Left to my own devices I am happiest running around the woods, drumming, hugging trees and chilling with critters... but whoever vandalized our flag & pole did it for all the reasons I hear from certain types of folks (who call themselves liberal) out here all the time, America sucks, anyone who flies a flag sucks, anyone connected to the military sucks... the flag is a terrorist or hate symbol, and people who do fly a flag need to die because they must be republicans who voted for Trump, so I know who ever did this thinks like that, my immediate close liberal friends do not and my conservative friends do not... when I said "liberal" I mean these sort. So yes Capitol A ass, of course there is a conservative version of this personality type too... I know that. It is just these sort build whole arguments up on one little piece of information like US Military Base Stickers or affiliation bumperstickers and decide they know everything about a complete stranger to justify doing something like vandalizing or leaving threats and violence. I have gotten threats and even had hate crimes committed against my family by certain conservatives in the past. So I know the everyone gots jerks. Nothing like being the first victims of homemade weapons deployed in an attempt to kill or maim my children in the name of Jesus (I know this was not Christian behavior so I do not hold it against all Christians just the people who think attempting to killing and maiming children is a Godly act). So don't get me wrong, I just know the type. Peace and Happy 4th of July!
