[Vanity] In all honesty, what would you do if someone burned the U.S. flag in front of you?

With all the recent late-August talk of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick refusing to stand and salute to the National Anthem which caused a fierce debate on social media and the press, we all know that some folks in this country loves to burn the U.S. flag. Although it is constitutional, what would you do if someone near/in front of you burned the U.S. flag? I remember some communists burning the U.S. flag near a park in NYC last year. What would you do?

I’d rather not say. Just in case his/her lawyers found my posts on this site and tried to make my reaction look premeditated.

Honestly, the person doing the burning attempt better have some backup to protect them from me.

I can only tell you what I’d LIKE to do. Give them a good swift kick in the butt and suggest they look more deeply into the totalitarian/dictatorial/murderous leftist systems they admire.

I spent many years in the Army. I would act. The person burning the flag would have to wait and see what my act was.

That would be my answer, too. I like Trump’s position. Let ‘em mess with me, and then surprise them.

I’d get a bucket of water.

Then I’d run toward the fire.

Then I’d dunk the jerk’s head in the bucket.

I keep my head down until the big stuff comes.

If someone is going to physically burn the flag, the fire that started it has been lit for a while.

And I don’t care about them. They are meaningless. Just meat for the grinder.

Both. I remember a story in the news where a communist took a flag from someone’s house and burned it near the town park a couple of years ago.

NOTHING for a Nation that has allow Millions of its most Innocent be Murdered is not a good nation and definitely not one God will protect.

Life Begins at Conception for without that moment in time, when Man, Women, and God intertwine, no other moment is possible for that Individual!

I Will NOT Pledge my Allegiance (either) to the flag(stars and stripes) for the flag is a representation of a Government that has Gone totally Evil! My Allegiance is to God and One Nation under God, A Federal Government Restricted to the Constitution I Swore and Oath to Uphold and Defend Against the Very Enemy within, The Beast is the Federal Government (and in State Governments...) The Oath states Against Enemy’s Foreign or Domestic! I Stand With God and his Laws Not those of Men!

Oath for enlisted:

I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice.”

Oath to God: Baptism, First Communion, Reconciliation, Confirmation, Marriage, Anointing of the sick, and for some Holy Orders. His Laws The Ten Commandments, Love thy brother like thyself.

Remember this the next time you humble yourself to a Flag that Stands for Murder of the Innocent and Disdaining God and his Laws. God Bless

I would talk to them in such a way they’d forget what they were doing as I can reel off scripts and sound just like a DI. Way good fun...
