  • Flag? So what

    It's sad that we glorify someone for saving a flag, when no one seems to care that GW Bush and D Cheney are pissing on the constitution.

    Sure, soldiers fight for our country, but why fight for a flag when the Constitution is what actually matters.

    Burning a flag means nothing. Breaking the law of the land is unforgivable.

    • Thanks, Rick Monday

      When this occurred, it was against the law and even if the gutless, spineless Supreme Court overturned it in Texas, it should be against the law. Try that in the South here and they would be arrested for arson in the least, and I dare say that I would be arrested as well for assault. Mr. Monday was much more composed than I would've been and I am still proud that he "blatantly" took matters into his own hands.

        • Camel-cazzie

          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.

        • actually you'd better study up

          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.

        • Your a pig, cazzer!!

          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.

        • so really....

          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

        • ok rubbertech, whatever you say

          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

        • Cazzer

          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?

        • good point but...

          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

      • Thank you Mr. Monday

        I was 12 in 1976. Now I have a 22 yr old son serving in Iraq. I didn't now about what you did at the time but seeing it today, I thank you because your actions that day you honored the son I hadn't even dreamed of at the time. I hope you understand how proud I am to be an American and to have raised an American Soldier.

        • playme-

          Anyone who has ever taken pride in the country never stops, regardless of its actions. I wouldn't expect anyone from outside the country to understand. guess what... I was born in America, I will always be from America, and I will gladly die here in America.

          • To playme:

            There never has been a tes of racial or cultural purity to declare an American, it is truely one of the few countries that one can go to an become an American. This is the reason for the vast contributions to modern life made by people of all races, religions, and both genders that have been made by Americans.
            We have the freedom to make our own political mistakes and not love our leadership but still respect our institutions that make us proud, even when we do not agree with our government. So, it is to those petty, churlish runts I extend my middle finger on both hands and accompany that gesture with a hardy F*** You moron!!!!

            • Guess what?

              I was born in America. I'm an American citizen and proud of it. The same people who rip America would jump on the next plane over and immigrate.

                • The way things are now in America

                  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.

                • People can leave anytime!

                  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.
