| Growing
up a catholic, one of my most terrifying experiences as a child was
watching the 1977 horror flick The Exorcist. Its graphic
images of possessed souls wrestled by good and evil created a lasting
harrow. In one particular scene, the child Regan pleads "help me" as an imprint of raised skin on her abdomen, unable to use her normal voice as she is being possessed. Possessed American Flag is simply the same message in the same script creased by hand onto a standard American flag. America is not well presently. But we kinda like it that way from all appearances. The neo-theo crusades have as little to do now with saving souls and enlightenment as it did back then. Nationalism gets its turn in this go round. No burning required.
