Sacred Relics, or distractions?

Oi, I didn't ever say that I dont feel a burst of pride for being American in certain situations. After 9/11, (although I was only 11) I was just as proud of my flag as everyone else. And I'm happy to fly one in my porch. That's fine, I know my Rich feels that way about his Union Jack.

I'm talking about when it crosses the line. I mean, kissing the flag if it touches the ground? SCaring little kids who have to raise the flag to death by telling them they'll go to hell if they drop it?

I wasnt comparing any of you to facists at all, not for a second. I merely assumed that by your confidence in the army, and your obvious love of the navy, that you'd all be more patriotic then me, a freaking hippie.

Peace
