"Phoney Patriots"

Libs Suddenly Find Themselves Defending the Flag
Figures. It wasn't that long ago that the American Left was burning (http://www.onlineathens.com/stories/093001/new_0930010074.shtml) and crapping (http://michellemalkin.com/2007/03/23/walden-pond-fifth-avenue-styleplus-defecating-on-an-american-flag/) on the flag.
Suddenly, all of that has changed.

Protesters watch an American flag burn during demonstrations in Washington, D.C. (Athens Online (http://www.onlineathens.com/stories/093001/new_0930010074.shtml))

Veteran Lou Schrader of Las Cruces, New Mexico flew his flag upside down on Wednesday in protest of Barack Obama winning the presidency.

This alarmed his liberal neighbors.
The Sun-News (http://www.lcsun-news.com/ci_10920893) reported:


"Now that there's an African-American president, he's protesting the U.S., and I think it's funny because, if you love your country, you love it no matter what."

Kollaros said he backs freedom of speech, but flying the flag upside-down shouldn't be done lightly because it could send the wrong message.

"We've got to be careful about how we do that, because we don't want to offend people," he said.

Robert Pritchet, 30, who described himself as "open-minded," said he's personally not offended by the upside-down flag, but it opens up the door for other people, especially veterans, to be.

"I think he could have done something different," he said. "That could have been offensive; that's the symbol of the United States."
My how times have changed.

They're even wearing red, white and blue in Seattle (http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/194810.php) again.

Cheer up Frank. Your side lost, try not to be a sore loser.

And stop being so negative please.

Blues were equally convinced you were an antipatriot, there's plenty of accusations to go around. But, if all you want to do is spread poison, I'll end up banning you unilaterally for a few days to cool things down.

Frankg knows exactly what phony patriots look like,
he stares at one in the mirror every morning.

Again i repeat myself.
The flag is a rag. A symbolic rag.

What matters is our values, our constitution, our laws & our liberty.

An upsidedown flag is freedom of speech IMO.

But the people doing this were never American patriots in the first place anyway,
so when they do it it has very little meaning anyway.
Why should we expect civilized behavior from animals anyway?

You see there is a difference between "Sunshine patriots" and true Patriots. True patriots see when their country is wrong and say something. There is also a difference between a patriot and a party ideologue. If you worship the man or party more than your country. You are not a patriot.

I hate bush, he ruined this country quicker than any man in history. Hating him is not hating my country. It is loving my country. If you can't see that, you are an ideologue.

Negativity Bill ?


Isn't that what you people called "patriotic dissent" for the last eight years.

Sure frank, criticizing a war is the same as criticizing flag vandalism.

[disrupter]

Frankg is a patriot to right wing police states & not to the democratic USA.

long may it endure.

Frankg is a patriot to his hallucinations,
a danger to himself & others.
