Yes, the subject of our flag does rile me up. And I'll tell you why, for Motherland brings up a good piont about my avatar.
Over the years I have seen folks put down the Confederate flag, hang labels and stigmas on it, and generally make it out to be a bad thing. My ancestors died for that flag just has they have for the stars and bars we have now. I wouldn't be surprized if one day they completely outlaw it. Most folks already will tell you they find it offensive.
I see the same thing happening to my American flag these days too. One has to look no further then Arizona to see it. Did anyone catch the video where the Army vet noticed a Mexican flag hanging above the American flag outside a bar in Arizona. Or the Mexican kids waving their flag and stomping on our flag outside of a school in Arizona?
Americans have a bad habit of letting things slide to the point that one day it'll all be taken from us. Then everyone will wonder wtf happened. People, if you truely believe our nation is the best in the world....you have to fight for it to keep it that way. Not let others come in and take the things from us that make us who we are.
