Magnified by the media and politicians sucking for votes...hence validating special interest and and radical minority groups....undeservedly!!!!!

You seem to be a pleasant person...

That involves wearing an actual flag. Not something patterned after the flag...

You might consider the cost involved in changing all US flags across our country . Who will pay for that . If you don’t pay tribute to our current flag it’s a free country .
I’m a veteran and feel very different than you . I don’t see this ever happening anyway .

Changing the flag will NOT stop the fact that the US has the greatest WEALTH DISPARITIES in the 1st world. It will NOT get the 40% unvaccinated to change their pea brains. It will NOT restore a true middle class to the US. It will not help the US to get serious about Global Warming. It will NOT get a needed voting rights bill passed. So basically, a NEW FLAG won't solve and major or even minor problems. It does let the offended people vent a bunch.

OK, I'll take your bait (again(when will I learn)).

I'll accept your "fact" that the US has the greatest wealth disparity in the world (although I'd like to see a citation, since Saudi Arabia and Brunei should be in the running)

SO WHAT?

All that means is that some people are more talented than others, some are more intelligent than others, some worked harder than others, some were very lucky and some had the right parents. Others sat on their fat arses and collected welfare checks, food stamps and popped out babies from multiple different fathers

again, SO WHAT???

It's only communists and socialists that think this disparity should be artificial flattened out by government, and we all know how well that has been working out.

Lol... I am, I was just responding to the original posters...did you see that...I think you sent it to wrong poster 😁

How did she mistreat you? She makes a suggestion and that makes her a dumb Bimbo?
No, not a delicate snowflake...just call errors out when they should be

HIS image does appear on a lot of flags, and sold everywhere. BUT, that is not offensive, you see.

You need to work on your reading comprehension, I never stated she mistreated me. I said she was spreading malice.

Nice to hear from you, Mr. Goofey Eagles. I am also a fan of capitalism. But, the US has changed gradually and then MORE quickly from about 1975 until today. We had less population, crime, immigration, and we had a VERY STABLE middle class. We were in the top 10 of countries for upward mobility and quality of life. people were living longer each generation (not today). Average wages were staying ahead of inflation. From 1975 until just this year average wages with respect to inflation or buying power DECREASED. The middle class was screwed - so much so that today we have VIRTUALLY NO middle class. Just the uber-rich and the uber-poor. And I mentioned the WEALTH DISPARITY. Now a rich person MIGHT (?) NOT MIND being at the top of the totem pole. But, social instability could hurt them also. One can imagine the social instability in France just before the French Revolution and the guillotine! People in 1975 IMAGINED that each next generation would be better off than the current. That IS NOT the case today! We are now around 30th in qualities like upward mobility worldwide and general quality of life. Even the UK is around 11th in upward mobility. The US cannot continue much longer with a society consisting of Uber-rich and uber-poor only. We no longer have real active capitalism - now we have Corporate and elitist Socialism. And it is firmly etched into law!!!!!!!!!

I guess I don't get out enough, I haven't seen these flags. Even if there are flags with HIS face???, who's face? They aren't the official flag of the country now are they?

Sorry poster, I read just fine...you started out basically screaming she was a dumb Bimbo...and I believe you were thinking she wasn't nice.. therefore I stated you felt mistreated (obvious assumption)
I also assume you might be a vet, or in the services previously....but that does not make it your flag to say to someone,who has an opinion on it, is a dumb Bimbo. Who the heck knows, maybe colorful stars might be nice...show diversity. Just a thought.

Well, the truth is that we DO have a thriving middle class. It may have shrunk a bit, but this is nothing at all like the dichotomy that preceded the French and Russian revolutions. Not even close. Heck, our welfare recipients have a higher standard of living than most countries. If you think there is no middle class, just look at 130,000 of your neighbors here in TV. Do you classify them all as either "uber-rich" or "uber-poor".
The only reason life expectancy is shorter (by a month or two) is the higher rate of infant mortality, which has to do with how we count infant deaths as opposed to the rest of the world. And infant mortality is higher due to increased drugs and drinking by pregnant women.

PS: Thanks again for the personal insult, I really appreciate it

1. I have seen them in two places. As part of a golf cart parade in the last weeks. And, at a drinking place in Brownwood.

2. Not offensive, but have you read, of course you have, so do you recall the various attacks on uses of the flag. I recall them, to which I responded about some uses by the tea party and being critiqued for that. I find all of it a misuse of the flag, and disrespectful.

Point I am making is the hypocrisy.....HIS followers are quick to critique, but find HIS image on the flag on the back of a golf cart just fine.
