Taking back patriotism, taking back the flag
Advertisements [?]
As I've been scraping old paint off the garage, I've been doing a lot of thinking about how the anti-war camp in Crawford has been labeled "patriotic" by some media outlets.

We need to take back our language, as we take back our country. Everytime we describe Camp Casey we need to use the words, "the patriotic camp supporting American Gold Star Mother, Cindy Sheehan...." We need to use the words patriotic, american, freedom as often as we can. The media won't do this for us, like they do for the pro-war foces, but if every time we talk to the media, write a letter to the editor, post on a blog, we use these words to describe the patriotic efforts of Cindy and others, we can make a difference...and we'll be telling the truth.
