Let's wave American flags at our demonstrations.










We are the defenders of the Constitution, the rule of law, due process, and the sanctity of the ballot, et cetera.

It is Donald Trump, The Deplorables, and the Republican party who stand as freedom's enemy, shoulder to shoulder with Vladmir Putin and Russia.

I'll put one back up when the country returns to sanity.

My FIL died right before 9/11. He was a WWII vet, so we felt it was appropriate to fly a flag. Then I kept one up in defiance of the neo-cons. Then, out of pride for the Obama presidency.

Nothing left to fly it for now that the county has gone down the toilet.

and it is everything I hope my friends will not be because I grew up with a flag worshipper.
