Patriotism is not a political party
Political leanings do not determine patriotism.

I stand corrected.
Hitler was a patriot to his Germany, as was Stalin to his Russia. |

Tie that represents the flag = ok.
Flag that you turned into a tie = not ok. I hope this has been informative. According to the Flag Code, the words "flag, standard, colors, or ensign", include any flag, standard, colors, ensign, or any picture or representation of either, or of any part or parts of either, made of any substance or represented on any substance, of any size evidently purporting to be either of said flag, standard, colors, or ensign of the United States of America or a picture or a representation of either, upon which shall be shown the colors, the stars and the stripes, in any number of either thereof, or of any part or parts of either, by which the average person seeing the same without deliberation may believe the same to represent the flag, colors, standard, or ensign of the United States of America. |

Just to let you know, comments like that CAN get you arrested, whether you think it's "free speech" or not. I'd be REAL CAREFUL posting something like that for everyone to see. One of my good friends was investigated for saying something on the phone......and did not expect the interest his statements generated.............

worried about a tie, some do not even iron their shirts. wear the uniform 100% or don't wear it at all!!!
|
Wearing the american flag as an article of clothing (of any kind) is like the white trash uniform.

Don't like the tie? Don't look at it........... And then I noticed how much your AVATAR looks like one of the biggest tyrants the world has ever known..........what a coincidence........ And, by the way, the words under God were not added until 1954 so that is not a big part of our history as a nation. |

Yeah, Right On!
Only Communist liberal Fashists would find wearing the flag design in any form anything but a statement of pure patriotism... |

Francis Bellamy (1855 - 1931), a Baptist minister, wrote the original Pledge in August 1892. He was a Christian Socialist. In his Pledge, he is expressing the ideas of his first cousin, Edward Bellamy, author of the American socialist utopian novels, Looking Backward (1888) and Equality (1897).
The words "under God" were added in 1954 by then President Eisenhower, who stated at the time, "In this way we are reaffirming the transcendence of religious faith in America's heritage and future; in this way we shall constantly strengthen those spiritual weapons which forever will be our country's most powerful resource in peace and war." It is a pledge written by a religious socialist and then altered by the guy who help establish and coin the phrase military industrial complex. Learn your history clones. |

Well I'm sorry, but if I had a gun and saw Osama, I'd shoot him.
Oh also, I love my F-150. I love the freedom I have to drive it. Noone will ever tell me what I can or cannot drive. Nor should they. |
only problem with all that is we are all from overseas at some point, unless ur a native american !
|
Even "Native Americans" are from overseas at some point, so don't start with that argument.
They have sovereignty over their tribal lands and they can do as they choose on them, DC exercises sovereignty over the remainder. @Zapata I didn't realize Geri Haliwell was a British Fascist, good to know. Patriotic or not, you breathe intolerance and stupidity. |

Your telling me that saying that you want to shoot an enemy of the state who is responsible for thousands of Americans deaths could get you arrested? Must be a new Obama administration thing cause didn't GW say basically the same thing about Osama Bin Laden "Wanted dead or alive"? :confused:

After reading your post, I wanted to put a cigarette out in your face, rather than thank you for your valuable and informative post.:rolleyes: Is this what you wanted? |
Alrighty then......a thread about wearing an American tie has led down the path of politics and religion and which party is patriotic and which is communist. Even informative posts end with insults at the general forum population. Nice job APC. Thread closed.
