Actually, the little ingrate decided to put a cool, rebellious, anti-American, Anti-social patch on his jacket to pi$$ people off. He has know idea what he is standing up for, and she did the right thing and let him know. I don't see how she overreacted to 9-11 by this, this should have been her reaction with or without 9-11.

She did not start the confrontation, the kid did. The kid has his freedom of speech, he used it, and she has the right to answer back. Her profanity is, IMO, appropriate to the emotions the kid did need to hear. We in the right, have been far too silent for too long, and if 9-11 has changed this then so be it. The 9-11 event should never have been necessary for motivation.

Obviously not, based on the original poster having to inquire what the patch was. It wasn't an invitation; she took it upon herself to find out.

He has know idea what he is standing up for, and she did the right thing and let him know. I don't see how she overreacted to 9-11 by this, this should have been her reaction with or without 9-11.

It has nothing to do w/911, it has everything to do with her histrionics over a non-issue in an inappropriate venue.

She did not start the confrontation, the kid did.

Ted Bundy didn't murder all those women, porn did! He even said so!

The kid has his freedom of speech, he used it, and she has the right to answer back. Her profanity is, IMO, appropriate to the emotions the kid did need to hear.

Again, she came off like a pissy-pants brat, much like she describes the kids. She was on an attitude crusade.

911 is now a turning point in our history. It does not, however, constitute a license to act like an asshole to strangers in public establishments, nor did it before 911.

Some of us believe in manners as well as the Consitution, and it is likely (although I think this entire account is a complete fabrication) that in other circumstances she might have had to have eaten her McMeal with broken teeth.

dang straight man, I'm so tired of having people bash my country, and then have a bunch of self-proclaimed freedom seekers tell me it's wrong for me to be mad at them. It's unbelievable. Actually what's unbelievable is that someone would actually stand up for them.

And no, I'm not for some speach law making it illegal to bash on the United States. But all you making excuses for these kids I ask you one question. In your heart of hearts, and the depths of your soul, how do you feel when some waco burns the American flag, or gets on national television and tells us how terrible we are. If seeing/hearing about these things doesn't make your blood absolutely boil, why then we're definately not on the same page. And I'd bet your not on the same page as Thomas Jefferson (the REAL one) either. Just my 2 cents (after taxes).
