prior to 9/11, you would not have seen even half as much flag waving going on here...
But something happened 9/11 that pissed us the fuck off. Whether we be conservative, liberal, communist, black, white, brown, yellow, red, rich or poor, young or old, male or female... We are Americans and furthermore we are Fucking Pissed Off Americans. We will give our country all the support we can, we will give our military all the support we can.
If one of the small ways we can show our support to our country and military is to fly a few more flags so the rest of the world can see a pissed off country full of Nationalistic fervor ready to destroy any one that dares to fuck with us again, then so be it.
just imho (of course)
