Atlanta to just south of Lexington, KY today, and no displays, though another big rig had a flag on his mud flaps. Very disconcerting...
One bright note: I have four flags in my cab.

Re: Flag Day
I put our flag out at what would have been sunrise if there were ever sun or warmth here in the CAGW tropics.
Re: Flag Day
Duane, to the untutored, which would be me, what is a CAGW?

My DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution) chapter celebrated Flag Day this past Saturday with a big picnic. Long may she wave!

The "catastrophic anthropogenic global warming" for which Minnesotans fervently wish.
David, you are just too far away from punk conservative media!
Re: Flag Day
Well Duane, if you recite the Pledge of Allegiance backwards, click your heels three times, and throw Al Gore's DVD over your left shoulder, you might get your wish. Or you could just move south. Oh, and "conservative punk" anything sounds like an oxymoron to me. I guess I'm a philistine.
Re: Flag Day
I'm too indie to really be punk, but our own Joe Escalante could explain better than anyone that punk is fundamentally against a certain kind of decadence and for a certain kind of discipline. Obviously nobody looks very disciplined who destroys their instruments at the end of a show, doesn't bathe, and is unemployed. But UK punk always had around its neck the albatross of post-WWII austerity and imperial collapse. When, say, Led Zeppelin followed, more than a few kids took a look around and said "No future!" Some American punk has appropriated this political attitude -- Green Day's American Idiot ironically borrows most hugely from a thoroughly British punk political tradition. But not all American punk has gone in this direction. So you have the Ramones with Rocket to Russia and American punks appropriating Johnny Cash and straightedge punks, and conservative punks, and on and on.
