It's refreshing to hear another perspective on ex-Gov. Sarah Palin (other than the media white wash) from someone living near enough to know what's really going on. Looking forward to reading up on the posts and seeing what comes up next! Good health to all. :-) Hi All-

In fact, if hub's and my plans had been different by 2 days, I might have even been there with you for real! Our 'shopping city' is Fbks, and we have to go in very soon to pick up some critical building supplies. Originally we would have been there on Sunday, but hub decided to wait a little longer. Anyway ...... YOU need to represent us! If you want, put "Eagle" in that sign! Big thanks for bein' there! @ Rubber Room:

I, for one, am profoundly grateful for that. By *custom*, there are certain ways in which we treat OUR flag; by tradition and mutual consent, WE have decided how to honor the symbol. No *laws* tell us how...it is left up to our individual sense of decency and understanding of the flag's symbolism (along with tradition and custom) that dictates where, when, and *how* WE display the flag. I love that about our country. As I said, I'm soooo glad there are no laws dictating *how* to treat the flag; that it is by *mutual agreement* that WE have decided the 'proper' ways to display it with dignity and honor. And respect - *always* respect. I guess, though, if you (among other whack-brained things) are a "maverick" and insist on not going "with the flow," ANY old manner of stage-propping the flag will be just fine - right Ms. Palin? 'Convention' and the sensibilities of 'ordinary' citizens towards OUR flag, be damned... beth. strangelet @ 257 & Bretta @ 282 ~ One of the many, many many, wonderful things about this country is that there are no laws mandating how we treat one of its most visible and recognizable symbols: our flag.

Why does she get a free ride? I would never do to the flag what she has done, even if I believe a US citizen has a right to burn the flag. I wear a flag pin but did not put one on my car in 2001 because I didn't want it to get ragged. Arrrrgggghh! I am soooo pisssed at her.

It's universally appealing, it's worked before with a variety of audiences, and I think it's her default when she's anxious about criticism. Nobody dares snark off at her, when military stuff is invoked. And yeah, zyggy, she doesn't have to think too hard. As long as she doesn't talk about Kosovo, troops air travel, etc etc. I think it’s about appeal.
