Flying the Flag in the Slope
Who says patriotism is dead in big cities? Obviously this homeowner on 3rd Street in Park Slope would beg to differ.

Uh, Johnny, the flag in the picture is the stars and stripes. The stars and bars, the Confederate battle flag, is not a flag likely to be flown by many Obama supporters. Funny coming from someone mocking the lack of intelligence from Republicans.
Good post Legion.
spot on IronBalls. I honestly can’t believe Obama has shown is incompetence not one week after being elected. Bailing out General Motors is absolutely insane. The man is going to destroy this economy.
We now have a President that can speak in complete sentences without a teleprompter. Reason to fly the flag in my book.
Lot of very bitter McCain/Palin supporting Repubs out there. To them I say keep doing what you’re doing. Focus on tax cuts for the rich and ignore the economy. Concentrate on fundamentalism and not science, opposing stem cells while health care costs continue to spiral our of control. Let Rush Limbaugh make your next choice for VP as well. Worked out real well this time.
In the meantime, we just took back our amazing, beautiful country, and we’re gonna fly the stars and bars proudly!
Brooklyn, love it or leave it.
The morning after election day I couldn’t wait to don a flag pin, badge, iron-on, whatever. I looked all over the house and couldn’t find anything, until I came upon a clip attached to my Brooklyn College ID badge. Totally offensive when I got it back in 2006; I’ve worn it on my backpack proudly every day for the past week.
“Lookin” is the essence of SHEEP. hopefully this person is not charged with any meaningful decision making responsibilities.
obama will do just fine – he’s smart, wants to be president for 8 years, and is indebted to a variety of constituents on conflicting sides of most issues. net result will be bill clinton redux. the fact that he’s already bending over backwards to placate the auto makers gives a nice indicator of what to expect over the next 4 years.
Lookin,
The Democrat majority congress was Bush’s partner in the bailout. Where’ve you been?
There’s no question that Obama will make the expense of the Iraq War look like pocket change compared to the trillions he and his cronies in congress are about to waste.
Obama’s idiotic plan to “bailout” the auto industry is beyond stupid. Is Obama on drugs? Every dime US taxpayers give the auto industry will go straight down the toilet. Obama is a liberal community activist who does not understand business at all. Even before taking office, he deserves the title, Tax and Waster in Chief.
Yes, I’m afraid. Obama is no Bill Clinton, despite hiring some of his people. Bill Clinton was a very shrewd conservative Democrat. Obama is a very slick used car salesman who does not understand that his union/interest group pandering politics will kill this fragile economy. Already, since winning office, the stock market has dropped more than it ever has in history after a presidential victory.
Do you liberals realize you just elected a new president who is against free trade? Sure, the War in Iraq was misguided, but can’t you folks see the writing on the wall already? T
Bread lines here we come . . . The media brainwashed you people to vote for the liberal equivalent of George Bush, and unfortunately, he’s massive tax and waste policies will hurt this country far more than Bush’s overseas wars have.
We’re currently in a recession. Obama as President will lead us into a bigger depression than the first one.
I’m with legion, park slope is just a big ball of heaping shit.
@westernqueensland, am I missing something? What’s postmodern about the flag – was it flying over a foreign car dealership? Maybe I should be asking over at todayeye…
Hammer and sickle? As I recall, it was a Republican President who nationalized Wall Street with a $700+ billion taxpayer bailout last month.
You nasty ol’ haters stole that flag from us when we were kids 30 years ago. We’ve grown up, and now we’re stealing it back. And we’re gonna give it to EVERYBODY! Because we’re ALL REAL AMERICANS! Even the ones named Barack Hussein Obama! Especially them!
