Star Spangled Banter

Speak of the "Stripes"

Speak of the "Stars"

Speak "Hate" of "Others"

In "Racist Rant Bars"


Speak of your "Country"

Speak of your "Pride"

Speak with "Proud Voice"

The "Hate" kept "Inside"


Speak of "God's Love"

Speak of "Gold Shelves"

Speak "Hate" of "Freedom"

Speak for "Yourselves!"

You've captured the outrage-bait-response dialogue of society. Listening might be a good move. And stories. J :)

Fair enough. I'm just wishing those 'patriots' would engage rather than react. The name calling is like my terrier barking at the postman - pointless and noisy. J

Thanks Jeanette, I guess I get a little hot under the collar, (being second generation Navy), of so-called "Patriots" who spend their time spitting on their fellow Americans "Constitutional Rights!" Let the "Fag" of "Freedom" fly for "All!"
