Yeesh,
I go away from AR15.com 3 months and find that the world still sucks and I need to stick around here more often.
With the scumbag soccer-mom anti-pledge/anthem yuppie larvae breeders controlling our schools' ability to excercise freedom of speech and assembly to recite our nation's heritage.... well, I'm pissed!
Everywhere, you have people like "US" who know patriotism, live it, and share it. We walk around looking at all these clueless sheep out there that have nothing better to do than to take up a cause (granted, it is the mother of all worthy causes...) and then fade out when it becomes a passing fad.
I know, there are some out there that put flags in the windows of thier homes and cars that are real patriots and all. But there are folks out there that lit candles right after the 11th for that National Day of Mourning and probably don't even know why they did it anymore.
I heard a comment the other day. "We should slowly insulate and distract our children from dwelling on the events of the 11th..." What! I realize there is a reason to protect the kids mental health by not letting them watch CNN like the sunday morning cartoons, but damn, they will forget this whole incident like some discarded broken toy with that attitude taken too far.
It's a sin the way the country has forgotten the reasons we fly those colors, the people who died for those colors, and the millions that dream to have the right to one day have the freedom to go with that flag. This is a country, that up until the 11th, started to look funny at folks who displayed the flag. They regarded it as a sentimental decoration of war times past and the Fouth of July.
How long is it until the new "armchair patriots" out there decide to take the tattered flags off of thier cars, and slip into the foggy care-free ignorant bliss they new before the 11th?
