I fly this flag because, well, I love how it looks on this old New England farmhouse. And, to show that I believe in our country more than I believe in my party or other ideals.
Political parties and politicians represent thought trends; popular thinking. Yet strong countries and constitutions weather such trends and hold fast. We don’t stand for individuals or parties above country.
For me, it’s not okay to dishonor our constitution or our country in favor of a current political trends or current political leaders. My allegiance is to the flag, and to the republic for which it stands.
Practical Tip: When you’re in a disagreement, and you want peace, a proven technique is to rise above the current disagreement and find something higher that you both have or want in common. We can disagree about which team is best, and both love the game of baseball. We can disagree about how, and both want America to be great. It’s not okay to trash the rules and break the game just so your team can win.
Actually, we are all on the SAME team. It’s not us vs. them, it’s just us. We’re ALL Americans.
That is an incredibly powerful statement. We are all on the same team.
Thank you.
Thanks Chip.
