The American Flag Needs Some Help

The flag flies here!!!!

Those links are old news. How do they come to the 15 percent conclusion? I'm agreeing with RIP on this one.

This poll should not be anything against FOX at all. They made it in response to the above posted incident. The real problem is that it happened at all.

i know its not against fox but i am antifox news so i had to throw it in there

Before Linbaugh, Beck, Hannity, etc. we all got along pretty well but then they came along, stirring up the weak minded with their made up bullcrap. The idiots are those that believe them and don't watch FOX with at least a little bit of doubt. Fox thrives on stirring up those who don't do their homework but just blindly believe anything they hear on FOX! Fair and Balanced? Ha! What a hoot!

What is it implying? I dont understand what you are looking for

I think the 15% could be derived from areas with ethnic tension, like the lower parts of the western states, ect. 15% still seems like a big number, but if this poll is more relevant to people in these types of areas, the poll may by biased and not accurate on a national level.

It's hard to beleive this is an issue anywhere, but people can find anything to fight over:

Its a shame that with all we have to be thankful for, we find new ways to fight every day.

people just get starstruck with the way fox presents stories and it is definately biased...but its on tv so it must be true right?

This is one of those dividing polls that infuriates both extremes. A form of manipulation to push some form of opinion. What is really wild about this topic is the current design of our American flag was from a student submission out of our very school system. Did the idiots who made this as an issue realize that Americas children designed the very thing they have an issue with? Unbelievable.

Yep, before those idiots arrived we all got along like angels in heaven. I remember the peace-loving 1960s and 1970s with the Weathermen; the Symbionese Liberation Army; the KKK; the House Un-American Activities Committee; Black Panthers; Wounded Knee/Pine Ridge; VietNam; Manson; near-constant labor strikes, riots in Wilmington, Cambridge, Harlem, Attica, Baton Rouge; Watts and the 1968 Democratic National Convention; Kent State; police using rubber bullets, tear gas and fire hoses; the assassinations of Jack, Bobby and Martin. Yes, damn these newbie right wingers for screwing up all the love.

Sadly, most people believe that history began the day they became aware. George Santayana was right when he said: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it".

Makes me even more proud of my first grade daughter. She just received a citizenship award at the monthly school wide assembly for being one of the few that takes the pledge seriously every morning. Glad I got to go see her get the award. Gives my wife and I hope that we're doing an OK job with her.

We've lost too many friends and family to forget what that flag represents.

If flying the US flag in front of a school makes it an unsafe environment, somehow I don't think the flag is the problem that needs to be addressed.

If you don't like the flag we fly here, go someplace that fly's a flag you like. And do us a favor, take your friends and family with you.

Fox News is a rather dubious outlet for serious and informed news.
