A reminder: by the time you’re finished with breakfast (and, if you’re like me, your morning crap), you’ll likely have already violated several federal or local regulations, and be guilty of one or two crimes for which you won’t today be prosecuted, the beneficent police state kindly turning a blind eye to most of the specific goings on inside your home. For now.
None of which much matters, because we’re the land of the free and the home of the brave. I know this because I heard it a song. Which song acts like a magical talisman against statism and makes it vanish the moment we invoke that particular declarative phrase.
So we’ve got that going for us.
I’m having some real doubts about the Pledge of Allegiance these days.
I believe in and love the America that no longer exists.
My allegiance is to a Constitution that limits federal power. If the flag doesn’t stand for that, why should I stand for the flag?
The flag stands for that.
The degenerates who run the gubmint do not.
In the case of my morning constitutional, the Air Quality Act was most definitely violated. So there’s that.
The land of the free and the home of the brave sings of chamber pots and outhouses, a cramped and inglorious era of murder, slavery and disease, not an era of generous flush toiletry and enclosed waste systems, marvelously harmonized, balanced and scientifically maintained by armies of bureaucrats ‘looking out for you’. Besides, it was written by a lawyer, and we know how shifty that sort is by nature: they who go so far as to carry their crap around in their pockets for to have a snack when the urge comes upon them.
The flag is the emblem of a country, regardless of what the country stands for. Just because the Nazis and the Communists in Russia and China changed flags when they took power, doesn’t make it the rule. Cuba’s flag is still the one it had when the U.S. left it independent after driving out the Spanish.
And the government stands for what gets them elected. If they betray the nation’s founding principles and manage thereafter to get re-elected, what does that say about the country?
If the Unicorn Prince’s popular support continues draining into the septic tank of history, maybe then I’ll believe the flag stands for what I believe in. But I’ll want to see evidence that people have drawn larger lessons from it than that Obama and Holder are corrupt and the IRS needs “reform.”
Was it your fair share of crap? Did you think any doubleplusungood thoughts about Dear Leader when pinching it off? Have you documented your toilet flushing use on today’s TPS report?

Kindergartner Who Brought Cap Gun to School Interrogated for Two Hours and Suspended
Two hours without parental or legal representation?
Somebody’s in trouble!

I always aim for violating at least 5 by the time I finish breakfast. In case I want to take it easy that day and only have to do another 5 by dinner.
When reached for comment, Ann Barnhardt laughed long and loud and said: “Bring it, bitches.” (see: barnhardt.biz, scroll down to “Fanmail.”

My allegiance is directed to the Gadsden Flag nowadays. We’ll see if the Stars & Stripes can retake its former place of prominence.
