the american flag
I don't fly it
for the same reason
I don't go to church
I see them both
as symbols
of oppression
I'm not
pledging loyalty
to them either
liberty and justice
(and Jesus) for all,
my ass
I have a lot of beautiful friends who go to church. And probably some beautiful friends who have the U.S. flag hanging on their house.
Just letting you know why I don’t.
Happy Thursday!
I am with you on both counts. It’s the same reason that I don’t say the Pledge of Allegiance anymore and I have trouble singing the national anthem at ballgames. It’s kind of makes me sad because that used to be something I loved to do. I stand quietly with my hands behind my back or to my side. What a world!
Amen! Loyalty without questioning leads to dictatorship.
