You PAID to see a show in America that had American flags and American songs? Horrors! I don't know how you survived!

3. Excessive patriotic displays
Are one of the hallmarks of fascist nations and other oppressive societies.

4. Oh for God's sake
Pick your battles, people. You can't walk around being perpetually offended. Especially if you pay to watch a bunch of horses running around in circles. Jesus Christ.

This should be interesting.

:popcorn:

Some nights I go to GD and just post that randomly. It's really all I can say any more. It's entirely too painful if I try to say anything else. Even seemingly innocuous comments like "the sky is up," seem to cause such derision and such scorn. I'd rather be a genuine smart ass. What can I say? I know my strengths.

13. Boy, someone got really serious about it: Post # 42
"We must not cede patriotism to conservatives, lest we continually be marginalized ... Obama has ceded the flag, and we're ceding the national anthem and traditional patriotic songs. If WE believe the American flag and national anthem are inherently conservative ... will it be long before the majority of the public agrees? I'm not sure liberalism can be a viable ideology if we grant conservatives the argument that they're the only true patriots."

14. No kidding!!!
I don't excited over much any more, but that one had me barfing on my keyboard. What a line of circular, going nowhere reasoning.

I happen to dislike intensely all the jingoistic masturbation going on today. It reminds me too much of Germany during the rise of Hitler's party.

Bread and circuses. Bread and circuses. x(
