I am frustrated with with all this flag talk.

It's all good bro, and I apologize for some of the grammar mistakes in my last post. I kinda threw that post together in about 5 minutes, and I didn't bother to proof read. I have since done an edit.

This country is by far nothing like the USSR, Germany, and Italy. We are a country of diverse people with broad and ranging views of how we would like to live as a people. And that is what makes us as a nation so freaking great.

But the gist of what I've been trying to get across is this. People like J. Howard who have no respect for the National Anthem, and from what I have seen from Obama, I have very great concerns from their behavior that has been on display.

While I may look at the flag differently than you, that's okay. Just don't be disrespectful. Also, just ask any widow, widower, or any family member that has lost a loved one, what that folded-up flag in the shape of a triangle means to them, and maybe, just maybe you will have a change of heart.

But at the end of the day, you and I are Americans, and I have got your back. Saden, you and I are down like four flat tires because we are Redskins fans too. Peace?
