The Patriotic Douchebaggery

Your employer practices what you like to call "Patriotic Douchebaggery".

Patriotic douchebaggery happens when an individual douchebag or group of douchebags puts on a patriotic guise in order to reap the benefits, but doesn't follow up with any of the responsibilities of said patriotism.

The picture to the left was taken during today's snow storm. Notice how the flags (three of them, mind you) are still flying in front of the building. These flags are NEVER taken down.

You remember when you were a young tyke going to school in a small town in the Heartland of America...anytime it was as much as misting precipitation, the flag flying on the pole in front of the school was immediately taken down and folded by a group of boys who were specifically chosen for that task.

They would also take down the flag at the end of every day, and then raise it again the next morning.

If the flag ever became tattered, it would be taken to the the local VFW where it would be respectfully and ceremoniously burned.

Any individual or group of individuals who flies a tattered flag day and night whether during a snow storm or not is practicing patriotic douchebaggery.
