      No thoughts, head empty, only flag

        The parody song "Build the Flag" is an amazingly accurate representation of American patriotism. It's barely even a slight exaggeration.

      The difference between living for your friends and neighbors or dying for some faceless shareholder.

      It isn't hard to wrap socialism in a flag and tie it to a cross, if that's what gets people excited. Republicans do this shit all the time to good effect, then simply reneg on their promises time and time again.
