Blogging Against the Politics of Fear, Racism, and Republican, Right-Wing Authoritarian Personalities. "You can't not know. You can't not care."
As long as our soldiers are coming home in coffins draped with the 50-star American flag, it is disrespectful to these men and women and the nation that they died to protect to desecrate the flag, or fly an alternate U.S. flag in its place.
What’s the matter, Chuck? Do you hate America and the flag that much, that you’d rather fly a flag spoiled with a tea stain than to respect our flag like our Founders did?
What do you say to the military families whose son, daughter, wife, or husband has made the ultimate sacrifice to protect your right to desecrate our flag? Do you tell them that you are ashamed of what these soldiers died for?
Seriously, you are the same guy that was all over Barack Obama for not wearing a U.S. flag lapel pin?
As 9/12 concluded, we all heard many ways to keep this revolutionary movement going. But I was sitting back thinking there’s one way we can take a daily stand and declare that as for me and my house, we will serve God and the republic as the Founders did.
If that describes you, then I suggest you fly some revolutionary flag in lieu of your 50-star flag over the next year. Post the 13-star Betsy Ross flag, Navy Jack or Gadsden flag (”Don’t Tread on Me”) or any representation that tells the story of Old Glory and makes a stand for our Founders’ vision of America.
Of course, patriots know that the 50-star flag truly represents one nation under God and our Founders’ republic, but modernists simply don’t get it. So what do you say we make a statement by flying a different flag and educate our neighbors when they ask us, “Why are you flying that flag instead of the contemporary Stars and Stripes?” (If you insist on posting a modern USA flag, too, then get one that is tea-stained to show your solidarity with our Founders.)
Chuck Norris - Don’t Tread on Me!
Is your allegiance to Glenn Beck and the GOP, or the United States? Which is it, Chuck? I think if Walker, Texas Ranger, heard about this, he’d kick your ass.
Update: I cross-posted this blog entry on the DailyKos.com as a diary and it achieved “Recommended Diary” status. I had several funny comments, one of which was by TrueBlueMajority who put the recommendations of Chuck Norris into context with this set of verses to be sung to the tune of Tom Petty’s, “Free Fallin’”:
he’s a birther
hates Obama
loves Jesus (well he claims that he does)
he’s a short guy, under five seven
not the big man he wishes he washe’s a long way from being a Ranger
just a big mouth, with no right to brag
he’s a bad boy, for stirring up the wingnuts
he’s a bad boy for staining our flagyes he’s Teeeee, Tea-Baggin!
yes he’s Teeeee, Tea-Baggin!
In case you missed the video of Tom Petty’s “Free Fallin’”,(or weren’t born then), here’s the video from You Tube:
