Standing here all alone in center ring. Hands held high in a victory salute to the flag to which I have pledged my allegiance and to the nation for which it stands.

You can proclaim the ideas nothing but symbolic scraps of paper and cloth
I did not "proclaim the ideas nothing but symbolic scraps of paper and cloth". You, in fact, seem to be making precisely that misidentification. Destroying a flag DOES NOT destroy the nation or ideas behind it. They are still there, just as serviceable as before. As long as the PEOPLE of this country believe in those IDEAS and are willing to defend them, they are safe.

And no bonfire will change that.
