What is a "Flaggot"?

"Flaggots": People who are passionate about a flag. ANY flag that they would fly or desecrate or disrespect out or spite or under the guise of protest or extreme celebration in the face of opposition.

If you are burning a flag, trying to change a flag, remove a flag, ban a flag, stomping on a flag or flying a big ass flag from the back of a truck to get attention, you are a FLAGGOT.

It's not my word originally, it was a word that I first heard more than a decade ago when someone was mocking a ‪#‎confederateFlag‬ activist. Now that flags of many kinds are such an issue with many, it is a universal identity embraced by some and used by some to mock the people so obsessed with an issue and taking the issue over anything of real importance.

Personally, if I use the word i'm not using it as a compliment for anyone. And I have no intention of sounding like I support ANY flag at this point. Im so sick of the issues with flags that I just no longer care if ANY flag is flying. I'd like to tell anyone with a flag (of any kind) to shove it up their butts.

This America we live in allegedly was founded with the idea of having some freedoms. But society in 2015 has betrayed that idea. Flags that have flown for years and decades are now being used as pawns for political and social bias leading to dangerous reactions from rabid supporters or detractors of any specific flag. And if people don't calm the hell down its going to become a domestic war out of control.

Do we really want that?
