even if you disagree with everyone, you have a right to express that.
All those soldiers died for that.
And - Obama has nothing to do with this. Since you brought it up, I know tons of folks who swelled with pride that we elected that guy.
Forced patriotism is not patriotism any more that faith forced at the tip of a knife or gun is not faith. Fact is also, there are bad cops - who some believe get away with lots of abuse, lots of abuse.
I respect Johnnie Law and have always had a great relationship with the men in blue. I have never been arrested. But I have the right to NOT stand (though I do) and not doff my cap (though I do) during the Anthem. I have the right to burn that flag - b/c that flag is the very symbol of that right.
Allah Hu Akbar. God Bless America.
