Poll question: I'm torn. Should I destroy all my red shirts? |
|
I am an NC State fan, but I can't stomach red right now.
What to do???

6. Red is a fighting color.... It also symbolizes the blood being spilled in |
|
Iraq.... Put them aside in the back of your closet for now. We'll retake "red" as a symbol... just as we will everything else the "right" has co-opted.

11. "The Red Flag", by Jim Connell: |
|
The people's flag is deepest red, It shrouded oft our martyred dead, And 'ere their limbs grew stiff and cold, Their hearts blood dyed its every fold. Then raise the scarlet standard high. (chorus) Within its shade we'll live and die, Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer, We'll keep the red flag flying here.
Look round, the Frenchman loves its blaze, The sturdy German chants its praise, In Moscow's vaults its hymns are sung Chicago swells the surging throng.
It waved above our infant might, When all ahead seemed dark as night; It witnessed many a deed and vow, We must not change its colour now.
It well recalls the triumphs past, It gives the hope of peace at last; The banner bright, the symbol plain, Of human right and human gain.
It suits today the weak and base, Whose minds are fixed on pelf and place To cringe before the rich man's frown, And haul the sacred emblem down.
With heads uncovered swear we all To bear it onward till we fall; Come dungeons dark or gallows grim, This song shall be our parting hymn.
