Yeah that dumb whore created a "challenge" so others are doing it. I bet these whores aren't stomping on their welfare checks.

Gotcha. The "other side" comment is where I was a little confused. To me, this is not a matter of political affiliation, race, or anything more than people disrespecting the flag and what it stands for. These acts, in conjunction with the riots, are where this particular protest and what it stands for loses any and all credibility. Not that I agree with the basis of their movement, but when you disrespect the symbol and foundation that gives you the right to promote the very change you're after, and destroy the city that you are trying to improve, it simply makes you an idiot.

Believe it or not, I agree with that. I hate partisan politics. It shouldn't be a factor but usually is.
I see flag desecration as stupid and extremely disrespectful. It's just something people do to try to get attention. I respect my flag, I display it properly, and I fold it properly when it isn't being flown.
I personally do have a problem with others threatening violence simply because they don't agree with someone else's opinion. I see it as hypocritical, sophomoric, and frankly, an assault to what the Constitution stands for.
Express your opinion, do it proudly and loudly if you must, but as you said, the moment you or anyone brings violence into something, your cause becomes weakened, and it must be understood that freedom of speech applies to all of us, not just those who agree with us.

This crap makes my blood boil. Such disrespect for the flag and all the vets out there.

Just read this whole thing and I just want to say that you can disagree with what is going on in this country. Hell I do a lot... But stepping on our flag does not constitute free speech in my mind.
It doesn't solve anything.
It only creates hatred and distracts from the issues that actually plague our country. We aren't savages and those people stepping on our flag should understand that this kind of behavior doesn't solve anything.

Absolutely it does. I say, anyone that doesn't respect our flag, our nation, and our ideology, all politics aside, can go pick some other country of their choosing to live in. Maybe that country's welfare system will provide them with section 8 housing, SNAP cards, and an auto allowance to purchase an Escalade.

Totally agree.
I guess I'm one of the few who understand your experience. I had one of the proudest moments of my life and one of the biggest honors in my life thus far when I was offered the opportunity to raise one of the 2 flags over the American Cemetery in Normandy. I will never forget that or the indescribable feeling I had doing it.
The flag on the right, closest to the beach.
One thing you will never see is a grave marker in such a place of honor for any one of those "protesters".
That's not true. Fred Phelps, founder of Westboro Baptist, the "church" that liked to protest military funerals, is buried with full military honors at Arlington.
The requirements are outlined here.

check your facts. This is a myth that was first reported in as military satire known as the " duffle blog". He is not buried at Arlington.
