The day I can no longer protest the actions (or inactions) of my government or country by burning a mass-produced piece of cloth (probably made in China btw!) bearing our national emblem is the day that freedom from oppression and the freedom to express ourselves has died.
Don't let these fake-patriotic conservative republican maneuvers come to pass!
Go out onto your own yard this July 4th and declare to all that fear will never conquer us and that patriotism is having the will to do whatever it takes to maintain the freedoms and equality for ALL that are the essential core ingredients to our democracy!!!
To ban ANY expressions of freedom or protest (as long as those expressions do not harm anyone) is to abandon those core beliefs and is the very definition of unpatriotic...
