April 7, 200619 yr You'll probably want a good vest to go with that:   and don't forget the shorts for those warm summer nights   and you'll need a stylin' hat to complete the outfit      :plain
April 7, 200619 yr The money you spent on that POS could've been used to buy a care package for a soldier in Iraq. You must hate America. America hater. Get out of my country. Burn in Canada. Freezer burn that is.
April 7, 200619 yr Enjoy the titty twisters and beatdowns tommorrow.  Wow. Post of the year. Does anyone else have a "problem" with the fact that he put the flag-shirt on the ground to take that picture? Now you gots ta' burn it!
April 7, 200619 yr Interestingly enough... This is an improper use of a flag, according to title 4, United States Code, Chapter 1, Section 1 and Section 2 and Executive Order 10834: Specifically Section 4: ?That no disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America.? Furthermore: Part D: ?The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free.? - Matt Ferrara CMSgt [Ret], USAFR  Wonder if he'll not wear it now that our own government doesn't condone this kind of tacky crap.

I'm pretty sure that's just for actual flags which it does not appear this shirt is made of.

I'm pretty sure that's just for actual flags which it does not appear this shirt is made of. That was in response, I believe, to the Superbowl halftime show where Kid Rock was wearing an American flag jacket and took it off and threw it into the air where it eventually hit the ground and was walked on by band members (not purposefully), etc. What is a flag? Is there more than just cloth to it? I mean, can flags be only made of one material for us to consider them "legitimate" (so we can discount plastic flags like the ones sold on the 4th of July and crappy flag t-shirts, etc.?)? I happen to believe, in a lot of cases a flag is MORE than just the material it's made of. I support the burning of said flag to prove a point (and don't think I'm all for flags burning all the time, I'd like the point to be somewhat justified before you go to that level of expression), I also support Accord's right to wear said shirt (even though I think it's in really, really bad taste). But, where do we draw the line? What "flags" do we discount? I have a number of flags laying around here. There's one outside the house, one in the garage from World War 2 and my grandfather's funerary flag that they give to passed servicemen. I also think my neighbor has a couple of plastic ones in his garden and lining his walkway. Are mine more legitimate than his? I think the issue with this, at least my issue, is the trivializing our flag by marketing as bumper stickers, t-shirts, etc. All of these are valid forms of expression. But, I also don't LIKE the fact that some coorporation is just making these things out to sell to a bunch of, what I consider, dumb consumers who are in a nationalistic frenzy. I consider the flag an important symbol of our country and is has it's uses. A shirt is not high on that priority list, for me.  In my mind things like the National Anthem sung in view of the stars and stripes, seeing it at at half mast, or even just certain ceremonial presentations of the flag mean more to me than bumper stickers, t-shirts or tattoos. I like keeping those things somewhat "sacred." And while I respect your right to wear said frivolous representations of the flag, I also reserve my right to make fun of you for doing so. This is probably too long of a discussion for this forum, but what the hell?
April 7, 200619 yr Author The only time I plan on wearing it is 4th of July and also when I go to my next NRA high power rifle match at the Sawgrass Rifle Club :thumbup .
