The right to protest is sacred.

No one should have the right to burn or desecrate the American Flag in protest. It doesn't take away from someone's right to protest. Protecting the flag shows respect for those who fought and died for our country, and it also shows respect for our great country, for which the freedom to protest is guaranteed.

I disagree. The desecration is usually done by some misfit, who has never held a job, has never paid their way, certainly has never served in our military, and just finds glory in being obnoxious.
Have you ever found someone desecrating our flag for a noble cause?

All this shows is that America has many enemies.

Yeh, sure. We have lost standing and respect with all of the dictators and terrorist supporting nations, and the weak kneed European nations. America has always led the way, while most of the world has always gotten into trouble because of their corruption or because of their stupidity. America has always had to bail out the rest of the world.
You want to appease the tyrants of the world.
America is very fortunate to have a president with conviction, courage and insight, during these very dangerous times.
If the Democrats ever get power back in this country, it would be disastrous. |
