I hope there's a special place in hell for those whose character is indicated by these actions.

Nope, ofcourse not!

And yet we are the "intolerant, closeminded" ones. It's such a good scam by the left. What hypocrits and idiots.

Really?
If it happened, I'm surprised it wasn't front page news all over the country.

Salvation Army flag defacedAnother headline writer who really needs to buy a clue.
(Okay, maybe it was my fault that my first thought was, "What does a Salvation Army flag look like and, why would anyone want to deface it?")

It seems to me it's worse than that: the post says it was the American flag that was defaced and placed upside-down. This is a direct insult to the entire nation. It is the anarchists and socialists (who use the dems. as their willing pawns) who are attacking your country, just as it is ours.

I thought that too, but it wasn't my place to re-write the
author's poor writing.
I would have said "US flag defaced at Austin Salvation Army"

Sometimes it seems a shame that the "army" part of "Salvation Army" doesn't make some provision for shooting back. But, these good people doing the Lord's work will persevere and prevail in their own gentle way.
To: Rakkasan1
all this does is encourages more and more people to
DONATE TO THE SALVATION ARMY!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Semper Fi,
