On the Flag Controversy

There's only one thing wrong with the flag: people using it as an excuse to do violence to the constitution and suppress free speech, the right to peaceably assemble, and the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances. The flag is a symbol that I respect, the Constitution is a set of ideas that the flag symbolizes and which gives value to the flag. Discrediting and disgracing the Constitution discredits everyone that ever lived in America and struggled to keep us free and protected by the Constitution. Damn the symbol, love the substance!
