So what does it mean for you? Lot’s of other countries utilize the same three colors in their own flags, but none are associated as strongly with these four words, “Red White and Blue”. In those four words, America, the U.S., the United States of America, is mentioned. The shear power behind those four words, in those three colors; that in itself makes Old Glory remarkable. The power to evoke a response, an opinion, an emotion, it’s quite impressive, really. Almost as impressive as this sweet Richard Simmons dance move.
The symbol of the American Flag has got to rank right up there globally with the Peace Sign, the Cross, the Ying and Yang, the signs for Restrooms in airports and the Blanco Honky Guy. Though there is no legally defined designation of how each color is defined. Unofficially(according to this dude’s website), the colors were to represent the following:White: Signifies purity and innocence
Red: Signifies valor and bravery
Blue: Signifies Vigilance, perseverance, and justice
But for the rest of the world, from various cultures, religions and socio-economic backgrounds, our flag and the colors it bares may represent something entirely different. For instance, red may resemble Baywatch. After all, hasn’t Blanco witnessed this through first hand accounts by one of our Ambassadors on one of our expeditions to Chile?
So take white for example. Surely the rest of the world recognizes us as a nation of tremendous fishing for Whitefish. Where else in the world can you go out when the river is half frozen over and catch your limit of Whitefish? Where? We’ll tell you where honkies, America, that’s where.And blue. Blue, Blue, Blue, Billy Blue...... Is it our pristinely polluted waters that have so many of us Brownlining, for prozac induced carp? Nah, it’s Blue Jeans you silly honkies. That’s what we’re known for, and Blanco Honky is okay with that. Denim happens to be worn pretty awesome-ly just about everywhere. And think of it’s diversity (jorts, pants, jants, jackets, vests, shirts, sleeveless shirts, etc.) as symbolic of the diversity of this great nation.
In synopsis, have a great fourth! South American Rednecks, Whitefish and Blue Jeans; Reggie Jackson, Whitey Ford and Bill Buckner, or Naiveity, Bavery and Chuck Norris. France, Great Britain, Liberia, Mullets. Whatever the colors mean to you, wherever you are in the world today, it’s The United States of America’s Independence Day. Blanco Honky loves you no matter what country you come from. That’s the beauty of drinking rum drinks and starting your own nation, like the Blanco Honky Nation. So honk-on honkies, and buck-up blancos, and tip back a cool one for whatever nation you find yourself in station!
