One of the 20 finalists in health care video contest run by Barack Obama’s campaign arm features a mural of an America flag splattered with health care graffiti until it’s covered completely by black paint. In the video – which is accompanied by the sound of a heart monitor pumping and then flat-lining – words such as “pre-existing conditions,” “homeless” and “death panel” ultimately obliterate the flag, which reappears on screen seconds later with the words “Health Will Bring Our Country Back to Life” on the blue field where the 50 stars usually are. According to the Organizing for American Web site, the 20 finalists in the “Health Reform Video Challenge” were chosen by a panel of “qualified” Democratic National Committee “employee judges.” Theses DNC judges are about as qualified at the President. |

Seems obliterating the flag is something dems do well lately.
As well as apologizing for having one. "Nobody believes the official spokesman... but everybody trusts an unidentified source." Ron Nesen |

Desecrating the flag - whether by splattering it with graffiti or burning it - is an abhorrent act to me, personally. But I'll defend someone's right to do it because I don't want to start down the slippery slope of limiting freedoms; that's certainly not what this country is about. You just have to take the good with the bad sometimes.

Seems it may depend on the type of flag.

Barracus, according to Lieutenant John Born of the Ohio State Highway Patrol, "The flag they tore down and set on fire did not belong to them and they were charged as a result of that incident."

That flag was born from the blood of heros, sustained by generations of American Patriots and deserves RESPECT not contempt at the hands of the Obamanation.

There are a few places and people who vehemently disagree and a wise person is going to know when this is a stupid act. Personally, I will tolerate you burning our flag if you wrapped yourself in it first...heck, I'll even provide the match. American by birth, Southern by the grace of God. |

Then where do you draw the line at what people are allowed/not allowed the freedom to do? This is still America, right? Stupid act or not, the freedom to burn the flag has been bought and paid for. |

You are free to burn it, others are free to react. American by birth, Southern by the grace of God. |

Yes people are free to react. However if their reaction is against the law, they are freely saying punish me.

A lot of violations go unpunished...serious crimes. First, you have to catch the violator. I will defend the Constitution, the flag and if necessary, my actions. I take responsibility for myself...It's is our flag, not a rag. American by birth, Southern by the grace of God. |

I think it says a lot about the Socialist Democratic Party that they would choose to honor a video of flag desecration...Change we can believe in...????

You are correct, it is not a rag, however the freedoms that I defend gives every citizen the right to burn it if they decide. Taking away that right is a going to cause slippery slope. Y.B.Y.S.A.I.A |
