Good question, but it does work well to herd sheep.

If you say so. It doesn't mean anything to me.

John Prine song comes to mind when patriotism & the flag are linked.

Then you have been under a rock for the last 3 years. You could show that symbol to a clas or 5th graders and I will bet that 80% of them know who it stands for.

I finally found it online. Guess it doesn't work all that great as a "trademark", does it? Although I don't watch political ads or pay much attention to bumper stickers. And just to test your theory, I showed it to my sixth grader and my eighth grader. The sixth grader shrugged and the eighth grader said he thought it might a symbol for the Navy.

Just out of curiousity, do they show this symbol all the time on Fox News?

Where's "everywhere"? I'm just wondering where you guys are seeing it since you seem to think it's such a well known symbol, obviously it's someplace I do not frequent.
