[QUOTE=Lenny2]They didn't die defending a flag, they died defending freedom.....the very freedom that allows me to burn the flag, or call the president an asshole, to vigorously protest my government's actions.

Well said.
I love my country very much most of time, I served my country for 3 yrs in the army - I belive any person in this country has the right to civil protest including burning of the flag.
While we might not agree that burning the flag is a good thing, It shouldn't be illegal.
"I find it un democratic and not patriotic to NOT protest against your own goverment in one form or another" Whether it be via the ballot box or in a picket / protest line."
