Typical....
The flag is a symbol of the freedoms that make this country great... including the right to voice dissent and criticism. If you truly believe in these rights, then burning a flag may be overkill or distasteful... but it's very American.
Not so. Unless a flag is damaged or soiled beyond use, and burned by Boy Scouts in a ceremony at an American Legion, VFW post or at a military base, burning a flag is desecration. Assholes who burn a flag, walk on or shit on it does so at the peril of an ass kicking by a veteran or a member of Rolling Thunder.
See what I mean? "Desecration". Another word for "blasphemy". Worship of an inanimate object. Also known as fetishism or idolatry.
You just keep demonstrating my point over and over.
You really have a problem with national pride and forgets the people who died for this country and the world.
Nnnnnnope. I haven't even brought up "the people who died for this country and the world" whatever that means. But I do have a problem with emotionally-fueled mob mentalities and fetishism. And even with, as you like to put it, "viloence". None of those are within my values. Or this nation's.
