the american flag

phil pointed out tonight that any time you see an american flag bumper sticker or decal on a vehicle, you automatically assume the owner must be a republican. how did one party claim ownership of the flag?

    The only problem I have is that there’s been this link fused in my brain that American flags on the car = AMERICA, FUCK YEAH! = NO GODDAMN IMMIGRANTS, SPEAK FUCKING ENGLISH = all those other republican stereotypes.

    I feel bad now. Sort of.

    yeah, judging from what i have seen of the congressional debates so far, i think most republicans would like to distance themselves from the stereotype you just described lavkian.

    think HARD
    about what FLAGS represent
    (i dont even need to discuss particular flavors of human frivolity..i.e. USA)
    and
    then
    THINK whether or not
    YOU need to
    DEMARCATE yourself as SEPARATE
    to feel you HAVE an identity

    but
    i have ALWAYS regarded
    “geo-physical” pride
    displayed by humans
    with the curiosity of an ALIEN VISITOR

    did i mention…

    FUCK USC
    BRUINS BRUINS BRUINS
    RAH RAH RAH

    all 3 houses are republican, america is wallowing in its sole superpower status – could you make the assumption that by being proud of america enough to wave that flag declares you as anything other than republican?

    right now, america is doing some evil, smelly shit. and it’s not that republicans have claimed the flag. it’s that americans have claimed smelly republicanism.
