I get it Hoss. You have a dry sense of humor and you're proving my point with satire.
Listen to what John Wayne has to say about the country the flag represents.

You just don't get it do you.
All this unbridled emotion for an inanimate object fuels its burners, its tramplers etc. Were that emotion not invested in the first place they would have no payoff for it. In other words it enables them. Without that blind idolatry they'd have --- nothing to do.
Now if that's your intention to bait them by leading them into it, that's your thing, but don't sit here and complain about something you set up yourself.
Zen lesson maybe but that's how it works.
Try walking into a bar full of G.I.'s or veterans and expound your theory. I dare ya .Oh, and leave your zen lessons at home or you'll get 'em rammed up your booty.
Once again you're just confirming everything I've said.
All emotion, no cattle. QED.
As an analogy, the fact that a Klan posse can go lynch a black person doesn't mean "blacks are inferior". It just means they're carried away by emotions they can't handle.
And that's where emotionally-driven mob mentality leads, and that's why it's never constructive.
You are daft. And not an iota of patriotism in your body and soul. You will eventually wind up in hell.
Haha, you spelled fetishism wrong. Doesn't have a P.
