Flag Shirts
I am big into Patriotic T-shirts, especially for the 4th of July. I recently added my own original flag design to my gallery so that I could personalize an American flag shirt for my new baby boy this July 4th. I haven't totally decided what I will write on it. I think I will put the year on the front side, and my baby's name and "1st July 4th" on the back side.
Being the cornball that I am I will get matching adult ones for me and my husband too. I am tired of the Old Navy ones that he and I usually wear.
You know, it is so hard for me to be patriotic during this time in our nation's history. Our president is clueless, seriously... I can't take his idocy any more. He has ruined America's reputation abroad. I think that this annoys me the most. One of the many great things about our country is that no President has all of the power at any given time. But even with only 4 year terms and term limits.. this president has managed to screw this country up a lot in a very short time. Uch... I just can't listen to him any more. Can't Colin Powell be president instead? Can't anyone else be president instead? I just feel that any new face right now would really help us in terms of world opinion. At least other nations would be willing to consider the possibility of change.
Well, I could go on and on about this, but will not. Basically, just wanted to write that despite everything, I still feel that this nation is the best nation in the world, and I will still be sporting a flag shirt this Independence Day. I am just a bit dis-heartened about our leadership right now.

It has become a stigma, wearing American or "patriotic" attire. I think it's refreshing to see someone genuinely promoting it beyond just a symbol of stubborn allegiance to our atrocious administration.
Btw, thanks for visiting my site. I'm sorry I didn't get to respond to your comment there personally.
Our "atrocious administration" is after all only temporary.
But yes, for now it seems that wearing patriotic apparel is perceived as going hand in hand with being in support of Bush and his tactics.
In fact, the freedom that we have to show dismay with the "atrocious administration" should remind us all how unique our country truly is. We are the model for the world. Soon the tarnish that Bush has put upon us will be buffed from the brass. We will shine again.
