Whats with this whole cult of the flag thing?

I'm surprised. You don't feel anything when the flag of your nation is displayed? I mean if you don't, you don't.... :hmm:
But it's not a "cult" thing... It's national pride in what the standard of our nation stands for (despite an on-going level of incompetent bureaucratic stupidity). All the things that Americans hold dear and close to their hearts are in the Flag.
When I was growing up in the '60s we placed our hands over our hearts and recited our National Anthem, re-affirming daily our committment to our ideals and our country. Everytime I see our Flag, I'm reminded of those committments...
Apathy? I believe that most younger Americans basically care less whether it's Old Glory waving in the breeze or some other flag. We have a REAL problem with illegal aliens from Mexico in this country and having the flag of Mexico flying either above the Stars and Stripes, or in it's place, is not acceptable.
I'm perfectly pleased to see someone tear down a standard that shouldn't be "up the flagpole" in the first place...
