No our freedom is not in jeopardy and never has been.
Not from foreign powers.
That is a myth.
Sure helps keep the military/industrial complex chugging along, though.
thanks for your opinion
i guess “we will bury you” is a myth too
And the opposite end is draping themselves with us flag on hat, sock, underwear, bikini, cape, bus, etc.
US flag is not a fashion item. Surrounding yourself with flags does not make you patriotic.
Flag are arguably secular icons.
If you doubt that, publicly trample on a BLM flag and watch what happens.

No that was rhetoric.
You honestly can’t tell the difference between rhetoric and reality?
The American flag is flown outside of my home.
Why should that be controversial? I’m an American.
The conflation of the flag with our military is just utterly ridiculous.
Symbol Worship as a stand in for actual patriotism.
…
Did he include the practice of simply flying the flag at your house in that list?
And did he say flying a flag was a problem?
He did not…he said surrounding oneself with flags doesn’t make one patriotic.
Do you disagree with this statement?
yeah rhetoric is “we will bury you”
reality is parking nuke missiles in cuba
do we need a military?
Yes rhetoric is parking missiles in Cuba.
The USSR could never have conquered us or taken away our freedoms.
All they could have done was join us in destroying the world.
And they didn’t hate us because of our freedoms.
They just wanted to feel like they weren’t prone to being overrun from Europe anymore.
If it is a fashion item, yes. Only one flag is flown at my home and that is the American Flag. Not flags.
Then what are you complaining about?
I disagree.
you going to answer my question?
And you of course are free to do so.
I personally believe the conflation of the flag with the military is plain to see.
Especially when the military realized sporting events could become recruiting commercials.
I did.
You have a mythical view of America that is not borne out by reality.
What’s sadder is it’s not necessary to hold such a mythical view and still have love of country.
oh really?? where?
here’s my question again. i was looking for a “yes” or a “no”
Europeans did it as well.
German nationalism was based pretty much on the soil under their feet.
