autigeremt 6,560 Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 I agree with this sentiment. I think it is time to burn the flag. It no longer represents a nation of laws; where people can practice their religion without interference; where gov't is small to protect the rights of; and unleash the industriousness of; the people. Where a compact; sworn to by each branch as they are sworn in; protects us. It now represents the type of corruption that in my youth you only associated with Latin American dictators...gov't by the fiat of a few...religion is no longer tolerated; it is now outright demonized; and once deviant behaviors have now been grafted into the constitution because; well because a group of 9 un-elected, handpicked no-it-alls decided it.. Gov't is what you can get away with... And gov't has a solution to all your problems because; well I guess American socialists are just smarter than all the other socialists in history who have tried this and failed. I really don't have a lot in common with the nation now represented by this flag. You are welcome to leave. Just write us after you find a better country. Damn republican! You sure are a hateful sort. Oh, wait...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autigeremt 6,560 Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 The Constitution protects exp<b></b>ressions of free speech. The Constitution says nothing about that speech making sense, being noticed by people, or being taken seriously by people. And buffoonery is not illegal. My equally protected opinion: Much ado over nothing of consequence. And I think the Constitution and our sweet Land of Liberty still have a lot of good years ahead of them (possibly even better than we've yet seen). :bow:/> These days it looks like free "speech" is becoming more selective, but I'm not against their right to burn the flag.

homersapien 11,347 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Very sad that some of you fail to recognize the difference between a flag that symbolizes the causes of freedom and democracy, with a flag that symbolizes the cause of outright oppression. Sadder still, you cannot recognize or appreciate that, the flag of those who stand for freedom and democracy defeated the flag of those who stood for oppression. Really, really, really, really stupid. If you are so Republican or, so southern, that you can no longer be an American, I wish you well in your future home. I will be happy to pay for your flight if, you agree not to come back. Sounds like something a Republican would say regarding issues of the liberal left (but with a different set of circumstances). Southerners aren't the ones ready to burn the stars and stripe this time, though. It's people who "deserve" to be given something more than others already have. Freedom. "Post of the Day" !!! What exactly does post of the day get you? A set of steak knives? A trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AURaptor 1,121 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 So, after this childish and idiotic temper tantrum of a display, the flag will be free of all crimes ? And we'll no longer have to hear any more of this b.s., ever again ? Paid for some imaginary crimes, huh, by burning a few flags ? I kinda doubt this will be the end of it, which would make these folks liars on top of a long list of other not-good things too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to how to select a place to live; I've spent half my life outside the US....there are a lot of great places to live. And the majority of the US time was prior to turning 18. My decision to come back to the US; and to this specific location; for this period of my life was based on a specific job and money making decision....not the flag or heritage. It's a temporary situation based on the needs of our family...I can't imagine limiting my options to one country (a great gift from my parents).
