I not sure if anyone answered it.
To wrap oneself in the flag is to use your "belief in America" and patriotism to justify your actions, no matter how illegal, immoral or just plain wrong it is.
Such as Invading and taking control of a defenseless country to "Save the American Way of Life."
Or to suspend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights to "Protect America"
Or to arrest and hold people for months at a time without charges and counsel to "Save America"
Such actions are usually followed up by "It was the right thing to do for America". This instantly lets you know it is false. True American do the right thing, not the right thing for "America"

KD - Greenville is beautiful - I bet you do miss it! I'm sure Canada is a far cry from the "sunny south"! Hopefully you still get to visit

wgm,
Yes made it down to SBB the old one and the new one. A couple of the younger guys burnt their tires off at the new one. The Discovery Channel was filming an episode for American Chopper. They should be in it.
I may be too. Got caught on tape in North Myrtle Beach.
Love the area and the people.
Amen,

Looks like you'll be the first back on the list.
