ARGGGGH! I was just sent a picture of a truck covered in US flags
with a huge sign that says: "If my flags offend you, call 1-800-LEAVE THE USA"

Now to get in the Lotus position and repeat Kerry's mantra:

“And tonight, we have an important message for those who question the patriotism of Americans who offer a better direction for our country. Before wrapping themselves in the flag and shutting their eyes and ears to the truth, they should remember what America is really all about. They should remember the great idea of freedom for which so many have given their lives. Our purpose now is to reclaim democracy itself. We are here to affirm that when Americans stand up and speak their minds and say America can do better, that is not a challenge to patriotism; it is the heart and soul of patriotism.

You see that flag up there. We call her Old Glory. The stars and stripes forever. I fought under that flag, as did so many of you here and all across our country. That flag flew from the gun turret right behind my head. It was shot through and through and tattered, but it never ceased to wave in the wind. It draped the caskets of men I served with and friends I grew up with. For us, that flag is the most powerful symbol of who we are and what we believe in. Our strength. Our diversity. Our love of country. All that makes America both great and good.

That flag doesn't belong to any president. It doesn't belong to any ideology and it doesn't belong to any political party. It belongs to all the American people.”

These Freepers drive me CRAZY!

But it's part of their whole shtick. "We Love America. Can you say the same?"

"Well if you love America why are you taking steps to make life harder for everybody, by slashing worker protections and trashing the environment and by bonehead fiscal policies and by sending our soldiers off to die for little to no reason?"

"We Love America. Obviously you must not."

"That doesn't really answer my question."

"We Love America. Go back to france, you America-hater."
