Nah there are such things called Laws, you can break them but you may have to pay the price. does a speed limit deny your right to speed? It's not a big deal. So why do we have laws against certain flags? Isn't that denying free speech?

He is about one of the most annoying person, same as Rosie O'Donnel.

LOL @ I pledged allegiance to the flag every morning inside an internment camp. I would never burn one, but I'd die to protect the right to do so

If I were in the internment camp, I would rather defend the camp guards who broke the camp and set me free. How about that as a progressive?

He seems to forget who put him in the camp in the first place. He seems to hate everything Republican, which is odd.

Liberal logic 101

Flag Burners - freedom fighters

Veterans who view flag burners as domestic enemies - don't deserve any compassion.

Foreign concept to me.

By what? You asked me to post it, so I did. I'm not the one who waltzed into your post...lol. BTW, I previously posted one of the responses his tweet received, not his response.

Waltzed in? Its a message board, anyone can reply to anyone's post. I was just wondering what he had posted that had you up in arms. I had looked at his Twitter but didn't notice anything worth mentioning about the flag. I just saw it as someone telling a personal story about the flag on Twitter, nothing to act all offended by and curse about.

Why is Trump taking an un-American position on this?

Justice Scalia explains why people have the right to do obnoxious things:

Fifty-four pages, in about a day and a half. Because we don't have anything more important to worry about in this world, do we?

As for the tweet, not sure how it's laughable. Hell, there are veterans that say basically the same thing. If any veteran takes their oath seriously, they would stand behind burning the flag.
