Probably made in China.

Meh. Nobody cares about Lil Wayne or the American flag anymore (which was definitely made in China).

Ok.....I've had enuff of this...............



I swear....we are doomed as a nation.......and just look at the ignorant masses just standing there cheering him on.....idolizing him. A country that has afforded this moron all the riches and fame he wanted! Money that could allow him to live elsewhere!! But where does he live???

Hypocrties!! A his stupid fans are so brainwashed they don't see it!! See those people standing there?? That's our future!!
They're not our future, bro. In 20 years they'll be in the same place they are now.

Anyways, you're contributing to his money stash by giving him publicity. Just ignore him.

The dude is just exercising his constitutional rights, whether or not I like what he's doing. (Hint...I don't)

Are the constant calls for seccession any less traitorous?

Curious, isn't it?


Righties,
What is worse: stepping on the American flag or leaking America's classified, security information to other countries?

Maybe I need glasses, because when I look at the video contained in the link you provided I don't see anyone "cheering him on." Onlookers have blank stares on their faces, from what I see. If You'll see in the video that he didn't "stomp" on the flag, either. He walked on the flag while performing his music video. I can understand someone being upset if someone walks on the flag because I think that's disrespectful, but stomping on a flag is far more aggrivating. He didn't stomp on the flag. Huge difference. But if we truly believe in our rights guaranteed by either the Constitution or Bill of Rights we shouldn't object to someone exercising their rights ... even though what they do is objectionable to us. All too many men and women have given their lives, and hundreds of thousands have been wounded ... so that we have the right to either fly the flag proudly ... or stomp on it. If you love this country, you'll understand these things.

There are better things to get upset about. I'm not like you. I can't get my panties in a bunch over every little thing that happens.

If Lil Wayne wants to do this, he can. It's not illegal. I'm actually doing a better job of discouraging this behavior by ignoring it than you are by getting mad about it. Anyone who dances on the flag just wants publicity.

The best reason for not desecrating the American flag is because it stands for your right to desecrate it.

This country suffers from a serious case of ingratitude; we've had too many generations go by whose freedoms haven't been challenged.
