My question is why other flags representing allegiance to other countries. Hang them in the garage
not as public display.
Traversing through Dallas , Texas (ugh) on Texas-OU day revealed some areas in which only the flag
of southern neighbors can be seen.
I wouldn't even do that. My sainted mother loved to find out who our ancestors were, and she told us kids about them. I wouldn't ever hang a flag of my ancestors origin even in a garage. My ancestors wanted to get away from those regimes.
I'm an American, and I will gladly stand up for the American way of life. I hate seeing it eroded. America is a melting pot for all people, colors, religions, and expatriates. We chose to make our own country, and not be like all the others. I am thankful for that fact, and I love this land.
Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and a bunch of rogue castaways wanted to be free of British oppression. They wanted to practice their religion as they saw fit. I have some of their blood in my veins. If people don't desire to be free, and they want America to be like their home country, then they should go back to their mother or fatherland.
I want to live the life of an American, where Liberty, Justice, and Freedom mean something. It is being torn down by new age thinking and living. If one has such a fondness for their native land, Why are they here ? Either contribute to the land that you live, or change the land that you came from.
Assimilate to this land, and we can make America Great. As Abraham Lincoln paraphrased Jesus Christ in the Gettysburg Address, (Matthew 12:25-30) "A house divided against itself cannot stand".
