There was a time when, if a person, or persons, burned the American flag "There was a time when, if a[n American] person, or persons, burned the American flag," it was out of principled anguish over something terribly, terribly wrong they thought their beloved country was doing and they were trying to get people to see how serious the problem was. That's may not be the case anymore, to the extent that anyone is still burning flags, that is. I imagine that flag burning has gone declasse now, just like everything else. Any American, natural born, or otherwise, should respect that allegiance. The allegiance is to the country. The flag is just a proxy. (It gives you a direction to face when you're pledging. <g>)

I pledge allegiance to the flag Of the United States of America And to the Republic for which it stands One nation, under God, indivisible, With liberty and justice for all. Now, you're telling me that slathering melted tar on people, or killing them, because you don't like their political opinions, is justice? Melted tar is hot enough to cause third degree burns -- you'd deliberate burn somebody bad enough to cause blistering all over their body? Jeest. What's next? Lynching?
