#1 It's interesting. No comments in 23 hours and 15 minutes.

No "colored bit of cloth" halfwit brain farts by your one-trick pony pet farce.

No "Yes, it stands for something and, as such, should be protected and defended." sentiments.

Just "we'll know the idjits when they burn it" comments on the other thread. Yeah, they're "idjits", and less. Far less. So is the laughable notion that everything is fair game with "free speech" - you all know, if you have any honesty or respect for honesty, there are many things which supersede this very modern change. Another loss for America and another win for PC constitutional progressivism.

I guess "Old Glory", in the name of touchy-feely, has simply died for most people who happen to reside in this land, by luck or whatever. Must be luck, primarily.

How sad.

The "free speech" thing is a two-edged sword.

You've proven it can kill concepts much greater than any single man. Concepts once courageously believed worth dying for. Literally.

Killed this fine post.

It can even kill dreams.

In fact, it's doing so every day. You often decry the Tranzi socialist assholes of Hollywood for precisely this incessant drumbeat of lost hope, intentional erosion of faith in institutions, endlessly defaming good people in broad swaths, endlessly suborning loyalty and destroying values, and the mountains of pure lies and fantasy.

Move over Widow Jones, Freddy Phelps has the "right" to stab you in the heart at the peak moment of your grief.

Free Speech, baby.

Get used to it.

Good luck with that.
