 When it comes to parties and patriotism, an opinion piece in today's Hill, the headline, Reclaiming the Flag, Patriotism Belongs to No Party. It's by the opinion contributor, Larry F. Sloniker, and he says that, I'll be flying the US flag this 4th of July outside my house. This will be my small gesture of celebrating Independence Day and, in a larger sense, a demonstration of my patriotism.
