Our Constitution should be our National Symbol, not some flag or cobbled together song.I don't get this sending our kids to die in some political war of expediency somewhere as protecting our freedom. How did Korea, Viet Nam, the first Gulf War, Iraq and all those other 'conflicts' do anything to protect our freedoms? Didn't we as a nation lose freedoms in each case?It is well past time we get our priorities straight. Stop killing brown people in other countries for fun and profit. We can't even maintain our own country any more.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
I wonder if the DUmmies realize that most flags sold in the U.S., including those sold at WalMart, are made in the United States.
It's not just "a piece of cloth", as libs are wont to say--it's what that piece of cloth REPRESENTS.Don't worry, ****ers. Far better men and women than you will ensure you can spew your bile without fear of a knock on the door in the night.
