Turned into police? For what? Exercising his first amendment rights? "I don't agree with what you say but I'll defend your right to say it" You people really are ****ing stupid aren't you? The VFW post should be shut down and those responsible should be arrested for unlawful detainment.
Just a couple weeks ago, I dug an 18" round hole 30" deep. (I dug the hole on my private property, just in case you're wondering.) I had to dig through a 3-inch layer of gravel, but that gave way to good old-fashioned Missouri clay. Digging that hole was a simple thing. It took me a couple hours and about 5 trips with the wheelbarrow loaded with what I'd dug out to a brush pile. I did a fair amount of sweating, and the effort cost me an aching back, several blisters, and a sore elbow.
But I got an enormous sense of pride out of the experience.
You see, Sir Dipshit, I had a 20-foot flagpole that was going to go in that hole. I installed that flagpole in the hole, and anchored it with not less than 480 lbs. of concrete. I mixed each 80 lb. bag one at a time in my wheelbarrow before carefully pouring it into the hole and keeping the lower section of the flagpole plumb.
I installed a solar-powered light on the flagpole, because U.S. flag courtesy recommends it.
Once all the hardware was installed, I then clipped on and adjusted a 4x6 ft. U.S. flag. Underneath that flag, I clipped on and adjusted a 3x5 ft. U.S. Army flag.
Once all that was done, I hoisted the flag, presented arms, and thought about how puny and insignificant my aching back and blisters were, compared with those heroes in Afghanistan and in Irag who didn't have the opportunity to install their own flagpole on their own property - for the simple reason that they came home in a box.
That flag means more to me than you'll ever know or understand, Sir Dipshit. It means sacrifice, pain, and separation from family and country. But it also signifies honor, integrity, service, and esprit - these are qualities that, again, you have no concept of.
I've been around on this planet for some years now. I've learned that those who think like you are generally so wrapped up into themselves that they're incapable of thinking of someone or something besides themselves.
Ruck up, Sir Dipshit, and come out to perform your own service to the Nation.
THEN you may begin to talk about Freedom of Speech in a context that actually makes sense. Destroying somebody else's property does not equate to free speech, as others have already said.
And yeah, go ahead and **** with my flag, Sir Dipshit. I'm not sure that there would be much left of you, once your criminal behavior was observed and dealt with.
Liberal pussies like you are usually good for only one thing - worm food.
