you're 'concerned' about flag burning -- this is what you should be 'concerned' about

[Uncle Joe]

80. I have some qualms with the case in Oakland as it wasn't their own flag which they burned, however

there is a logical motivation in some cases to piss people off, simply put because the greatest enemy to any progress or reform is apathy; much of that being a deliberate product of the continous, corporate media Sominex induced propaganda effort.

The corporate media in too many cases will make sure you don't get your message across and the people won't know because they have been put to sleep by the so called "Fourth Estate" watchdogs for democracy.

Sometimes it takes a bucket of cold water to wake them up.

I've come to the conclusion that flags have become virtual idols in the U.S. with much more emphsis placed on the Stars and Stripes by the corporate media than is focussed on the Constitution and the critical issues of the day.

I vividly remember the questioning of Candidate Obama's patriotism in a national debate because he decided in wearing or not wearing a flag lapel pin, excuse my language but that's how fucking ridiculous the worshiping of the flag had become.That kind of thinking was/is a direct descendent of the McCarthy Era Witch Hunts when the First Amendment was totally trashed by a flag waving Congress as the people's lives and careers were ruined because of their political or alleged political opinions.
