Tribute or Protest?

Posting tonight from the Belly of the Beast…Cruising through Kerry and Kennedy Country, I saw an interesting display by the side of the road today, a few miles south of Ashland MA.  I saw, what I first thought might be a flag welcoming home a local service man.  There was a flag stuck above a hand lettered poster stapled to a telephone pole. Then, the next pole had a flag that was definitely not American, above another hand lettered sign.
A third, further down the road, appeared to be an Italian flag, with an Italian name, so I thought, “Maybe they’re be celebrating the diversity of their community?”
The further I drove, the more flags I saw. More signs with the name of individuals, country of origin, and what looked to be the soldier’s age.
All of the signs looked to be lettered in a similar hand, and the multi-national flags were all the same size.
I suppose, this could have been a tribute to all these brave young men who had given their lives to free Iraq from tyranny. I looked online to see if I could discover who had done it or why. I suspect, that in the liberal enclave of Massachusetts, this was meant to be a reminder of “how President Bush is killing people around the planet.”
Eye of the beholder, I guess.

Be careful there agent proof.  If you suspect they’re on to you, destroy all incriminating papers first.  Then act as if you’re an idiot.  You might fit in.

What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

Has the UN moved to Ashland?

You don’t have to be a moron to be a liberal Democrat but it sure helps.

I taped an old Kerry/Edwards Sticker (there’s a LOT of them around here!) over my “Life Member NRA” sticker.
So far, I think the only people to suspect me are the waitresses who have gotten decent tips! They look at me funny!


For any voter trying to choose between the two candidates for commander in chief, there is no better test than this: When American strategy in a critical theater was up for grabs, John McCain proposed a highly unpopular and risky path, which he accurately predicted could lead to success. Barack Obama proposed a popular and politically safe route that would have led to an unnecessary and debilitating American defeat at the hands of al Qaeda.

No, but an excellent suggestion!
