Other flags are blue, red & white or white, blue and red. Ours is red, white and blue. Does that clear it up for you?

Not so with red, white and blue clothing seen at a teabagger rally, that is just hideous.

The American flag invokes pride and patriotism. I find it pleasing to look at on any given day.

I'm going to apply to be the Director (Department/ Agency Head) of the Canadian Department of Tourism. I have some great slogans for Canada including:

"Canada... a GREAT place to take a dump!"
"Canada... where we tout our free healthcare and live of another country's military!"
"Canada... if you aren't wanted anywhere else, you'll probably fit in just fine because we aren't wanted anywhere else either!"
"Canada... where we had to legalize pot because this place sucks!"
"Canada... where it's men are considered to have the smallest penises in the world because it's so fricken' cold!"

Canada...

Take off you hoser.

I use it to clean my furniture with pledge, that part with the stars has a good scrubbing capability, gets rid of coffee rings and tough spots.

You have left out a few Nations with Red-White-Blue flags.

Red, White and Blue is the color for the Pan-Slav movement and is the color of the flags of

The Russian Federation
Slovakia
Serbia
Slovenia
Croatia
Republic of Srpska

The flag of Cuba is red white and blue as is Puerto Rica and Chile

Another red white and blue tricolor is the flag of the Netherlands.

The flag of England is not red white and blue, it is the red vertical cross of St George on a white background. The Union Jack is red white and blue for it incorporates the elements of the flags of England, Scotland (Cross of St. Andrew) and Ireland (Cross of St. patrick).

It's a specific color combination designed to keep loony liberal performance artists from defecating on the flag. This historical documentary explains more fully:

So you woke up this morning, scratched yourself and figured you had a need to bash Americans?
And after careful consideration the thing you came up with was our affinity for a troika of colors?

And here I thought you foreigners had superior intellects? LOL!

Look, I am an old country boy from the south. I cut my teeth on American Jingoism. My Grandpa had a “don’t tread on me” flag on the wall of his house all my life. He died of old age 15 years BEFORE the Tea Party thought that was a good idea, and I can come up with a few dozen better ways to bash America and Americans! LOL!

Dude, the fact Judith Hill got bumped from The Voice a couple nights ago is a better reason to Bash Americans!

You need to head back to the University of Brisbane and get some more indoctrination… I mean education…
