I just find the whole idea of flying an American Flag on your porch moronic.
Is it to remind the milkman that you're American when he arrives on your doorstep.


No. It's to remind idiots of what it took to make this country everything that it is. Which now it is turning to a crappy mess I'll say.

It's also a show of patriotism. To let all know you support your nation and that you care about what happens to it. Do Australians have no pride in their homeland?

I don't need a flag on my porch to show pride in my country.
Materialistic pride, no thanks.

Bro, it's left over from WW II and the Cold War, when McCarthyism was running rampant in this country. Mostly older people fly American Flags these days.

I'm old, but not old enough for that era.

And no, I don't fly one, I live in a 3 apartment house. The two you see flying in those pics are from a couple in their late 60's and a couple in their late 80's.


/e Some younger ppl fly them if they have children in the mideast war, or relatives or family members, who died there, or even in earlier wars. Ofc, they are also flown by a lot of ppl on patriotic holidays as well.

The real question is, why you care. ^^


/ee Btw the way I called the long dead hedge and call the new Ilex Red Beauty...president Bush ;)

A man needs a reason to be proud.

It is LOL

It's a genetically engineered Holly, done by Rutger's University. They gen-enged it to have leaves half size, and to grow in a christmas tree shape. :)


Other than that, you're right its a Holly Tree. They even patented it.









Looks like I'll have to get one of these so they can fornicate. lol
