State Senator Burkett is a Democrat.
Look, if Burkett's sons were arrested doing some non-political act of vandalism, I could chalk it up to youthful stupidity. (There's a lot of that.)
If this were a political act of vandalism taken against Republican campaign signs, I wouldn't be happy, but you know, people get carried away at the end of a campaign.
But knocking over flags memorializing our fallen soldiers?
This is moonbattery of the highest order--completely ineffective at changing policy, but rich in symbolism.
Maybe Burkett is part of the adult supervision wing of the Democratic Party--but like Larry Grant and his moonbat son Ron, you have to wonder how much of this irrational hatred of the United States was learned at the dinner table.

I agree. Make them Permanent Latrine Orderlies.
