Only 27 percent of Democrats will display American flag on July 4: Poll

[Natural Citizen]

We used to fly the Gadsden flag but it got really weathered, I should buy another one

Aw man, that reminds me.

There's a guy a few blocks over who keeps one of those up, just on his front porch. The people across the street from him put up a Biden/Harris flag and then he went and put up a Trump Flag.

The Biden/Harris people hate that guy. lolol. It's funny.

They took it down the day after the election, though.

The really funny thing about it, though, is if you put em both in a lineup without knowing a thing about either of em, you could definitely tell who the Biden/Harris supporters were compared to the Trump guy just on looks alone. You know how progressives often have that same goofy look about them? It's kind of eery, really, now that I think about it.

You obviously do not qualify if you have to ask.

Americans are Americans whether you agree with what they say or not.

I remember when the left loons screeched the Gadsden was racist. I just rolled my eyes

If I see a magician taking a rabbit out of a hat, I may not know how the rabbit got there but I can easily tell if it is a real rabbit or not. Trump talks about pulling a rabbit out of his hat but never quite does it.

WTF are you even babbling about--- rabbits? I see metaphors are not your forte.

He has been talking about his healthcare plan, that we will all love, for 10 years and we still have yet to see it.

Don't you remember? John McCain flew cross-country with a tumor in his head to cast the deciding vote to kill it.

His Iran MOU is just the latest example.

So far, the MOU has been working like gangbusters. Hezbollah and Israel are in truce, Iran is in abeyance, their nuke program dead and the Strait open and fee-free. They just set a new record for oil shipment today.

Got an example of what really goes that is not shown by the MSM?

Probably if I had nothing better to do than tally what the MSM reports and not and how. I'll tell you this before I go, I watch PBS occasionally and it is like another planet. They report on NONE of the big stories going on, only report the contrarian view, always take the side of the minority view, and staff only people who are unquestioned supporters of that view--- never anyone to counter any of their claims.

And all the stories they cover, the big issues, are crap no one else even cares about. It is almost like the smaller the issue, the more minor the group, the more interested they are in it.

I remember watching an hour long documentary on Palestinians about a year ago, the whole show was about following one Palestinian family. Yet at no point in the program did they even ask or talk to a single Jew to give their side of the story and issue.

 

[toobfreak]

A lot of people around here fly it year round. That and I enjoy during harvest season farmers fly it on their corn pickers and combines

I recall the vote was to kill Obamacare. There was no GOP alternative offered.

Except all that was true BEFORE Israel and the US started bombing Iran.

So you assume the bubble you are in is reality while anything outside that bubble is fiction. Got it.

Maybe you should have removed your blinders and ear plugs and done more to end the causes of the BLM movement.

As domestic terrorism incidents in the United States continue to rise, concerns have grown regarding the threat from left-
wing extremists, specifically anarchists and anti-government protesters. The current political schism in the country
continues to drive the conversation of far-left versus far-right threats, and data about the threat of far-left extremism have
been lacking. Using open-source data from the U.S. Extremist Crime Database, this exploratory study seeks to address
this gap in the literature by assessing the differences between far-left and far-right ideologically motivated fatal violence
between 1990 and 2020. Results indicate over the past three decades the overall prevalence and deadliness of far-right
extremism far outweighs that of the far-left, even though far-left violence has increased over the last five years. The
implications of these results and corresponding policy suggestions are discussed.

September 5, 1975--FIRST assassination attempt on Pres. Gerald Ford (R), leftist Squeaky Fromme, September 22, 1975 SECOND attempt on Ford's life by leftist Sara Jane Moore. March 30, 1981, leftist John Hinckley attempts to assassinate Pres. Ronald Reagan (R). June 14, 2017, leftist James Hodgekinson shoots up a republican softball game seriously wounding House majority whip Steve Scalise (R). July 13, 2024, leftist Thomas Crooks shoots Pres. candidate Donald Trump and kills innocent bystander. There have been three other attempts on DJT's life from 2016 to 2025. Yeah, that sounds like there are more violent attacks by the right, eh. Please link to those political assassination attempts. While you're at it you can post what the summer of love 2020 cost taxpayers and victims of the left's violence. Run along, you're a bigger fool than I gave you credit for.

The constitution doesn't say a word about the government providing your health care. Why would the GOP offer an alternative?

Not fool enough to believe that everyone who attacks a republican is a leftist. John Hinckley Jr., the man who attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan in 1981, was not a leftist. In fact, in the late 1970s, he briefly flirted with far-right extremism and was a member of the American Nazi Party.

BTW, anecdotes are not data:

A Comparison of Political Violence by Left-wing, Right-wing and Islamist Extremists in the United States​

Abstract:
Although political violence has been perpetrated on behalf of a wide range of political ideologies, it is unclear whether there are systematic differences between ideologies in the use of violence to pursue a political cause. Prior research on this topic is scarce and mostly restricted to self-reported measures or less extreme forms of political aggression. Moreover, it has generally focused on respondents in Western countries and has been limited to either comparisons of the supporters of left-wing and right-wing causes or examinations of only Islamist extremism. In this research we address these gaps by comparing the use of political violence by left-wing, right-wing, and Islamist extremists in the United States and worldwide using two unique datasets that cover real-world examples of politically motivated, violent behaviors. Across both datasets, we find that radical acts perpetrated by individuals associated with left-wing causes are less likely to be violent. In the United States, we find no difference between the level of violence perpetrated by right-wing and Islamist extremists.

Exactly. Just because health care is popular with Americans doesn't mean the GOP should care what Americans want.

I presented facts. Your inept attempt to use political supposition does not equate facts. Keep burying your head in the sand while you spout nuh-uh. The facts remain and are easily substantiated.

Again, the constitution doesn't say a word about healthcare. I imagine you and your parasitic ilk would all love to have free food, housing and transportation too--move to a communist country and you might get it. Want a free ticket?

Facts like Hinkley was a leftist? That was the only one I checked since you never back up your 'facts' with supporting evidence.

"Only 27 percent of Democrats will display American flag on July 4: Poll


As America prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, a new poll finds Republicans and Democrats sharply divided on patriotism, flag displays and the meaning of the July 4 holiday.

The Reuters/Ipsos survey, conducted June 12–15 among 1,537 US adults, asked Americans how they planned to celebrate Independence Day, including whether they intended to display the US flag, attend patriotic events and what the holiday represents to them.

The poll found 64% of Republicans said they would display an American flag or flag bunting outside their home this July 4, compared with just 27% of Democrats."

27% seems high. I would think 5% would be more likely, but only if the Pride flag flew above the US flag.
Come to think of it, I should get a statue of Christopher Columbus and fly an American flag over it.

I'm not going to display one
I would never display one
I may offend somebody like an indian or a costa rican

We have to be more welcoming and inclusive ....for social cohesion sake

 

[toobfreak]

Nor Democrat. It was a last second thing.

Except all that was true BEFORE Israel and the US started bombing Iran.

And? What does that prove?

So you assume the bubble you are in

What "bubble" are you talking about? You've not even established any bubble yet much less defined it, and now you are locking me into it as the basis to support your claim? Proof that your argument is totally lame.

is reality while anything outside that bubble is fiction. Got it.

You said it not me.

New Survey: Americans Want a Legislative Solution for Dreamers

A vast majority of Americans support "Dreamers" and their right to remain in the U.S. and obtain legal status. Polling data shows that between 68% and 80% of registered voters across the political spectrum—including a strong majority of Republicans and Democrats—support legislation that would provide a pathway to citizenship.
