Where Have All The Flags Gone?
I've seen all of two flags flying in my neighborhood. Could it be that Americans are
enabling the terraists by not flying their flags today? That's a pretty big change from
5 years ago.

1. Exactly what I was thinking
On my way to work today, having anticipated some form of the nationalistic fervor of 5 years ago, I was relieved by the absence of car flags. I did not see one in my 20 mile trek. I hope it's the same this afternoon. Maybe more people than we think have wised up.

2. I want to know? Where has my beloved Country Gone?
What our founding fathers feared most has come to fruition.

3. Perhaps...
....no one feels particularly gung-ho or patriotic on the 5th anniversary of what was either treason or the worst ever failure of a presidential administration?

5. I plan on flying mine
when the constitution and Bill of Rights are reinstituted. Maybe more people think like me now.

6. I drove down a winding old highway in South Mississippi on Saturday
and saw many flags flying on houses and trailors and everyone of them should be delivered to the America Legion for destruction. They are torn and tattered just like the integrity of bush and his supporters.

8. There's a "patriotic" spam email going around,
exhorting us all to fly the flag today. Guess many of us are too ashamed to do it.

9. Sorry, I completely forgot to put my flag out today.
This day's staged activities for the Bushies is so sickening and all setup for promoting the Repugs in the fall election.

It is a day for * to rerun over and over again FEAR and TERRORISM. He is the terrorist but the sheep are like putty in his hands. They are falling for it again as if it happened yesterday.

Why was Thatcher here? Why all the pomp and circumstances for Cheney, Monkey Face and Thatcher at the White House?

15. Maybe the current oil crisis has delayed shipments of Old Glory
from the Chinese prison camps where they are manufactured.

18. I believe that Americans are not sure what to think of their nation ??
Can they be pride of her or not ? * and his admin have stolen so much from us and have only given us uncertainty in its place. Are we who we say we are ? Do we support our rule of law ? I believe we question even ourselves in times like these, why did I listen to them ? What can be done now ? The list goes on....

19. I Would Fly the Flag, But Then It Would Leave Some Poor Republican Naked
The Republicans all wrap themselves in the flag.
If I were to fly the Flag, it would leave some poor Republican naked.
