NIKE is not the only one dissing our flag!! It's an epidemic, as the picture above shows very clearly.
I saw an ad on Facebook for customized T-shirts that could have my grandchildren's names (Chris, Jonah, Norah, Gavin and Jason Jr., a.k.a."J.J." *) custom-printed on it.
Seemed like a good idea to celebrate "GRANDPA'S Pride" (especially since "GAY Pride" month is now over and Gays cannot legitimately HAVE grandkids) with a shirt like this until I noticed something. THE AMERICAN FLAG IS DISPLAYED IMPROPERLY ON THE SHIRT!! I refused to order one on that basis alone.
To have "Pride" in your sin of being Gay is just wrong, but there is a certain legit "pride" in being a Grandparent AND in being AMERICAN. The American flag represents our FREEDOM and it disturbs me that this company displayed it incorrectly. If they do the "Pride" flag (as in "GAY Pride") on a shirt I'm sure they'll get THAT right but the Freedom represented by the AMERICAN flag gives them the RIGHT to even make such a shirt....they should get that right, ALSO Other countries would flat out forbid Gay Pride flags!!
Gallup said recently that "American Pride" is WAY down and so companies who diss our flag are only reflecting the current sad state of our nation. But as for me?? MY American flag is flying PROUDLY and CORRECTLY as we celebrate Independence Day tomorrow. And I simply refuse to support businesses or products that do not celebrate it WITH me!!
* BTW, Happy 40th to Jason Jr.'s DAD today!!
