This Glock does not bother me.

This just makes my blood really boil. I have family members who gave their lives for this country and this flag. I have not seen the flag of any other country defaced in public in just this way, only America's. Wearing it on your shoes? Who the hell are the makers of these products? And who the hell are these illegal SOB's who break into our country, steal our Social Security benefits, vote in our elections, drive with no insurance, crowd our hospitals and doctors offices and school rooms, criminalize our neighborhoods, with no consequences for their horrific behavior, and then wear our flag on their dirty stinking feet? In most cultures feet are considered unclean to begin with. The two SOB's I saw wearing these this past week in Tampa were both Hispanic, both were sloppy pigs, one a female in a grocery store, the other a male in a doctor's office. And their U.S. flag sneakers were dirty. I have had it. This is deliberately giving Americans the middle finger in public. It's the only way I can see it. It's raw defiance and hatred. I cannot believe this degree of blatant disrespect is unintentional. Yet it is advertised as being "patriotic". What would happen if I walked around with the image of the Cuban or Mexican flag on my shoes? Just how long do you think I'd last?
try those pics on Yahoo and you WILL be flagged.
Trump sold shoes with American flags. I considered buying them.
In manners such as these, considering intent is important.
The radicals who burn the American flag are protected by the 1A. Yet they have evil intent. As you noted 4Runner, their actions are disrespectful to those who died for that flag.
But what about the flag on shoes (and clothing). Some are doing that just to make a fashion statement. That’s not evil, just in poor taste. But I’m guessing most of them are patriots in their own way. Good intentions there.
In post #23, it should read: In matters such as these…
But I suppose autocorrect had a point there. Manners plays a part, too.
This Glock does not bother me.
The shoes aren’t “flags.”
You’re an idiot.
Liberals painting a rainbow flag on the street
Nothing wrong with the sneakers or any apparel that has the flag on it as long as it’s not purposely shaming the flag. I have shirts with the flag on it, hats and even a pair of motorcycle boots with the flag on them and I wear them proudly as a patriot and veteran with 38 years of service both active and in DoD.
4runner salutes every one of these clothing items out of respect for the flag.
He impresses little kids with that until he launches into them in a drunken stupor about how unAmerican they and their parents are.
I hate it when they wear them on my lawn. I have to scream at them: “Get off my lawn.”
It doesnt work.
Technically it’s not a flag. It’s just the colors in a stylized representation of the national colors.
Not that I’d ever wear them. I do however have a couple stylized shirts that come out on occasion.
None of those shoes depict an actual flag. You are visually challenged. They use graphic aspects of the flags but it is not the same thing. Your hatred for—and desire to diss—the OP, outweighs your limited intelligence.
It doesn’t bother me either. So, what the hell is your point?
I never said it was an "actual flag." Nor do I think the conversation was limited to "actual flags."
You are visually challenged.
No need to be insulting.
Your hatred for—and desire to diss—the OP, outweighs your limited intelligence.
I post some photos of sneakers, and you interpret that as a "desire to diss" and even "hatred."
Doesn't take much to trigger you, does it?
What a bunch of imbecilic disrespectful leftwing morons have infected Free Republic. None of you can even recognize when our enemies shame you to your face. And like the useful idiots that you all are, you buy into the disrespect as an acceptable fashion statement. And justify the disrespect for the flag and what it stands for as “freedom of choice”. You make me sick. You can’t make an exception for the American flag, every damned thing that your eyes fall upon just has to be grist for your narcissistic mill. You left wing mf’rs all need to ESAD.

It seems YOU are ignorant of the difference between an actual flag and a decorative facimile. None of those garments are a complete flag. I am pleased with patriotic clothing.
