Look at this photo

First let me say the yard sign in front of this house has been there since the 2004 election. I travel past this house pretty much every day because my kids are employed just around the corner. During inclement weather and snowstorms it comes in but immediately following the storm it goes right back up

This is a town in Massachusetts;Kerry carried our community by 600 votes.

The "extra"flag was added this week


For those that can't read the sign well it says:
Support President Bush
and our troops

I just wanted to say I have never seen a foreign flag flying from anyone's home before.

1. Based on spending, Israel is the fifty-first state...

They are our surrogate army in the Middle East.

2. Around St. Patrick's Day, I see lots of Irish flags on people's houses.

A friend's late father flew both the American and the Irish flags every day.

During the World Cup, I saw several Italian flags. And just before the start of the Iraq invasion, someone in my neighborhood was flying a French flag.

8. My Irish Flag fly while my American flag is upside down

3. The flag's a good idea. I might do it. Not the sign, though.

"I just wanted to say I have never seen a foreign flag flying from anyone's home before."

I have, but they're Mexican.

4. people think it's patriotic

they think the U.S. and Israel are these wonderful allies against an evil scourge of terrorism

What can you do

14. have you taken a survey?

if not you have no idea what other people think. but you could be correct with your statement. although i don't believe we should have set foot in iran the US, israel as well as other countries are on the frontlines to eradicate terrorists. and this is good news.

5. You have never seen a foreign flag fly from someone's home?

Come down to Florida. You will see everything from the Jewish flag, to the Confederate flag, the Mexican flag, and the Cuban flag.... All flying from people's homes. And the flag you see depends on what neighborhood you are in.

9. I have never seen a flag representing a different nation flying in my

hometown

Where I live people pretty much stick to the American flag and maybe a "Welcome" flags that were so popular a while back

I can honestly say I have never seen a foreign flag flying in my hometown

15. You're in Massachusetts

and you've never seen an Italian or Irish flag on a house?

I live in Boston, and I see them all the time in Southie and the North End.

20. Not in Hingham- just read Brian McGrory in the Globe

I see Harvard flags flying according to him (they are really Hingham High School flags which resemble Harvard flags)

I can honestly say I have never seen an Irish flag flying in Hingham

[evlbstrd]

6. I flew an Irish flag until somebody stole it.

I have a new one, but haven't put it out yet.

[lonestarnot]

7. And your point would be?

The person is a "moran?"

[globalvillage]

10. I prefer my neighbors' sign.

This house is a few miles from me, I pass it occasionally. The sign went up when the Al Gore sign came down. And I'm pretty certain this one will stay up until "Insert Dem Name Here for President 2008" replaces it.
Or, if we're lucky, they'll just keep this one.

:-)

I don't know who lives here, but I like them.

18. Change that one to Veterans For Kerry you would have mine

I still have my hat pin and veterans for Kerry buttons

[adriennui]

11. well, you just don't live in NYC

on houses and cars i see flags of all different countries, but they differ with your photo in that they don't bother with the american flag.
don't get your panties in a wad. it's private property and the house looks well maintained. property values will not decrease.

16. What is jarring to me is that they have bought so clearly into the

neo-con PNAC argument

[KyuzoGator]

12. Pretty sad that they support Bush before the troops, huh? nt

[merbex]

17. That has always been my thought as I drive by daily

It really is all about Bush first -troops distant second

[orleans]

13. i saw a bumper sticker on a van being driven by some old fuck

that said "god bless america and president bush"

--saw it on monday

never saw one like that before. i had to turn and look to see who the hell was driving that piece of bullshit around. white, over seventy, balding. (no offense to white, balding, over seventy year olds--only to white balding over seventy year old republican suck up pukes that appear to have a problem separating their mouths from bush's .... you know)

19. He probely has Alzheimer's.

[GrantDem]

22. I seen a bumper sticker that said

"God still speaks through Bushes"

I could only shake my head in disbelief.

[GrantDem]

21. I seen one --->>>

There is a house that we pass when we go up to Chicago. It has had an Israeli flag for years.

[Redstone]

23. Oyr Brazilian friends do it. What's the big fucking deal?

Or is your point just that if you support Israel, you must be some kind of thuggish Republican?

Redstone

[adriennui]

24. you've figured out

redstone's problem.:toast:

[Redstone]

25. Huh? I liked your reply upthread, but I don't understand this one.

Clarification, please? You know how easily I get confused.

Redstone

26. OH MY GOD!

Why, someone flying a flag that isn't a Merkin Flag.. in Merka!

Next thing you know, they'll try to sing the National Anthem- In Hebrew!

Get 'em!

Oh. Yeah. :sarcasm:
