at that one. I can just hear them now...
RAHM: “Hey...we have people like MGHinTn out there flying his flag upside down at half-staff. I think we should roll back our efforts to implement nationalized. I didn’t realize the effect our policies were having until I began to see those flags.”
OBAMA: “Yeah. I was completely clueless. I had no idea we were going against the will of the American people. We better get in line, and tell Nancy and Harry to do the same.”
You haven’t done squat but sit in front of your keyboard and pound out meaningless pap, have you? Right. You haven’t. Have you?
