I don't think it's right to have a us flag for underwear, but paint an American flag on the side of a car is ok, if it's out of respect. It's all about repect

You are forgetting something.. allot of these politicians no longer have respect for the the american citizen.. they hold us in contempt or think of us as pawns and simply a Pocket to Pick.... we are the soldiers .. people like rochard's famliy serve because they respect and believe in a "cause" the cause for which the flag represents... but when a politician or disrespects the people then the people should have the right to show their disgust. A couple of members of my family were lost in WWII one of which was in normandy.
As far back as our we know, every generation of my family has served in a branch of the U.S. Military including my mother father and one brother, My grand father on my mother's side and her uncles. I don't know how far back it goes and most likely wont ever find out once the new law goes into effect that restricts citizens from birth and death records.
I feel personally and so does every member of my immediate family including my extremely conservative republican father (lost a lung for the Koren Conflict) who worships Rush Limbaughs feet that It's our flag to burn and not the governments to restrict us from doing so..
To take it away is to say "the flag is more important than the Freedom and Liberty for which it stands"
