Flag Lovers

I see so many U.S. Flag Code violations today and every day by those who claim to "love the flag" it makes my head spin.
I doubt if they've ever took the time to read it.

But by God don't you dare step on it or burn it.

...or made into commercial products. Or flown on vehicles tearing it to shreds.

These so called "patriots" are a joke.

I'm speaking to the hypocrisy.

Agree, but only the flag is the flag. Everything else is just a statement - of some kind.

...a veteran was screaming at them that he fought to protect their rights and they didn't have the right to step on that flag.

Oh, the irony and cognitive dissonance ...
