Lady Liberty wouldn't be caught dead in a fanny pack
Patriotism is kicking into high gear as our Nation celebrates its big birthday today. Suddenly, the crowds on the streets look like they got lost on their way to a (slightly chubby) reproduction of an American flag-themed musical. With fanny packs…lots of fanny packs.
In contrast to the more traditional elements of American style (bedazzled jean jackets, tie dye and reverse fit denim), people are going all out to show their love and support for this great nation. In the form of sequins. But is an American flag parachute jacket really the way to show someone, especially our forefathers, you care?
I don’t know about you, but it’s things like this that make me question my pride in America. I know this is the land of the free, but shouldn’t we be free of fashion like this?

When I was in Mexico this winter I saw an old guy wearing a shirt very much like the bottom right one. And pretty much everyone around me laughed when they saw him. Just fyi.

I was taught your not supposed to wear the American flag, ever. My mother and both grandfathers are veterans respectively of three foreign wars, they taught me it’s disrespectful to wear the flag of this nation or any other.

The American Flag should not be displayed on clothing unless otherwise portrayed on the shoulder of a uniform. The American flag represents our country. When someone wears the flag as a bandana or any other kind of clothing, they are being VERY disrespectful! The bandana or other clothing of the flag is not being represented correctly. It does not have the 13 stripes or 50 stars. It may have some, but not all, or even more than there is suppose to.

Thanksgiving is less than a week away. That means you’ve got six days to hit the gym and eat healthfully in an attempt to make up for the massive amounts of fat, sugar and tryptophan about to hit your bloodstream. (Unless you’re currently single, in which case you’re probably mainlining cake frosting at this very moment.) I’m getting sleepy just thinking about it.
