Subject: BS: Tie a yellow ribbon round the US flag From: Donuel Date: 27 Apr 07 - 02:07 PM All the die hard Bush supporters on our street have US flags by their front door. Mine is mounted on the only vertical pole above a stockade fence but it is still indstinguishable from the other "Republican" flags. During these days of surge vs no funding for Bush wars I believe a simple yellow ribbon says "bring our flag home". If you put it on the flag some dolt would cry "desecration". SO PUT IT ON THE FLAG POLE I'm gonna do it. This could catch on. |

Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the old oak tree It's been three long years Do you still want me? If I don't see a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree I'll stay on the bus Forget about us Put the blame on me If I don't see a yellow ribbon round the old oak Bus driver, please look for me 'Cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see I'm really still in prison, and my love she holds the key A simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free I wrote and told her please: REPEAT CHORUS Now the whole damn bus is cheering And I can't believe I see A hundred yellow ribbons 'round the old oak tree I'm comin' home |

Subject: RE: BS: Tie a yellow ribbon round the US flag From: artbrooks Date: 27 Apr 07 - 03:46 PM Donuel, military unit flags have "always" had long battle streamers made of ribbon and some are yellow. Attach your ribbon to the top of the flag at the staff and, if anyone asks, say it represents a battle streamer for all of the troops. |
Subject: RE: BS: Tie a yellow ribbon round the US flag From: Donuel Date: 27 Apr 07 - 04:03 PM Sounds copesetic all the way around. Personally I like the irony that the song was treated as a patriotic tune during the first Bush Iraq war. |
Subject: RE: BS: Tie a yellow ribbon round the US flag From: Sorcha Date: 27 Apr 07 - 04:10 PM GOOD idea! I'm going to put one on the top of my World Peace flag out front. (It's the Blue Planet in Space flag) |

Subject: RE: BS: Tie a yellow ribbon round the US flag From: katlaughing Date: 27 Apr 07 - 04:40 PM That was BRILL, Ravenheart, thanks for the link! I like your idea, Donuel. Thanks, kat |
Subject: RE: BS: Tie a yellow ribbon round the US flag From: Donuel Date: 27 Apr 07 - 04:44 PM Thanks I never saw them before. Asylum Street Spankers are more brazen than the Capitol steps. |
Subject: RE: BS: Tie a yellow ribbon round the US flag From: Donuel Date: 27 Apr 07 - 04:50 PM Its up and looks good. I'm such a procrastinator, I bought the ribbon 2 weeks ago for this very purpose. |

Subject: RE: BS: Tie a yellow ribbon round the US flag From: Stringsinger Date: 27 Apr 07 - 05:19 PM Asylum Street Spankers....I'm a fan. Utah Phillips has written a good song about it too. Frank |

Seeds of Peace © 2006 Mark Erelli from the album A Nod To Bob (I have it on Hope and Other Casualties) The American flag is tied to a fence on an overpass |
Subject: RE: BS: Tie a yellow ribbon round the US flag From: Sorcha Date: 27 Apr 07 - 06:23 PM I might just put a yellow ribbon on an empty flagpole too. Says it all, doncha think? |
Subject: RE: BS: Tie a yellow ribbon round the US flag From: katlaughing Date: 27 Apr 07 - 06:56 PM Jeri, thanks for the link. His voice reminds me of Dave Carter's...very beautiful. |
Subject: RE: BS: Tie a yellow ribbon round the US flag From: artbrooks Date: 27 Apr 07 - 09:11 PM Sorcha, remember that the flag belongs to all of us - it is not the property of the "right" generally or the Republicans in specific. Do not allow them to seize it as their symbol or to pervert its meaning as they have done with the word "liberal". |
Subject: RE: BS: Tie a yellow ribbon round the US flag From: Barry Finn Date: 28 Apr 07 - 12:07 AM If you're gonna tie a yellow ribbon to the flag then fly the flag upside down. The international distress signal is flying your flag in that manner & it surely is in a state of distress. Barry |
Subject: RE: BS: Tie a yellow ribbon round the US flag From: Donuel Date: 28 Apr 07 - 09:11 AM Fearing that the flag would be flown upside down at a military prison, my cousin murdered Robert Redford in the movie Castle Keep. Some whackos are sensitive to such things. Tieing a yellow ribbon around the the middle of the flag has more visual impact and prevents the flag from flying free in a poetic way but putting ribbon on the pole seems enough to me. I think I'll alert some friends in NY to this idea via email. |
