Fox News: Gabby Douglas sucks for not wearing a US flag!

[Arcultia]

What's wrong with this?

It's absurd in a world of nuclear weapons, for one thing. It's also a tad juvenile. "Talk softly and carry a big stick" was a bit simplistic even in Teddy Roosevelt's day.

Our nation is new, only over two centuries old. Plus, as the ones with the biggest sticks, we have earned ourselves the right.

[Tekania]

They are pointing it out because it is less patriotic than previous uniforms.

And Fox News is still better than every other news network out there.

Many of us don't believe ass-sweat soaked flags are "patriotic". In fact, there is absolutely nothing patriotic by waving around, carrying, or wearing a flag or red-white-and-blue.

And this is exactly why we can't have nice things.

How is wearing clothing designed to look like the flag unpatriotic? That "ass sweat" that is "soaking" the flag is the sweat of your hard work that you commited to for your country.

Yeah...sure...

Wearing a flag and saturating it in your ass sweat is not patriotic.

There's a Russian man on the phone for you, something about mutually assured destruction. Should I tell him you're not in?

I never said it was unpatriotic, I just said that it's not patriotic. Patriotism is certainly not defined in my book by how much red white and blue you can apply to your body..... A 16 year old working and training their ass off to win medals for the US in a nation vs nation competition.... now there is patriotism. Some wet cunt blabbling about how there's not enough red/white/blue in the uniforms of someone who just won a medal for our nation..... that's unpatriotic.

Per the US flag code, the flag is not to be used as clothing.

That "ass sweat" that is "soaking" the flag is the sweat of your hard work that you commited to for your country.

Which is surely just as good no matter what colour leotard it'll have to be washed out of, right?

For God's sake don't ever get involved in international diplomacy.

And how is wearing a leotard that is pink unpatriotic? In this nation we value self-expression, individualism, and self-determination. Why should some propaganda machine come down on a young woman who is doing her damndest to represent our country with class, diligence, and excellence for the stupid outfit? Seems to me that some of the blonde harpys on that network have jealousy issues.

[Nordengrund]

I have lost faith and patriotism in my own country, so I do not care either way.

Just sayiiing.

And again, if you actually believe in Manifest Destiny and the right to attack other countries because you have more exploding stuff than they do, stay away from diplomacy.

And the military, for that matter.

At least they report most of the news are are overall unbiased. Unlike some other networks...

Just because of a boycott on a food company that advocates for human rights violations and abortion? Damn, you have a low tolerance. Argentina would destroy you.

[Ovisterra]

That dirty communist! Next she'll be saying that we should be nice to foreigners!

Uh huh... which isn't the issue. The issue here is the blow-hards at that network take umbrage with an exceptional and talented young woman's uniform, nevermind that she is an excellent representative for the US.

It's petty and stupid, rather than celebrating the accomplishments of a fellow American they have to make sensationalist headlines at her expense. Not classy at all.

[Liriena]

And then they're gonna use our tax money to fund better education for our kids, thus ensuring the development of the nation...instead of using it for wars against the damn dirty commies/muslims/whatever scares the shit out of us.

Not that. It is mainly because of abortion.

[Farnhamia]

Then stop coming here and lecturing us on how you think things should be. It is your duty as a citizen to help correct the course of our country if you think it is wrong, and your further duty to help keep her on course when you think she is headed the right way. Anything less is unpatriotic.

Which has no bearing on the fact that a propaganda machine tried to make headlines at an exceptional young lady's expense because they have nothing better to do. Stay on topic please.

This country is going to the dogs. We're the only true patriots left.

Just abortion?

I repeat: your tolerance is rather low, my friend. You would not be able to survive Argentine politics if abortion is a reason for you to forsake your patriotism.

I see all you can do is make a snide remark against something he didn't say, as a response.

[Performers]

How about they get up there and they do it...
