The thing is, I can't remember a time in my adult life when I wanted to wave an American flag. When I didn't feel like my country's flag belonged to everybody in my country who wasn't like me.

If we could elect this guy, though.

I would wave a flag. I would be proud to. I would be proud of my country. My country. Like Patrick Nielsen Hayden said:

I'm a patriot. I love my decadent, cosmopolitan, self-indulgent, racially-mixed, godless, intellectually dilettante, drug-abusing, promiscuous, queer-loving country. And its flag is the Stars and Stripes.
