What gives? Man these things were popping up like weeds around here a few years back. It was like everyone had one. Is this the death of jingoism?

1. We can hope.....
Being a symbol, the flag can often be used and abused.

3. Abuse?
Some fools abuse our flag by using it while they do not deserve to touch it.That's why it is "rare" nowadays...however we have it on OUR pole !

4. they do not deserve to touch it ... WTF?
We are talking about a made in China piece of dyed fabric here not the Ark of the Covenant for chrissake.

14. Really getting those one liners out fast, it seems.
Can't even bother to make them relate to the OP.

8. The flag is the symbol not the substance of our people
ALL our people, not just the right-wing, no matter how they love to clothe themselves in it.

5. That's REALLY bizarre. Do you live downtown in a city or in the 'burbs?
Were these flagpoles missing from businesses, a school, the P.O., or what??
