This goes back a way. but....It feels like the argument about burning the flag..

"That was the worst thing in the entire world..." about burning the flag... it "broke the law"..no it didn't. ....."It disrespected the flag" No, it is what the flag stands for...Ducksworth's message is the perfect response to this crap...................................
.....................but the crappers will never stop, they never have, and they won't stop now...

especially if the crappers are backed by the chief crapper of all time...................

Pay homage to the ideals America stands for and ensure it lives up to them rather than fetishisizing a piece of cloth.

Oh, this anti immigrant crap didn't exist 110 years ago when my grandfather came here. It really began legally with the Immigration Act of 1924. Before WWI all gained entrance ...1) if they could read a language..2) did not have tuberculosis..

That flag stands for freedom and equality. That is why grandfather came here, That is why most came here. And that is what I believe in now..
