Once in awhile I take a picture of this...

Once in awhile I take a picture of this...
...so I can remember what country I live in. Also, because it amuses me how enormous this flag is in front of a small strip mall. I'll bet the one in front of the Pentagon isn't bigger than this.

They just wantto catch your eye, I know two gas stations on Hwy 401 near London, Ontario, with bigger Canadian flags than this. One of them is seriously bigger.

Anyway, we like to wave our flag, because it's pretty.

As for your president, he still has a long way to go to be the worst president of my lifetime. I grant that he's taking quite a shot at the title, but he's not there yet.

But we survived them all. In particular we survived that night in 1963 when we all thought that the next morning we would wake up dead.

All that flag waving leaves a stale taste... I guess it's because I'm German and we aren't comfortable with it because of our past - and because the ones waving our flag now are usually people who give me the creeps....

You have a better flag and a better national anthem!

The Yam's primary quality is intentional cruelty toward all humanity - except for select dictators. He meets criteria as worst president, as well as horrible human being. He's a mob boss.

I understand what you mean. Our flag was hijacked by the ultra-right several decades ago, as a political weapon, so most people who aren't in that category have no desire to wave it around. That kind of "in your face" patriotism makes me sick. Then, there's the issue of the Confederate flag, which is all about racism. Ugh, all of this... it will never end!

As a citizen of a country the US tried to annex by force (Madison thought Upper Canada would be easy pickings) I perhaps have a different perspective on this matter, Diane. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump tried the same thing, but so far he hasn't. But I suspect he craves our peameal bacon technology.

Your anthem has far superior lyrics to either the English or French versions of ours. The music could use a revamp, though. Some day an American singer is going to die.trying to reach those high notes.
