[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't use the word tacky, but I think you are right to recognize that some folks will perceive a conservative political message. Unfortunately the company you keep among other flag bearers includes some awful people who use the flag as a weapon to brandish an aggressive, racist, misogynist, xenophobic agenda. Especially in this area, some people may read that signal. I wouldn't do it.[/quote]

This is complete bullshit.  This perception that liberals aren't patriotic and see the flag as something offensive (or "tacky" - WTF?) is a made-up fever dram of the Fox News crowd, fanned by trolls who perceive some advantage in perpetuating divisions in America.  I am as liberal as anyone, and more liberal than most, my ancestors consist both of recent immigrants and Revolutionary War soldiers, and I refufe to cede *my* country to the right wing.  Being patriotic doesn't require one to turn off his or her brain, and blindly declaring that everything the US does is great is the opposite of patriotism.

And I can't believe I got sucked into this obvious troll thread.  [/quote]
