Lately, I have contemplating the meaning of flying the American flag. I consider myself a patriot, but as I travel the country, I discern that in 2022 flying the American flag is synonymous with being a MAGA American.
Greg, Just what do you believe the principles of "MAGA" are? Because I frankly don't see a conflict in flying the American flag and the connection to those principles. What I do find interesting is some people's endless need and desire to tear down or replace the sacred symbols of our Country and replace them with symbols of every avant-garde interest and philosophy under the sun. You call yourself a "patriot". Perhaps you need to do some deep-diving research into our flag, what it means, why it matters, and the scores of sacrifices made to fly and protect it. Your new flag extolling the "virtues" of the latest of a plethora of international flags would just be another diminishing of our great Country and a further surrendering to a One World Order. Unless of course, you are one of those who are ashamed of our flag and have twisted its meaning into some kind of gross symbol of oppression. Maybe you can also define what a “Patriot” is too.
I am not a citizen of the earth. I am a proud citizen of the USA. I've traveled the globe. We are better than almost all other countries in most respects. I knew the writer was from Jackson before I got to his signature. Jackson has some of the wealthiest housing stock in NH. If you want to save the world, flying a flag isn't going to do it. Try downsizing your huge home, cutting your 'carbon footprint', and ride a bike to dinner and shopping in Conway.
Oh, you mean Fantasy Island where everyone and everything you need seems to be produced and distributed "equally"? Were Doctors and Engineers and Farmworkers and Truck Drivers are all treated the same? Where everyone lives in the same housing unit and drives the same vehicle? Where politicians are treated the same as everyone else?
