and the horrific shooting of the US soldiers in Texas, yesterday our own brave soldiers, now this!
but what struck me was President Obama when he was sending condolences to the bereaved families, always has the stars and stripes behind him no matter where he is and whatever speech he's delivering...
Qs...Why don't we fly the flag? the only time it is seen is in the USA when Brown or Blair before him, went there.
I's not a case of offending anyone! because the USA is a huge melting pot, but they fly their flag with pride, everyone under the same banner, they even sing their National Anthem with gusto, whereas our big earning footballers, bareley mutter it...
Why????

Because it's cheap.
Politicians wrapping themselves in the flag is an obvious and crude attempt to gain brownie points by appealing to feelings of patriotism.
It's insulting because it assumes that the audience is too dumb to see through such an obvious ploy
As Johnson had it "The last refuge of the scoundrel"
That's why you see Griffen at it all of the time
The US is a different culture like that it's almost mandatory there - but it's still cheap
