Why the name?
Shortly after 9/11, I started seeing flags all over the place. This was, for the most part a good thing, but sometimes, I'd see a flag in an ironic place, or that had been left draped on a building in such a way that it grew tattered. The flag, after all, is a symbol, and where we place the flag is supposed to indicate our feelings about our country.
The flag pictured to the left was hanging in my local grocery store, where it stayed for over a year and a half. I titled the picture "Misplaced Patriotism," and have since used "Misplaced Patriot" as my moniker when commenting on other blogs.
This is all by way of explaining why I chose the name "Misplaced Patriot."
