OK, I have been meaning to write this for a long time. Why do people think that because they were a flag shirt, have a flag sticker, or "terrorism huunting permit" or some other stupid thing like that, that that makes them a Patriot. I remeber after 9-11 i pulled up to my mothers house and she asked me why i didnt have a flag on my car. I said "are you kidding me, you protested the vietnam war even though your brother was there, when i told you i was joining the Army you said i was stupid, you never vote, but now because you have a flag and i don't your a Patriot". This is the stupid stuff that pisses me off. I live in NY were we don't have alot of recent ex millitary, but i see tons of Terorism hunting permits, flags ect. I know for a fact that these people would never answer the call to defend there country. Its the same in the south all these Rednecks, talk about Patriotism, and owning guns, and free speach, but when push comes to shove they stay home and watch it unfold on TV and complain. So I say to all the people who talk about free speach, or the fact that we have a Democrat president or the right to own a god damm rocket launcher. Shut the hell up. If you care go fight for these freedoms, dont fly a flag to make up for your lack of actions, dont put a Terorist hunting permit on your car or truck unless you have actually hunted them. Now to all the active duty millitary, millitary spouses, and veterans, you know what i am talking about.
