Not only are they burning the 'soldier' and flag, but the flag is also upside down as well.

'A nation in distress' indeed.

I feel a really large placard coming on with "This is how the LEFT SUPPORTS our TROOPS." And this picture.... Hmmm Memorial day?

When I was young and in school - I remember being taught about how our nation was founded, how our national anthem came about, and how to take care of the flag - by not flying it during inclement weather, etc.

We were taught that we were to respect the flag because it represented the blood of the men and women who protected our nationa as well as all the citizens of our nation.

That was why a person was not to leave it displayed out in the rain, or leave it out at night unless it was illiminated, was not to touch the ground, etc.

On this site, the rules are posted that tell citizens how to care for the flag: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=how+to+take+care+of+the+american+flag

This is one thing it says on the site: "The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart."

I believe we should go back to teaching these things as well as Make Every student recite the Pledge of Allegiance to the US so they can remember what a great country this is!

Perhaps we might even have less of these idiots trampling on the blood of our warriors and citizens!

Awww...they have cute little black hoods. I guess they didn't want to get confused with the KKK. (more sarc)

I know this is supposed to be an "exercise of one's first amendment rights", but in all honesty, I don't know if I would be able to restrain myself from physically attacking, and pummelling this individual with the intention to inflict severe bodily harm had I witnessed this in person. It is for the best that I steer clear of these types of anti-American hatefests.

What I can't understand, is why these people don't just pick up and leave the country (that they obviously hate) as they are free to do. I am sure the communist 'worker's paradise' of cuba would love to have these miscreants.
