What ever you are selling Glenn, most of the world doesn't want, even with your laughable dramatics.

If I'm wrong, I apologise. But it seems disrespectful at least.

Ever. And if it does, protocol dictates that your are supposed to destroy it (by fire). Am I right?



from
http://www.vfw.org/Community/Flag-Education/

Do not let the flag touch the ground.
Do not fly flag upside down unless there is an emergency.
Do not carry the flag flat, or carry things in it.
Do not use the flag as clothing.
Do not store the flag where it can get dirty.
Do not use it as a cover.
Do not fasten it or tie it back. Always allow it to fall free.
Do not draw on, or otherwise mark the flag.

Flag Disposal:
1. The flag should be folded in its customary manner.
2. It is important that the fire be fairly large and of sufficient intensity to ensure complete burning of the flag.
3. Place the flag on the fire.
4. The individual(s) can come to attention, salute the flag, recite the Pledge of Allegiance and have a brief period of silent reflection.
5. After the flag is completely consumed, the fire should then be safely extinguished and the ashes buried.
6. Please make sure you are conforming to local/state fire codes or ordinances.

You don't let Old Glory touch the ground, because by protocol that's dishonoring it.

Of course what Beck does is certainly dishonoring the flag, but at least he wasn't letting a real flag touch the floor.
