Nelson Donnell of West Gardiner, ME You see, I just knew that the flag lovers wouldn't respect the right of other people not to practice idolatry, their government mind control programming and propaganda just doesn't allow them to.

You may think that the flag is what makes you and your fellow idol worshipers a country, but the bottom line is that it's the threat of the use of guns and other forms of coercive deadly violence being applied to others that has afforded flag lovers the protection they needed in order to worship a piece of cloth.

But a flag won't stop bullets, it never has and I doubt that it ever will, no matter how closely you wrap yourself in it.report abuse

lyn ric of ME I respect everyone!!!!

But I do disagree with you, the flag is not just a symbol, it is the reason we are a country, it is why men and women fight for.

dont be rude show a little respectreport abuse

Nelson Donnell of West Gardiner, ME And of course, the flag lovers, the military and this country will likewise reciprocate the respect for the non-flag waving, non-military, non-idol worshiping people of this country too, right?

This flag worshiping is just more symbolism over substance, that's all. The next thing you'll be wanting us to do is to worship some mountain because you think your god resides up there.report abuse

lyn ric of ME I understand where he is coming from, it bothers me when I see the flag mistreated. I agree with one of the other comments I have gone to football, baseball games and hear people laughing and talking during the national Anthem. The person handeling the flag probably did not mean any disrespect and perhaps had not ever received training in the correct manner as to do it

I live in a town that does not have flags flying on our main streets. Yes it is at the city hall but not noticable as you drive thru town as it is other towns, Bowdoinham, Richmond, Winthrop to name a few, they proudly fly flags all year.

I challenge everyone, to show and teach respect for the flags, the military and our countryreport abuse
