Plenty of us do both, whats it matter if I fly a flag?

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

(yes, I know I left out the words "under God", keep reading)

Many people say it's just a piece of cloth, what's the big deal?
Well, it is a big deal, at least to me, because of the words in the Pledge of Allegiance above: "and to the Republic for which it stands". The flag is a symbol of our Constitutional Republic, of the values which ALL American citizens and those who desire to become American citizens should aspire to: "one Nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
When Americans, and those desiring to be Americans, look at the flag they should see the symbol of a nation that offers liberty and justice for all peoples who come together for a common cause.

We live in a time when it has become PC to put our country down. Our very own Muslim-in-Chief goes out of his way to apologize to the world for American greatness and do everything in his power to tear the country apart. Of course, this sets the stage for his millions of sycophants to follow suit, mostly for their own personal gain.

What we need is more flag waving patriots, not fewer. We need to stay "in their face" just as they do to us for every stupid libtard idea that comes down the pike.

In the weeks following 911, this country came together as a nation for the first time since WWII. However, it didn't last long. The fact that we as a country elected not once but twice, a person that does not care about anything except his own personnel gain and how low he can take us, tells me we need more flag waving of the American flag and less of the PC flags that have been waving far too long.
