How Much Does Being an American Mean to You? I Will Let a Bataan Survivor Explain it to Flag Burner's

[candycorn]

What kind of a question is that?

Apparently one you can't answer.

 

[Mac1958]

The best part about being an American to me is that we maintain the best of all values: Freedom of expression.

Without it, we ultimately devolve into a dark, authoritarian state.

It's just a shame that so many people are afraid of it -- on both ends of our political spectrum. One of their many similar behaviors.

 

[Mindful]

Apparently one you can't answer.

Because you haven’t asked one yet.

 

[Mac-7]

So he hates those who were on the Bataan death march.

Trump never sad that and he never will

 

[Mindful]

Trump never sad that and he never will

Have you noticed that everything he says is taken out of context, edited and regurgitated as something else?

you political bias is showing

No one on the right is stifling free speech

you just refuse to criticize lefties

And they feed it to libs like Mac1958 who accepts it without question

It’s like a sickness. The Euros fall for it too.

The BBC had been called out on editing a report on Trump. An intrepid investigator uncovered the original transcript.

Trump never sad that and he never will

He only likes people who weren’t captured. So that means he hates patriots like those in the video. The sick thing is that you love the guy who hates war heroes

There’s no hope for you.

 

[candycorn]

There’s no hope for you.

Just quoting your blob.

You're blind. You have Trumpsters - TRUMP HIMSELF - talking about jailing people for exercising their freedom of expression.

But this group psychosis into which you have been sucked is so powerful, you don't see that.

 

[Unkotare]

After watching this, and knowing how they did the Chinese, nary a motherfucker better say we were wrong to nuke the Japs.

What does it have to do with killing civilians?

 

[Mac-7]

You're blind. You have Trumpsters - TRUMP HIMSELF - talking about jailing people for exercising their freedom of expression.

Sorry, but thats a damn lie

 

[Mac1958]

Incredible. You are blind. HE JUST SAID IT.

A year in jail for burning the flag?

I get the hatred for those that disrespect our great nation but thats a very ridiculous notion. Ultimately it boils down to jailing political rivals. I can see a misdemeanor fine for starting a fire if you are not on private property. Say up to 500 dollar fine or a week in jail. Fire is...

Well ok, I will stand corrected on that one

My heart agrees with trump but my head does not

Americans burning the American flag is offensive to me just as spitting on it or taking a knee

we in America have so much to be proud of and grateful for

Our lib education system and pop culture has poisoned the minds of many and turned them into fools

whether we jail them or not (and the courts have ruled we cant) it should bother sane people that we have bred so many radicals within our society

I absolutely hate seeing the American flag burned, and I will absolutely defend their right to do it.

The two things can exist within the same universe simultaneously if we just trust the Constitution.

We should not have to choose

it takes a real moron to burn the American flag

 

[Mac1958]

Well, it takes a real moron to put on a white hood and march down the street in it.

I defend their right to do that, too.

Freedom of expression ain't pretty, but it's uniquely AMERICAN.

Thats not the same thing at all

The KKK used physical intimidation against blacks

which was illegal but not strictly enforced throughout the country for many years

now black people are using the same tactics a generation after the white majority put a stop to the KKK

But its brain dead white liberals along with blacks who want to burn the flag or disrespect in any way they can think of
