I believe in treating our symbols with respect, but when you start waving it like a nut job and claiming to be super patriotic, I have no sympathy when someone burns it.Bocefish said:Just Me said:Bocefish said:Maybe when he begins to respect the constitution and the oath he took along with the flag others have died for.
Since you are for flag codes and the constitution, how do you justify that with the 1st amendment? I, for one, served my country so people could burn flags.
Seeing as how you SERVED... I justify being pissed off about Obama redesigning the American flag because he has no fucking clue how heroic Americans gave their life for our flag and what it stands for.
How am I waving it like a nut job?
Our campaigner in chief quietly dropped said flag from his snakeskin oil sale pitch site.
Anyone wonder why?
Color me a nutjob for standing up for Old Glory all you want.
