Forced Patriotism, American Flags, Cuba, Texas, and The Confederacy or Alright, We Get it "Go America."

"Driving through parts of Texas is like a Ford and flag plant next to each other exploded. I see a guy with Ford F-350 Super Duty Lariat with duelies and a Triton V-10 on a six-inch lift driving with a six by eight foot American flag jammed into the tow hitch on back. As I pass him in my obviously non-masculine Jeep he has the standard issue Jesus fish, NRA badge, yellow ribbon magnets, and huge bass sticker on the back window and I wonder. What has he done to make himself so proud of America.

America is a great country, we evolve and change as needed. Sometimes we don't. I couldn't give him the benefit of the doubt so I figured he, as most over-patriots, wasn't a combat vet. Did he want some form of health care, did he do the Christian thing and help the homeless and the coloreds of his town. Did he hate Mexicans and brown immigrants. When was the last time he actually did something for his state, community, or people. I figured the Toby Keith CD he bought last week helped stimulate the economy."
