This Viet Cong flag must offend you, too

And they're blocking the sidewalks.

Where are the thought police? It's an outrage!!!

Here they are. They got their clubs, why aren't they beating some American's head in????

Why aren't those cops writing tickets and hauling them a way? Some people need to get through to K-Mart or to a job they loathe.

I didn't realize there were so many thought policepersons among us. marble falls Jun 2024 #27

Right. The UN says different. ... marble falls Jun 2024 #38

They are not opposing an unjust draft. These idiots are protesting a memorial for Israeli dead. SunSeeker Jun 2024 #44

Which is worse, being wrapped in a flag or being wrapped around it? It's a flag. marble falls Jun 2024 #43

I don't get your metaphor or how it relates to my question. Beastly Boy Jun 2024 #45
