Since the Constitution is just a god damn piece of paper, isn't the flag then just a god damn piece of cloth?
Seriously, I understand the values that it is supposed to represent and I find the real desecration of it in the reckless use of our military. Our brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, etc have been sent to die in third world countries for the sake of paranoia and war profiteering for decades.
In light of that, it really is just a god damn piece of cloth.
There are far worse things to be upset over. Be thankful you weren't born on the wrong side of an American military action designed to "bring you democracy". Be even more thankful that you weren't born on the wrong side (or the "right" side) of an actual brutal dictatorship or genocide.
Oh, the people around me and their first world problems. Somehow I don't feel as sorry for them as they feel for themselves.
People like yourself are a textbook example of those who deserve neither freedom or security.
As you wrap yourself in a comforting, hermetically sealed, morally self congratulatory cocoon of leftist fantasy, ahistory, and the cultural Marxist/postmodern rejection of the classical disciplines of the intellect, someone is going to have to protect the rest of the culture from your influence, and preserve your right to seek, in your anointed womb of indoctrinated vacuity, the destruction of the rights and liberties of your fellow citizens. I'll be happy to assist in protecting your right to seek the destruction of my rights, as I understand that, in the end, the freedom to speak lies, falsehoods, and nonsense in the name of a cause is best resisted by more speech exposing, correcting, and analytically dismantling the lies, falsehoods, and ideological fluff.
It appears to be the lot of free born, informed, intellectually engaged conservative Americans to keep both the Eloi
and the Morlocks under control.
