Do you assume homes with American Flags are republicans?

[Anonymous]

Yes. I also assume that the houses that have those "Home of the Free Because of the Brave" and "All Gave Some--Some Gave All" signs are Republicans as well.

Do you disagree with, or dislike the sentiment of those?

I find them mawkish and sententious.

YES. these days, yes. sorry.

No. I don’t display one, but my parents (lifelong Democrats) are immigrants and have displayed theirs since they were naturalized. I think it’s nice.

Yes. In our very liberal neighborhood, we are the only one who hang the flag for Independence day and Memorial day. We are Republican.

Well, the problem is that for a lot of people in America, those values are not afforded to them. Maybe you look at a flag as a symbol of hope for change, but I see a flag as pride of a country the way it is. I am not proud of America. I wish I was, but I'm not.

And you don't need to be depressed about it. America has a long tradition of getting mad at the government and demanding better.

Then I'd love to know what you think of the "In this house..." signs.

Oh they’re 100% acceptable, obvi. Not sententious AT ALL.

I refuse to cede that.

I also refuse to cede that. I'll add that I'm tired of my twitter-sheeple 'progressive' Dem white friends in the DC area that act aggrieved by displaying the US flag.
