" Jeebuz Christ people it’s only one channel going down.
How many of us here would cry if it was a Dem shutting down Fox? Not many. It’s not like that’s the only station on TV there. "
Maybe you can get a WWII flag and fly that.
Maybe you can put a sign on your lawn that more clearly defines your sentiments. “Support our troops – not the war” or something similar.
Or fly it upside down as a signal of national distress.
You leftwingers and America-haters need to either use the Soviet flag, the islamic flag, or some version of the enemy’s flags we have fought or are fighting now.
Why not be bold? I hate the damn wussiness of the leftist adventurists.
According to that link, such as it is, it’s the only opposition station with a national reach. As opposed to Fox, which is only a small part of the vast right wing media machine which dominates the US.
And what does an argument another message board have to do with the people in this thread anyway ?
:rolleyes: I’m not Soviet, or Communist, or Islamic. Why should I fly a flag for a cause I don’t support ? Or any flag at all ?
And what makes you think that left wingers can’t be flag waving patriots ? I’m not, but plenty are.
And “adventurists” ?
He’s not talking about George Bush, he’s talking about this country. Read the OP again, twice if necessary.
lekatt, it’s bad enough to be that way due to the politician you don’t like being in power. But his utter comtempt for the USA and its people is right there. Of course, on here though, that’s a laudable stance.
When you’re amongst such smart liberals, why not trash the USA to the core?
I would cry, I listen to Fox, the only conservative station I know of besides the fanatics. Hey, I can remember when the news was given without political slants by most all stations. Now stations “manage” the news according to political leanings. I don’t listen to any of them a lot. They lack the morality of good news coverage.
I am not a smart liberal nor a smart conservative. I just go with what’s best for the country as a whole as much as I can. I didn’t vote for George, but I don’t hate him either. I have been a democrat all my life, but I think that is about to change given the actions of democrats lately. The other day I read that “Democratics are like a circular firing squad.” Wonder what that meant.
I voted for Bush twice. The funny thing is, the democrat congress has a worse approval rating than he does
They caved in to him; the right never liked them, and they betrayed the left and center when they did that.
They voted to start the war, cause they knew deep down that it is necessary. Thankfully they aren’t complete fools now, but they do talk like fools often.
Necessary for what ? It is stupid, evil and self destructive. It has massively empowered our enemies, weakened us, and killed plenty of innocent Iraqis.
I’ll play too, why was the war against Iraq “necessary”?
Innocent is very relative in this case.
Again, this is a battle in a much larger war that started on 9/11. You’re probably too blind to understand that though, since 9/11 was just a criminal matter to you. An ‘inconvenience’ as it were.
Please demonstrate the connection between 9/11 and Iraq?
Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, & Saudi Arabia all had more to do with 9/11 then Iraq.
Jim
I agree, they all had a lot of connections.
And what were the Iraqi people - not Saddam, the Iraqi people whom we’ve slaughtered - guilty of ? Not being American ?
Yes; America versus the world. So far the world is winning.
That’s just silly. Criminal and “just an inconvenience” are hardly the same.
Iraqis aren’t being slaughtered. Sure some are killed, but we are doing better in this war of precision attacks than ever.
Screw ‘the world’. Thankfully France lately has turned against ‘The World’ when it comes to this bullshit.
And yes, you consider 9/11 a criminal matter. Too bad you were in there and had to jump out or burn.
Wow, you leave a thread for one night…
I think I’m going to have to agree with a lot of folks here, on reflection. The flag is what it is, and it’s going to be flying proudly, because I am not going to let people like Trotsky here co-opt it for their own incomprehensible positions.
I’m also going to try to track down some unit flags from some of my veteran relatives, because, well, it wouldn’t be there if they hadn’t gone there, in one way or another.
As for anything else, well, I’ll be going to and from my flag-flying house, occasionally with my camo and hunting rifle or airsoft rifles, and probably with some democratic or libertarian campaign signs in my front yard. It’ll be fun to explode heads on both extremes of the political aisle with that image. =P
