Would you feel comfortable sharing your zip code?

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.

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

I find them mawkish and sententious.

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.

yep I know I shouldn't assume it -- but I do.

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.

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

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. these days, yes. sorry.

No
