Yep, it ALWAYS cracks me up when the same people who b*tch and moan and cry about "that bad ol' gov'ment"(like that freakin' MORON here in Arizona, and I hear as a few other morons in other parts of the country are doin', who I saw last night on my TV during the local Phoenix news broadcast and who was flyin' Old Glory upside-down because of how this latest election turned out



I'm not going to climb upon my soap box on this one even though it royally pisses me off. We just had a memorial service for a troop last week over here...a 22 year old kid that was serving to bring the vote to a part of the world that he probably never even heard of growing up in a far away land. And now I read about these fook-tards that fly the flag upside down just because they do not like who won the election. I am not bringing politics into this...it doesn't matter who won the election in this same scenario! Performing that act is disgraceful! Flying a flag upside is a bonafide manner to signal distress. The choice of the people choosing their representative in an election, regardless if you like the outcome or not, is NOT a sign of distress!! I find that person as un-American as some of the people I have met on deployments with my boots in the sand. Shame on him.
