I love my country. The flag, I'm just ambivalent about. Seeing tons of flags flying doesn't stir me to patriotism, and seeing them missing doesn't make me feel any less love for the USA. I don't need a flag of ANY kind to love America.

Aren’t you the same person who went off on another thread about a neighbor who flew his flag upside down?!? If the flag means nothing to you, it’s just a piece of cloth, why would you care which way you neighbor oriented his piece of cloth?!? It’s one thing to disagree with someone else who posts on TOTV, but when you start disagreeing with yourself - you’re in real trouble…
