Thanks to Kerry I can keep my American flag on my car...

Right after 9/11 I put a "God Bless America" sticker on my car. It didn't take long for all the flag waving Repubs calling me a traitor and un-American to make me want to rip it off. It became a symbol of Repub sheeple, not the freedom and honor it meant when I first stuck it on.

“And tonight, we have an important message for those who question the patriotism of Americans who offer a better direction for our country. Before wrapping themselves in the flag and shutting their eyes and ears to the truth, they should remember what America is really all about. They should remember the great idea of freedom for which so many have given their lives. Our purpose now is to reclaim democracy itself. We are here to affirm that when Americans stand up and speak their minds and say America can do better, that is not a challenge to patriotism; it is the heart and soul of patriotism.

You see that flag up there. We call her Old Glory. The stars and stripes forever. I fought under that flag, as did so many of you here and all across our country. That flag flew from the gun turret right behind my head. It was shot through and through and tattered, but it never ceased to wave in the wind. It draped the caskets of men I served with and friends I grew up with. For us, that flag is the most powerful symbol of who we are and what we believe in. Our strength. Our diversity. Our love of country. All that makes America both great and good.

That flag doesn't belong to any president. It doesn't belong to any ideology and it doesn't belong to any political party. It belongs to all the American people.”

He was talking directly to me!

1. I think I'll take it back.

I'll get me a flag to go along with my Kerry, DU, and Re-defeat Bush bumperstickers. I believe that's a message worth spreading. :toast:

2. My message with my stickers, which are...

Marines, God Bless America, 2 (for Rusty Wallace), Save America Vote Democratic and Kerry/Edwards is:

Military Christian NASCAR Dads (in my case, Mom) for KERRY!

3. Depending on where you are...

Everybody should be seeing more American flags out now, just depending on what side most of the people in your area are on.

4. Kerry did a great job of reclaiming the flag

...And I think Wes Clark somehow really touched me on this, bringing a patriotic tear to my eye.

6. I took one of the Old Navy flag shirts and added to it with a stencil

and blue marker....


"Our Flag Too, Mr Bush!" The graphic this year was perfect for it. :hi:
