Dissent

It is symbolic to display the flag upside down...

THE FLAG CODE
Title 36, U.S.C., Chapter 10
As amended by P.L. 344, 94th Congress
Approved July 7, 1976

§ 176. Respect for flag: No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor. (a) The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.

So there's some meaning here. Click on the image to read the fine print a little easier.

Political Commentary

Now, a big issue for the Republicans has always been "flag desecration." I'm never quite sure what that means. This photo to seems to me to emphasize the most proper way to display the flag, but I think if she were to turn around, we might see that she's wearing it over her ass - perhaps not where some would like to see it displayed.


This is an old photo that came out shortly after John Kerry's gaffe last November about George Bush being stupid - or the troops were stupid - or something like that. I loved this photo, even though I'm a liberal. Just plain fun, this is.

Some days, as I listen to the war news, it seems to me that it is hard to believe that we are losing the war in Iraq. We have such incredible technology when it comes to war weapons. I'm not sure, but I don't think the Iraqis and Iranians have the same technological expertise. How could we be losing?

Democrats in Da' House
At least they'll provide some balance to the President's attempt to rule the world.

Flag Amendment?

George Bush shows that the flag is really nothing more than a souvenir, perfect for signatures and notes to pass between class. It's only desecration if you're someone else.
