In all my years as a citizen and homeowner, I never felt moved to fly the flag on holidays until the election of President Obama. I've been flying it for the past 8 years.
I'll probably never fly it again after Monday.

(288 posts)Don't give up the thing that is yours-- that is ours. Don't give it away to them. That is your flag. It stands for freedom, liberty, democracy, and justice for all. We're farther down that road than we were 200 years, 100 years, 50 -- even 10 years ago. We will get there.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
