Subject: RE: BS: New Rules for the Patriotic
Jack,
Some of your comments bring to mind the recently posted essay by Mark Twain about what you are really praying for when you ask God to help your side in wartime. Well worth reading.

From posts above:

"Wyo, I would add that you would have to know that, contrary to commonly used terminology, the Senate is part of "Congress." --Genie
From: Little Hawk --"But NOT sexual congress..."

Little Hawk, I'm not so sure about that!

Wyo, I would add to your list that to wave the flag and laud "conservativism," you should have to know that Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden, The Taliban, and the governments of Arab countries are neither communists nor liberals!

One more:
Posting you flag on you car windows where it blocks your visual field, thus endangering yourself and others, is not patriotic. (See John Prine's "Flag Decal.")
