The flag has no voice in what the politicians have been doing, so perhaps it is the politicians that should be set afire instead?
When is the last time a flag has defended itself from a violent attack? Or for that matter those in power have defended the people who it represents? Perhaps we should eliminate totally the military, disarm all citizens, and then see how long we can exist as a country? Michelle Obama is for the first time in her adult life, proud of the country, while we see unemployment, debt, and other problems increasing at a rate that may ultimately destroy the country. This is what should make someone "proud" to be an American?
What's being protested by burning a flag? Is it saying we should no longer remain a Nation comprised of 50 States and should become 50 Sovereign Nations instead? Hmmm, maybe I should go out and buy one and burn it too? Just what does the flag represent? Obviously there would not be a single answer we would all agree to.
The flag represents this great nation and anyone caught burning our flag should be hanged for treason!!!
I didn't vote I'm more of a patriot So I probably wouldnt burn a flag unless I was really cold but there is a time and a place for everything and I think it's a better way to protest being unhappy with a country you think is doing something wrong than say something that would hurt someone physically or destroying someone else's property.
I respect people's right to do so but at the same time I think it's highly unintelligent to do so. I mean, who's going to see a flag burning protest and consider their views? They're just going to say, "Look at that anti-american bastard" and hate you. I think protest should be more effective and educational than violent. And yes I consider flag burning to be a semi-violent form of protest. But that's my two cents.
Its pissing in the face of the millions of people who have died for our freedom only pussy ass bitch dicks do it this kind of bull shit pisses me off why can't people protest without being insulting
I half way agree with you. It's more of a moral issue than a rights issue. We have the right to do it, but is it morally correct? And at what point should moral conflict with liberties....? If you think about it, it's only insulting to people that take it that way. Unless the protester clearly states his intent, you may never understand, especially if you jump to conclusions that he/she is being insulting.
I don't give a flaming nutsack if your great grandfather, father and you had a combined service record of over 150 years in the service!!! You are spitting and stomping on the very symbol of freedom you claimed to have served. If you actually served, you are a disgrace! I grew up in a military family and your attitude is not that of a freedom loving America. Sounds like that of a stupid hick bastard.

Look at Vietnam vets Look ar Iraq vets They dont have 1/2 the pots to piss in as the other clowns that played solider. Flag isnt worth a fucking thing. Talk about some dip shits here.
