Anyone know of a reliable source to buy small American flags from?
I was desperate and actually went to Wal-Mart last week to try to find some and they have none. I was really surprised.

I found some at Lowes that were fairly large, but I'm looking for the smaller ones that people wave at a rally. About the size of the one AWOL Bush signed a few years ago.

1. My intuition tells me this is Halloween related. T or F?

3. Uh, no. It's to put around my Obama sign in my front yard.
I anticipate them to be stolen and/or destroyed by repukes because that's what they've been doing in my neighborhood for the last couple months. So, I want to have many so I can keep replacing them.

6. Time to invest in a cheap video surveillance device.
If you know your signs will be physically messed with, it's the perfect way to help Obama and yourself and your neighbors.

And you may get lucky. What if you catch your Repo town council/county commissioner/state senator's kid ripping you off? That's the kind of campaign event that's a game changer.

Catching a thief or vandal is always news, so if your lure catches a fish you are likely to be able to make far more of a statement than your sign itself did.

5. Aco or Ace Hardware might have some
It's easier to find them in the spring and summer, though.

9. Any flags you find in WalMart will be made in China
I suggest googling "flag made in USA" or even checking a web site like Democraticstuff.com

I mean if we can't make clothing, vitamins, cars, shoes, tools, electronics... we should be able to make a freaking American flag.

10. Agreed. I'm ashamed that I even walked into that anti-American store.
VERY few items there are actually made in the U.S.
