‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom and they can’t take that away. ”
These days, I guess the flag only stands for freedom if you’re white, Christian, and Republican.

“I don’t have an agenda, I don’t have a program. I’m not a communist or a socialist. I guess I’m a left-libertarian and a populist, and I believe in the Bill of Rights the way some folks believe in the Bible.”
