There's a flag in that picture?

Must've missed it....

me thinks I feel funny in the pants...

blue eyed blond girl, American flag, & a cute puppy....why can't I find something wrong with this picture?

Helsing, great pic. Gone retro huh? Is it a Vargas? or something from the Great American Pin-Up? Oddly, we can probably agree on this, from art to nearly anything, as a country, America is not really producing anything. Because I love bikes, I recently got a trash picked circa 1982 Raleigh 10 speed, and engraved on the American made bike, our flag, and Raleigh Bicycles of America. I have a photo that just needs some cleaning up.Nice job on the Open Thread pic, my compliments.

Oh baby. That is why I joined the Marines and went to war, to protect home, country and 'apple pie'.

Semper Fi and don't ever forget that we run the government.

The whore approves.

from art to nearly anything, as a country, America is not really producing anything.

We're evidently pretty good at producing disloyal turds.

Jay, go to hell and back. My comment was was honest and true. What are we if we aren't producing anything? The pic is great, and it reminds me the retro stuff we now see saying "Printed in China". If you choose to just pick a fight for the sake of being dick, then so be it.

Cute puppy, poor deformed young thing.

GHOST OF WELLSTONE
So you don't like american art, do you? Well guess whose fault it is:

Communist Goals - 1963 Congressional Record
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic
expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture
from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote
ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."

You Liberals created garbage, screaming "It's SYMBOLIC! It's a PROTEST!" in order to justify it. Your kind were and ARE the perfect communist stooges because you can't face the reality you've created.

Kharn, excellent point.
The hideous, talentless excuses for art produced today (Labeled "Postmodernist," usually) are largely made by pretentious leftists who often allow their agendas and their egos to prevent them from producing anything of beauty or substance.

What is wrong with you KHarn? He said
"Nice job on the Open Thread pic, my compliments."

The guy tried to hand out a nice comment, making one jab at how our country's manufacturing segment isn't what it used to be, and you come out with this Communist garbage.

Talk about ugly repulsive and meaningless.

Kharn, I happen to love American art. Yet, I find it funny that the two of you are so shallow minded that even when you have someone that consistently disagrees with says something that doesn't offend, you still want to fight. My point was that overall, you can look to art in the days of Grant Wood and Charles Dana Gibson and get a nostalgic view of how productive our country was vs now being a nation of consumers.

Thank you Anon.

Great picture, Van.

When I look at that puppy I see Kim Jong Il's dinner. That should make most American's mad enough to go kick the little communist's butt.
:-)

I never understood the point of Flag Day.

Jimbo: Don't knock it. Dog is a damn fine meal.

Ghost of Gallstone: My goodness, what flattery! To answer your question, the artwork is courtesty of Greg Hildebrandt. He and his brother, Tim, produced many pieces of art from Star Wars and Lord of the Rings movie art and movie theater lobby posters, science fiction artwork, and card game art. They also have pinup art painted to resemble the pinup art through the ages. Especially during World War II, when Hollywood starlets such as Betty Grable helped boost the morale of our troops fighting in the Pacific and European war locations. That compares to the moonbatty disloyal, troop-hating pissants in Hollyweird today such as Susan Sarandon.

Hildebrant created this without a tax payer funded grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Those grants are awarded to "artists" who place a cruxifix into a container of their own urine and call the "artwork" "Piss Christ." Does THAT make you proud to be an American?

You are idiots if you can't read what he wrote. He likes the goddamn picture. Can't you read that?

Every day is U.S. Flag day!

Even if we don't have a bugel handy, we got a recording.

"...from art to nearly anything, as a country, America is not really producing anything."

Like I said, "whose fault is [it]?"

Want to talk about bikes and other stuff? Who was it that TAXED AND REGULATED American industry out of the country?
The answer: Liberals who were 'sticking it to THE MAN" and "taxing the rich".

Hey... That chick looks just like me!
(Or have I had a little bit to much to drink?)

Sticking it to the man by taxing the rich? Oh, that's priceless. As for the trade agreements, there is plenty of blame to go around. What we have had is large corporations, moving shop offshore to reduce the cost of labor, because in America we once paid our workers a living wage. That said, under the trade agreements set forward by both Democrats and Republicans, kowtowing to the "free market" mentality, the free market is no longer free. The sad little part of all of this Kharn, is went fishing for a fight about the artwork, and my compliment of it. The photo itself is reminiscent of an era when we were actually producing something. The bike came to mind, because I spent the weekend tweaking it. As I said to Jay, don't be dick simply because you can, haver an actual purpose.

Sarah Palin, the Dirty Old Man, and Ugly Feminists

I’ll confess. I think Sarah Louise Heath Palin, who happens to be the first female governor of the great state of Alaska, is the foxiest politician I’ve seen in my lifetime. My wife of 41 years doesn’t even blink anymore when I mention that fact.

Would I vote for her as president of the United States because she’s attractive? Not bloody likely, even if she were a replication of Britney Spears or Carrie Prejean. If she resembled Judge Sonia Sotomayor, it would be even more bloody unlikely.

Palin’s looks are not the issue, or shouldn’t be. What is an issue in 2009–and which will be an issue in 2012– is not the reincarnation of J.D. Salinger’s dirty old man, in the person of dirty old Dave Letterman, or Palin’s looks but whether Dyke-World can overcome its revulsion over attractive women who aren’t lesbians.

It will be a challenge; most who flock to Dyke World more closely resemble Betty Friedan than Mrs. Palin. Brains and success, and Palin has both in spades, appeal to the lez set, but attractiveness seems to be a contraindicator for acceptance for most feminazis.

Make no mistake, the libs, the gays, the lesbians, and the Democrats, which is a redundancy, are terrified of Governor Sarah Palin and Letterman is nothing but a water carrier for that whole crew. Letterman’s crudities are almost irrelevant. What is worth emphasis is the atmosphere in which Dirty Dave and his writers feel free to dump on Palin.

It’s the same prevailing atmosphere which allows attacks on a beauty queen for being honest about gay marriage, which mandates the persecution of a radio shock jock for letting slip a dumb racial slur, and which hounded a sports commentator twenty or so years ago who was fired by CBS for praising Black athletes’ slave-derived athleticism.

To liberals today there are various levels of discriminatory language, acceptable, marginal, and totally objectionable, and they determine the parameters of each category. The Left, for example, has twisted words and language to such an extent that the term “reproductive rights” now has no relation to reproduction but rather to aborting life.

Letterman’s inane “jokes,” referring to the governor of Alaska as a slut and to her daughter being knocked-up way out in right field at Yankee Stadium are in a class with Wanda Sykes’ “humorous” wish that Rush Limbaugh die of kidney failure. That brand of ”humor” so tickled Obama’s funny bone that he all but peed his pants when he heard it. The rest of the lib establishment either condoned or ignored it.

Incredibly, Letterman’s entire defense of his knocked-up crack was that he was referring to Bristol Palin who, since she was 18 and, to feminist dismay, had chosen to bear her child out of wedlock instead of aborting the baby. She thereby violated the First Commandment of liberal theology, Thou shalt abort inconvenient babies. Their Second Commandment is, Thou shalt abort any baby if you don’t want it, inconvenient or no.

Never would Dirty Dave refer to 14 year old Willow Palin in such a way. Not Dave! That would be statutory rape! It was just hunky dorey, however, to make light of Bristol being raped by Alex Rodriquez. I assume, Dirty Dave considered her a fallen woman already and so, who knows, maybe it was consensual.

It was Willow Palin and not Bristol Palin who accompanied her mother and Rudy Giuliani to the Yankee game but, hey, ya seen one Palin girl, ya seen ‘em all. They all look alike, right, Mr. Letterman?

As for his “slutty flight attendant” witticism about Governor Palin, he did sort of apologize for that and will probably not joke about Michelle Obama or Hillary Clinton being sluts, unless one of their daughters gets knocked-up out in left field in the Stadium.

No doubt Dirty Dave, who didn’t marry his son Harry’s mother until the boy was five, . . .

Jimbo - take that blood pressure med, OK.

Shout out to you bro.

Yawwwwwnn! Berlet,that is so full of contradictions and nonsense. For one thing, Democrats are hardly afraid of Sarah Palin, and as far comedians go, she does half the work for them every time she opens her mouth, you betcha! As for Bristol Palin, she has allowed herself to be put on the national stage in her "Abstinence Only Tour", sponsored by Candies, which is a contradiction in itself.Make risque clothing lines for tweens, and then send out a girl who was knocked up at 17 to promote abstinence. Ok...makes sense I guess. And your notion that the left twists language is pathetic. Not once did Letterman use the word rape, it was you guys and the Palins who used the word rape.And again, still no word from the right on Rush saying she actually would have been knocked up "after the game". No attack on Jay Leno when he stated during the campaign "Sarah Palin's 17 year old daughter is pregnant...and you thought John Edwards was in trouble before". Also,the "slutty flight attendant" joke would not work on Michelle Obama or Hillary Clinton, they don't resemble a slutty flight attendant at all, Gov. Palin does.You also seem to think the Right-Wing has some stronghold on attractive women,that is not only shallow, but pretty shortsighted. It shows the Democratic Party's tent to be pretty big, where we are pretty inclusive. As far as Carrie Prejean, fine shes entitled to her opinion, I happen to disagree with her, but her answer was idiotic, "I am just happy to live in a country where people have choice"...what country is she living in?

Late to the party, but thank you for posting a thread for Flag Day, Van.

Oiao, Semper Fi back.

GoW, I know you're being trying to come across as conversational and reaching for common ground. Comes across as being a Chatty Cathy sucking up, though. If you had a developed eye, you would have known it wasn't Vargas. If you had stopped right after that, it wouldn't have been all about you you you. Good try, though your fifth sentence is a challenge. It may have been 'honest and true', but it didn't quite meet the stream-of-consciousness readability you were going for.

On that note, anyone else catch wind of this gem?
