Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore

[ommango]

While digesting Reader's Digest
In the back of a dirty book store,
A plastic flag, with gum on the back,
Fell out on the floor.
Well, I picked it up and I ran outside
Slapped it on my window shield,
And if I could see old Betsy Ross
I'd tell her how good I feel.

Chorus:
But your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more.
They're already

Great lyrics!

I ask this kind of question a lot myself. When people claim they "support the troops", I reply, "That's great! What have you done to support the troops?". Often their "support" takes the form of a magnet on their car, and that's about it. Apparently they support the magnet manufacturers.
