Actor Jon Voight paid tribute to the American flag after a singer argued that the flag should be changed because it “no longer represents democracy and freedom.”
“Our flag is pride, glory, freedom, and no one will destroy her stars and stripes of blood, sweat, and tears. No one,” Voight said in a video posted to Twitter. “Our flag is our greatest truth. Our greatest past, our greatest trust, our memory of the greatest American heroes, who won the battles we shall never forget.”
The actor slammed people who suggested the American flag be redesigned days after singer Macy Gray called Old Glory "tattered, dated, divisive, and incorrect," arguing that it "no longer represents ALL of us.”
“I read that there are some who want to destroy our flag. Yes, destroy. This is discussed. To think that one could suggest such horrors. This is a Left mentality with a scornful soul of racism to dare try turn our flag to a flag of negativity," the 82-year-old actor said, later describing the flag as a “sacred bond connects the land of the free.”
"We will wave her strong. We will wave her with dignity, for she is and always will be the red, white, and blue. And every child who is born will remember the sacrifice their ancestors won, the Civil War, the righteousness of the American dream. God's dreamland of the free, God's glory."

Well, the Stars and Stripes was replaced in the South for a few years, but today’s airheads hate those flags, three versions + Battle Flag even more!
Gray is an airhead stoner liberal, so of course the media gave her comments coast-to-coast exposire. Sickening.
Macy Gray and all the other people who are so unhappy here should find another country they like better.
Jon Voight is a national treasure.
There are very few, but they always seem to be there, when America needs them most.
I would bet that a Go Fund ME page would raise enough $$$ for her to have a ONE WAY ticket out of here.

Might I suggest Somalia?
Voight should move to Oregon and run for governor.
This isn’t a small thing. A flag isn’t just some decorated piece of cloth.
Recall the warning of this in James Clavell’s “The Children’s Story.”
