Rick Monday Tribute 1976

I don't know what country or planet you hail from if you say that it's legal to burn the flag. You better study up on that one, especially here in the South as well as the majority of the other states. The law here is entitled desecration of a venerated object. Not only does this include a state or national flag, but also places of worship or burial. Try getting your facts straight, if you live or plan to live in the United States. As far as those two turds attempting to burn the flag, if they were here, the only thing that would be burning is their butts from all of the buckshot that they should've been peppered with.

i don't know what planet you're living on...ha that was good. let me remind you, it is not me you are arguing with here, but the supreme court. In the 1989 case of Texas v. Johnson, the supreme court decided that burning the flag was an expression of the freedom of speech, and thus legal. Look it up if you want, it's the truth.

If you sit at the table and partake of the food provided to you by the people who died in honor of that flag, then you are required to say "Thank You". If you do not, regardless of what politics you disagree with today. Then you are an ungrateful, selfish, self centered, childish, uninformed, brat of a PIG.

my food wasn't provided by people who died for our flag. my food was provided by the hard workers of stop and shop who I do support greatly. why i fail to have respect for the flag is because of what it stands for, more than anything, is the original colonist who came to this country and raped and killed thousands upon thousands of completely innocent human beings, people just like you and me. i will solute those who fight wars for my protection, but not those who fight them unjustly or inhumanely

but that doesn't mean that I am not thankful for those who have defended their lives for this country. simply put, these two men have the completely freedom to express their views in any way which suits them, it is wrong and in fact illegal to rob them of this right

Mr. Monday has those same rights too. He didn’t take away their rights; he was simply expressing his own. Is he not allowed his freedom of expression?

on his own? yeah sure, go for it! I would totally support that, but while limiting others? thats not cool. the only irrefutable argument for Mr. Monday was that he was worried about the fire hazard or the trespassing on the field, the two laws that the guys broke, but as shown in the interview, that was not the case

There are even more people now in America who would do what he did. I can tell you this, he doesnt regret it, will never regret it and reguardless of how our American media makes it look, America is prouder today than ever before. Unfortunately, our media chooses to show the world only the newswothy stories. Happy, content and proud does not make the news.

yeah i disagree rubbertech, i am very very embarrassed to be american, playme is right. there is no happy, content, and proud in this country.....just rape, drugs and death...and poverty...and corrupt governments...the list goes on

That's the great thing about our country, you can leave it at anytime you don't like it or are embarrassed to be an American. Our ancestors left Europe because it was not a good place to live. You canalways go back.
