It’s just a wee bit too late - oh, say, about 50 plus years too late - for any liberal to have anything to say about being less than punctilious in respecting the flag.

Indeed. 50 years ago I was a young child. That half century has seen a lot of change with respect to the flag. I remember my older brother, now deceased, warning me to be oh so careful not to let my toy flag touch the ground, else it had to be destroyed. He was deadly serious. It was a profound, pervasive respect, the very air we breathed, and young people alive now do not really understand what it was like before the war protest years. Such respect does not come cheap, and if it is ever restored, it will be through the the relentless commitment and sacrifice of both our men and women at arms, and patriotic civilians like Sarah Palin.

Someone needs to produce that pick of Bill Ayers stomping on the flag.

Miserable Cretin.
