Ahhhh the old Nazi ploy. Nice try.

I love it when people who wish to protect our flag are called Nazi's

Well Pappey call me what you like I am an American and I dont agree with desecrating my country's flag ,you see I feel you have every right in this world to disagree with me verbally or to march or do whatever else you care toas long as it isnt violent. You dont have a right to destroy my country's flag, Not in this country anyway, If you wish to spit on and descrate that flag go to another country and do it, And STAY there.

I was OK with your opinion until you got to the part about
"draggin' the despoiler down the street by his hair and teaching him how real Americans feel."

Does that sound like freedom? Does that sound like freedom of expression?

I didn't call you a Nazi, I equated your oppressive, judgmental attitude to that of the Nazis, Khmer Rouge, and others.

An interesting point here, is that I have never stated that I agree with the practice of burning a flag, or cross, or book for the purposes of making a statement. I've never marched, and probably never will. I'm am saying though that every American citizen has the constitutional right to do so, if they are so motivated.

There are many things in this country, and the world, that I don't agree with, but I try to always be conscious of a person's rights.

As to whether or not I should stay in this country or leave, that is my choice, not yours. My choice to stay or leave is made under my terms and not yours. I am an American, born and raised, bona fide, card-carryin', gun-totin', votin', tax-payin', redneck American.

I have an American flag flying in my yard as we speak. I have a service flag in my window for my son, and I have a army footlocker in my basement filled with reminders of people, places, and events ... some should probably be forgotten, but I keep the reminders, hoping some day they will be understood.

Don't waste your words attacking me or my loyalty toward this country I choose as mine ... I am not an enemy of the United States; I am a loyal American citizen. I'm a veteran of two shootin' wars and couple of uprisings. I have defended and will continue to defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I'm not your enemy, and hope that I never am.

I totally agree with you. Sooner or later, the 80% will get this legislation passed and the 20% whose use for and belief in the constitution only extends to an opportunity to attack their country can lump it. I'm getting so used to having the GOP and conservatives in general equated with Nazism, the word itself has lost it's power.
