I've been seeing this truck, and it pisses me off
Apparentley I cross this guy has a similar route to the one I take on my way to work or something, because I keep seeing the same truck. Of course it could be that I tend to forgot other vehicles I constantly see, but remember this one. It pisses me off to no end.

First, all the Bush/Cheney bumper stickers on the back that are still there. That's already enough to make you puke.

But no, it doesn't stop there. There's no one, but TWO giant American flags flying in the pickup section in the back. Two very frayed American flags. The edges are quite undone. Plus one of them is stuck in the crease between the passenger section and the pickup section. So you have a frayed and somewhat torn flag stuck in such a crease. And to top it all off, this is Minnesota, meaning at this time we get snow. And when it gets warmer, the snow melts and we get lots of slush and mud. Both flags are stained with loads of mud from puddles. Two frayed, mud stained giant flags in a pickup truck full of Bush/Cheney stickers. It's the ultimate in faux patiotrism, and the ultimate Freep-mobile. Considering I live in a pretty damn liberal, I suspect this guy is trying to piss people off. I hope I don't see this truck again for quite awhile.

1. If you do, stick a note on it's window
saying that the condition of the flags is an absolute disgrace and question his patriotism by flying such soiled and damaged symbols of our country.

Hit where it hurts people, hit where it hurts........

2. Even better...
When you attach the note about the flags, make sure that you include the etiquette rules for disposing of worn and tattered flags. They have to be burned. Watch a freeper lose his mind when he realizes he has to do what he's probably been screaming should be illegal for years. lol

3. I see trucks (and cars) like that here in DE
The flags that they probably put up after 9/11/01 are still up, all torn and dirty. Very disrespectful.

5. I saw a really tattered flag this morning
It's on a billboard on I20W by this storage place.
Really disgraceful. I was thinking that I need to write down the company's name and call them to give them a piece of my mind.

I'll be doing that tomorrow.
