I'm proud of it. I'm proud of the history it symbolizes. I'm proud of the people it represents. I'm proud of the nation it flies over. I'm proud of the principles and freedom it exemplifies. And I'm proud to display it.
I may be outspoken in my criticism of our government officials when I feel they are abandoning or ignoring the Constitutional principles under which we were founded, but make no mistake about it; I firmly believe that we still have the greatest morals and ideals and decency of any nation ever established on this earth, and we have paid whatever price was necessary to prove the meaning of what we stand for whenever events have put us to the test.
If anyone disagrees, so be it. You can apologize for or criticize our history and our role in world events any way you see fit. Our freedoms give you that right. As for me, I'll be flying the flag.
Do you want to know why? I'll let our flag speak for itself. Pay attention, okay?
