I am fairly new to DP, and it was a lot of fun hearing opposing views from others in a respectful discussion.
However, recently, I have found I think there is a new minority in this country that is hated and reviled for everything they hold dear and stand for.
I am talking about Americans who genuinely LOVE their country and the symbol of that country in the flag of our nation.
I am standing alone on this grassy hilltop asking if there are any others here on this forum that also love the United States, and it's flag as a symbol of this country. It is only a piece of cloth made in China, but that is not what I am talking about. I am talking about what it SYMBOLIZES. The United States of America.
Is there any here that can boldly say OUT LOUD, and in public, that they love this country?
Even in the 60's the hippies did what they did out of love for their country and wanted to change the path it was on. History proved them right and they won, but they won because they still loved their country and needed to change its course. They did not win because they hated it and wanted to see it destroyed like so many do right now.
So, anyone...LEFT...RIGHT...CENTER...DEMOCRAT...REPUBLICAN...LIBERTARIAN...or whatever...how many of you can say you love this country and stand with me on this hill?
