The Patriot’s Flag – Purpose, Process, Payoff
Welcome
This is the first post on The Patriot’s Flag. I have been posting on my “Liberty” web page until today which can be found at http://www.jdlinn.com/liberty.html. The “pre-history” of this blog can be found there. Because of its impending length, I decided to move to a blog format.
I fly one of my many patriot flags every day, and I change them often. The changes are based on the status of Liberty and Freedom in the United States of America for each day. I choose the most important topic of the day, post my comment and change to the appropriate flag for the day, based on my Flag Chart. (See “The Flags” tab).

The Purpose: To make myself, and anybody else interested, aware of the latest win or loss for Freedom on an “as happens” time format.
The Process: I mine the news, mostly from the Internet. Decide which item I feel is most important, research it, and verify it, making sure all credits are clearly linked to authors and artists. Then I post the information onto The Patriot’s Flag with my comments. I then choose a flag to fly at my house based upon the tenor of the post using the flag chart, (See “The Flags” tab). When a Liberty or Freedom is lost, a black ribbon is added to the flagstaff. When a Liberty or Freedom is secured, a red ribbon is added to the flagstaff. Each ribbon is titled and dated.
The Payoff: I become more aware of what is happening. In the process of documenting these gains and losses of Liberty, I am documenting milestones that either are leading toward Socialism or back toward Liberty.
Summary: There are probably hundreds of these kinds of blogs today, and this is just “another” one. What makes its special is that it is MINE … if I’m the only one who reads it, I will be pleased. As stated above, the output of this effort will be to document the milestones that will have led us to Socialism or back to Liberty. Whatever happens, if I do this correctly, at least one person will know how it happened and why.

The above information is posted on the “About” tab. Tomorrow I will continue the mining process, and post the gems I find HERE rather than on the Liberty Page (http://www.jdlinn.com/liberty.html).
