Attention patriots and lovers of freedom. If you are ready to fly the stars and stripes this week as part of your Inauguration Day celebration, here are four three not-so-far-away options to pick up a little red, white and blue.
- Shoprite, 15th Ave E
Nothing says you love America like small, plastic flags. $2.99 each. Plenty in stock as of this posting. - Broadway QFC
“Just sold my last one a few minutes ago.” Many, many patriots on Broadway. - City Hardware, 901 Harrison in SOLU
Quickly becoming my go-to hardware option just down the hill. Two flavors to choose from — 3’x5′ for $28 and 4’x6′ for $36. A few of each in stock. - Lowe’s Rainier
Everything from $1.47 to $25 for the big ones. “We got a lot of them right here, honey.”
Ballards’s All the King’s Flags (going out of business :( ) and Cap Hill’s Pacific Hardware on 12th Ave are closed on Sundays but might be able to hook you up for last minute flagage on Monday.
Seriously? Doesn’t that flag represent everything we hated about Bush? Why the rush to worship it? Can’t we show our love for the PEOPLE of our country without hiding behind a piece of cloth that still represents death, destruction, and torture to millions of people around the world? Should liberals and progressives be sharing symbols with conservatives and nationalists?
