Recession reaches Old Glory: fewer buildings, fewer flagpoles -...

You can't put a price on patriotism, but sales of American flags haven't been flying so high lately thanks to the recession.

the Obama Depression - and everything he's doing is making it worse.

It's due to the "Rednecks" wrapping themselves in it. They've dirtied the flag! Harley Riders and Republicans......I mean, come on, just look at their anti-government views....they're no patriots! The Native American is!

There's nothing patriotic about the government! Who do you think sold out the Native Americans?

Subheading: Liberals Hold Street Dances, Yellow-Ribbon Bonfires

[Bob the Bilderberg]

With George Bush gone I suppose liberals feel they can fly their flag again. Except most never owned one anyway.

Mine's flying this morning because it's not about the government, it's about the nation which is not the same thing.

Actually, you have it backwards. The federal government, back in the day, did its best to stand between the Indians and the land-hungry immigrant masses who wanted their land. Were it not for the federal government back then, there would be no Indian reservation lands today. None.

You people need to crack a history book now and then.(And, no, I do not mean a school textbook -- unless you LIKE propaganda) Try this one: "The Great Father: The United States Government and the American Indians" by Francis Paul Prucha. It will help you with your PC-spoon-fed preconceptions.

CHANGE from a recession to a DEPRESSION

YES WE CAN continue to loose all our jobs in America, the minnow along the California border just cost 80,000 farmers a job. Again the endangered spieces is a higher priority than the People.

This Country is Messed up PEOPLE
Can we say DEPRESSION? YES WE CAN.

Dont look back on the past, look at the future, something we can have a voice and possibly a chance to change.

King said sales were strong for about a year after 9/11. "But then they didn't replace them," she said. "People just forgot about their flags. We've got a bunch of part-time patriots, I'll tell you that."

What?!?

How many flags are people supposed to buy exactly? I have one that is in great shape and has stayed that way since before September 11, 2001. Now I need to go buy one why? Because this lady needs a job. Boo hoo! I don't think people are part-time patriots, they just aren't needing to buy new flags. What an absurd statement.

we all know Macalester College can't afford a US flag.

It is probably more like, no one has a need to become American. They can come here and do exactly as they did in their own Counties. They can even fly their own Countries flags...yet demand all the rights our constitution gives them, rights they could only dream about when they were in their home Counties. Rights of which one should be grateful for, yet they spit on our traditions and beliefs...I am so discussed. I fly my flag - and yes maybe it is time to replace my old one, this time I will get a larger one....because I still believe this is the greatest Country anyone could ever have the opportunity to live in.
