We will put our flag out as usual. If we don’t stand up to the anti-American anarchists trying to take over the country, then they will.....
This is absurd. Or paranoid. Or both.

I'm a registered Democrat. I fly the U.S. flag on holidays. My neighbors across the street (absolutely not Democrats) never hang a flag outside. Should I target them, do you think, for being anti-American?

Not enough in the world for this post.

Let's just hope none of the relatives of the millions of peasants you folks carpet-bombed in Laos are walking by when that flag is up.

Because a lot of people are protesting police misconduct which is dramatically lower than it used to be?

Come to realize -- it's common in many country's to use that method so no surprise really.

That suggests to me Canadians are less likely to be losers because lots of things from around the world. -- lol.
i don't know if i can agree, my God have you seen what they have done to Bacon. /sigh

Is it dangerous to put out a flag or show patriotism this Fourth of July?

Of late, of course, but do it anyway. Don't let people intimidate you into submissiveness. It's no way to live. You can handle whatever comes.

It is almost as dangerous as walking your dog on a sunny day: DON'T DO IT!!!! Lighting can hit you even from the blue skies.

Most of the comments here have me not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Like the Austin Lounge Lizards sing "We've Been Through Some Crappy Times Before".

One sure fire way to let your community go to ruin is being afraid to speak up due to fear of retaliation. IMO, that's how the drug dealers ruin a neighborhood or town or dictators take over a country.

What other nation on this earth has so many different kinds of people with their various beliefs, customs, languages, religions, etc living and working together?

Admittedly some of the hate filled name calling on here are demoralizing. I suspect if we were all having dinner at a friend's house that wouldn't happen.

Put out your flag. If somebody burns it, get another one. And keep on getting another one. No need to shoot anybody. Cameras will get you all the evidence you need.

Any movement will keep doing what they are doing until somebody tells them to stop it or they make their point. A little introspection may be in order.

IMO the intricacies involved in all the conditions cops and teachers encounter in a days work are too much for any one person to be an expert on. Society expects too much from them.
