1. That is not a U.S. flag. Look again, without the knee-jerk response.
2. You cannot infer from that what the person was thinking or meant by it. It could mean a number of things, but by all means please apply the meaning you want.
3. The Tea Party wouldn't trample a flag, they prefer to trample dissenters themselves.
I for one am very unhappy with what our nation has become. Does that mean I hate America? Some would say so.
If you think walking on a flag is wrong, don't do it. But if someone else does it, how and why does that impact you? If I was in a position to do so, I wouldn't care whether I walked on a flag. My country is strong enough to tolerate a few footprints and a symbol IS just a symbol. Move along. Next.
But my how quickly people twist this into us vs. them thinking like in post 4. Why are there so many people for whom the creation of an enemy is a near daily occurrence? It's a difference of opinion, not a deliberate act of war.
