Flag desecration down in Texas
It seems a good Amurican by the name of Larry Northern decided that what to do was to plow his pick-up over hundreds of flags and crosses representing the fallen soldiers from Iraq which lined the road near where Cindy Sheehan and others are staging their peace vigil.
Wonder why the right wing patriotic flag defenders aren't howling their heads off? They're strangly silent.
Crooks and Liars has some video. Be sure to scroll down and check out the posts below the one linked above, especially the clip from the Daily Show. Good stuff.
In other news from Texas, a local father of a fallen soldier who agrees with Sheehan has allowed her to camp on an acre of his land which is actually closer to Bush's fake "ranch".

Patriotisim is a trick perpertrated by all goverments to brainwash their citizens into supporting, and fighting for that country.
Are their reasons to fight? Yes when that same goverment slowly erodes your freedoms and takes away what is yours or your neighbors.
I dont recall anyone from Iraq doing that to me.
Hey all you moonbat liberal nuts. Good luck in the next election losers. You Nancies are the reason you can't win. Suckasses
Thanks for your rational comment anon. You must have been captain of your college debate team.
Man, that comeback was good for a morning laugh. Maybe I should just start being a smartass to my many detractors on DDP. Its more in my character than diplomacy. In fact, I could use that comment word for word on many occasions.
Being a smart-ass has it's place, especially for someone like the anonymous person above. They deserve nothing but the best.
Sarcasm; it's not just for breakfast anymore.
And.. I guess better late than never... to Maybesomeday...
Dissenter's comment was meant as sarcasm to point out how the right has attempted to "own" the flag and patriotism.
I regret that you apparently missed it.
