The Gadsden flag is back up, but today with a wreath of flowers at it's base to signify the loss/sorrow for those who were lost. Make that murdered most foul. And Blues, Howard, I agree with you on all counts.
I find many of this country's leaders fools, corrupt, and manipulative and unworthy of respect. But in times like these, it is not the politicians who lead, but who have to run to catch up with plain old Uncle Bill Sixpack; Howard the softspoken; Blues the road-salt-of-the-earth; and Rusty the clown.
