I bought a US flag at an estate sale. This is a fabric flag on a teak
handle, with two steel eyes (like rivets), held with steel rings
through said eyes. The size of the flag is approximately 18x12 inches,
going by memory.

It would look good on a trailer, and I have some hardware that I
milled yesterday to mount it, so I am thinking of mounting it on the
trailer, but I would like to know if a well made US flag would survive
highway speeds for long, or not.

If not, I will just mount it on my boat.

Every flag I've ever seen mounted on a vehicle on the highway is badly
tattered.

I feel the attaching of American flags to motor vehicles to be
inappropriate, due to the abuse already mentioned that they receive.
It's not treating it with respect, if you know what I mean.

Flags on vehicles tend to fray badly , quickly, and then proceed to
look like **** until finally taken down.

If you are proud enough to fly your flag, IMO, at least have the
decency to keep it in good order.

I'd motion in favor of the boat.

The exact folks who you are talking about are the least likely people to
actually do that. If they knew the history of dissent and a loyal opposition
they wouldn't say the idiotic things they do to begin with. Meanwhile,
instead of knowing the real meaning of patriotism, they carry on about
waving flags, killing people, and starting wars of aggression. While they
are busy trying to prove how patriotic they are by putting flags everywhere
the real patriots are out there opposing government tyranny, like we have
seen so often since senor Bush took over, and are opposing unjust wars and
the arrogation of the civil rights of real Americans as well as the rights
as the other branches of government. So while the true patriots do their
honest work as citizens the sunshine patriots run about waving flags and
putting them up in places where they are treated like nothing more than an
old rag. So chose your side. Be an air headed flag waver or be an American
who does the right thing and upholds the ideals and values espoused by the
Founding Fathers. It's easy to tell which is which. The fools are the ones
with the flags.

Actually, we've found a good supply of American made American flags,
and this area has flags flying all over the place. I can't speak for
where you live, but I rarely see a worn flag around here.

We have a large and very active Veterans community here. We collect
and properly retire old flags in a ceremony at our Veteran's Park.
Maybe no one gives a damn where you live? You seem to have that effect
on lots of people.

BTW our governor, Charlie Crist, visited a few weeks ago and stated
that we had the nicest, and best maintained Veteran's park in the state
of Florida, and one of the best in the nation. It wasn't built by
people who only wave flags once in a while.

I fly a flag (US made) every day, 24/7-365 (spot light at night)
and have 3 more in storage for when this one gets tired.

Nice try, jackass. I know that gov websites end in .gov as in


Thank you, thank you, thank you, Michael!

I would never have figured out that the web page wasn't the official
gift shop of the White House without your clever detection of the flaw
in the web page URL.


I didn't have to go there to figure out, but if you did...


(As Bugs might say, "Sheesh. Whadda maroon!")


Its sad but True. In fact, 'Bugs' had you in mind when those very
words were put into his mouth. You don't have to remind everyone of
your shortcomings every time you post.

I would think that your personal website must end in .fag


Check out this one. http://screwthegovernment.com/

It also has a lot of posters you will like this time and lots of quotes
from the "Founding Fathers" (curiously noone ever talks about the
founding mothers), and others. People you supposedly admire like
Jefferson, Franklin, Madison, and many others.

[First: Apostrophe police alert on 'Its']

Half right, it's sad.

What do you think you know about me? How often do I post?

I think I know you far more than I would actually like.

How many posts do you make in the average day? I'm serious, really how
many -- on a slow day?

Is that the best comeback you could manage or just the best you could
manage because you were in a hurry to get on to the next useless post?
Couldn't you be more specific about my shortcomings?

I don't think I've ever replied to one of your useless jabbers before. I
just couldn't resist taking a joking poke, this time, at your total
inability to shut up when you have absolutely nothing or nearly nothing
useful or entertaining to say but feel obliged to say it anyway.

And PLEEASE, did you really tell me Bugs had me in mind with my own
pseudo quote? I was using his style not saying he ever had an opinion
about you. Like now you are channeling Bugs Bunny? What did Porky and
Daffey have to say about me?

Here's an idea. Seriously. Try to consider reducing your posts by at
least half. Maybe more, if you can manage it. You are addicted to this
crap and it is not enjoyable to watch.

I hate to drag stuff in from another group, but Fred Bloggs probably has
more useful stuff to say than you. A lot of his criticism of your
whining about how life mistreats you may not be far from the truth.

Here's a theory, people may not be picking on you because you are
disabled, they could be picking on you because they sense you seem to be
an unpleasant asshole. I'm not disabled but I've noticed I get into more
confrontations when I am an unpleasant asshole than when I am a smiling,
happy, friendly person. Go figgur.

Repeat after me... "I admit that I am powerless to stop posting on
usenet. God grant me the serenity to stop tapping my keyboard every time
I want attention or feel like a piece of crap."

I never got anywhere close to your addiction level, but I decided a
while ago, anyway, to shut up on posting for the most part. I have
definately rejected most posts I was tempted to make, even after my
recent return to reading. Sorry about my lapse in this post. I promise I
won't reply to this thread again (unless you say something that I
absolutely can't resist or if I hear a cry for help.) Maybe I should go
into rehab. I could use a vacation. Lindsay is kind of cute but quite a
bit too young for me.

Lately I admit I have made a few posts. Several were legitimate requests
or honest replies to others. There were a few snipes here and there, but
I think all were intended to be humorous. The one I made that started
this one was deliberately poking at you, but jeez it seemed humourous
too, and you asked for it. Can't you see that you were being an idiot
with no sense of satire or irony?

whitehouse.org isn't whitehouse.gov ... duh?

Call homeland security. We are being invaded by fake web pages with
dissenting points of view!

PS. I've got my DD214 too from 'Nam timeframe but don't usually feel the
need to tell random poeple about it at all. Definitely not over and over
and over again without provocation.

PPS. I am doing this partially because you seem to be crying out for an
intervention. We really sort of want to help if it's not going to be a
big long-term pain in the ass commitment. Let's try. We at least want it
to slow down or stop.

I finally got to watch the movie, "Flags of out Fathers" last night.

Very interesting piece.

The characters Seemed to have a close parallel to just about everybody
here...

FWIW,

PS: I had a flag on my truck LONG before 9/11.
