We true patriots get a little upset when the stars and stripes come into style, because they always have been our style and we don't want people to think we're part of the fad. That anger in me comes from the belief that everyone should always be as proud to be an American citizen as they were for the few weeks after September 11th last year, and now.

Do we celebrate our independence from tyranny on July 4th? No -- we spend it getting drunk and lighting fireworks. n Memorial Day, do we remember the hundreds of thousands of men and women that gave their lives for us?? No -- it's just a day off of work so we can go and water ski.

Perry, or perry -- however you like it -- the images you posted are touching, and I feel for each and every American in this time of pain.

I just get upset when the stars and stripes appear when people feel sad and guilty, and feel a need to be seen with a flag. I think that's all Antonio meant.
