Pushing an agenda. What else?
“Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and is conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.” Andrew Jackson
A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
Welcome to Kolorado.
Not a big deal if you ask me. If each of the stars was a marijuana plant, then there would be issues. Hemp is good for more than just smoking, guys.

A Colorado-made Old Glory created from hemp will fly high above the nation's Capitol on the most patriotic day of the year thanks to an Eastern Plains farmer who is more than passionate about getting the industrial stuff legalized nationally.
"George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew hemp," Polis said. "The first American flag was made of hemp. The U.S. Department of Agriculture produced a "Hemp for Victory" video in 1942."
Did you guys even read the entire article or just read the incorrect post title
[MOD: Yeah, I'm finally reading this thread, and the link, so I fixed the title]
Anybody actually read the article?
"Bowman plans to take his hemp stars and stripes to fly above the state capitols in those three states as a tribute to the crop, which he's quick to point out has no THC and could not make anyone high.

I'm no fan of Colorado being a dope smokers paradise, but I see this as not being connected. If I understand correctly, industrial hemp is a different animal that the one the hippies love.
Yes I know hemp has been used to make flags before, along with all sorts of twine and sundry items. It just rubs me the wrong way is all.Originally Posted by TheWeeze
Forgive me, I must have been in a tizzy. I even misspelled "capitol". Thank you for pointing out that key distinction.
[MOD: Fixed it for you]

I just hate it when people act irrationally and revert to the fear mongering leftist tactics.
Industrial Hemp is a plant... like cotton
EHRMAGERD COTTONZ!! IZZA SLAVE CROPS!!!
I actually prefer hemp rope for... "extracuricular activities" :P
Just did a quick search for my own education:
Differences Between Industrial Hemp and Marijuana
Industrial hemp is a variety of cannabis sativa that has a long history of use in the United States.
However, since the 1950s it has been lumped into the same category of marijuana, and thus the extremely versatile crop was doomed in the United States. Industrial hemp is technically from the same species of plant that psychoactive marijuana comes from. However, it is from a different variety, or subspecies that contains many important differences.

What's the big deal? Outlawing the industrial use of hemp was stupid in the first place.
