    Anytime I see an American flag flown off of someone’s house (or God forbid, their truck), my assumption anymore is that they’re a repugnant chud who hates every principle the country was founded on, but loves every horrific atrocity it’s indulged in.

      one is acceptable. there’s a lot of nice, decent people who have a flag up at their house or business.

      more than one, though, and you can pretty much tell how big a raging hateful asshole they are by how many flags they have up and how poorly they’re displayed. bonus points for bastardizations like ‘thin blue line’.

      Oh hey, you just described my in-laws. sub a minivan for the truck though.

      They sure do love going on about how this nation was founded on “CHRISTIAN principles and beliefs”, yet every single word out of their mouths, every vote they cast, every action they take says “if Jesus were in front of me today I’d be the first to grab a nail gun to put that commie-social-Marxist in his place with the other snowflakes”.
