I have a friend in Russia who translated the routine of a Russian comedian for me. The guy had been to the United States. He mentioned that there were American flags everywhere here. There was even American flag underwear. He says that when Russians put flags on their underwear they do it as a form of protest.
That's what I thought of when I heard about the American flag shoes Nike was going to produce. Wouldn't a flag hat be more respectful?
There was an episode of The Courtship of Eddie's Father where Bill Bixby was troubled that woman made a teddy bear out of an American flag.
When the Supreme Court overturned laws against flag desecration, a guy in Oregon went to court to have his criminal conviction for having an American flag seat cover overturned.
Abbie Hoffman appeared on TV in an American flag shirt and the network obscured it with a black box.

| He was ARRESTED for wearing that shirt. |
So these right-wingers getting their American flag panties in a bunch over Nike deciding against putting out Betsy Ross shoes---THEY'RE the traitors here if you ask me.
