This photo was taken at a rally at the state capitol yesterday. The news will not show it and the Capitol Police and Homeland Security would not let Americans or any of the Veterans that were there do anything about it.
My husband and his friends were threatened to be arrested and were told they would be booked under federal charges if they did anything. I am sending this to you so that you in turn can start emailing it to every one on your list. It is totally uncalled for and people need to see it.
This is not about politics and rhetoric, it is about a direct threat to our country. Those of you that don't live in Arizona will maybe get a chance to see the other side of what the news is telling you. If this offends you, great, then I have truly accomplished what I set out to do.
I understand that sometimes we don't see eye to eye on certain things, but that is the right our forefathers fought for. I am an American before I am anything else. For those of you who choose to dismiss this, if you believe that this is okay, I believe you are a traitor to this country and everything it stands for.
I am not a racist and I am not a Nazi. This has nothing to do with race, it has to do with respect to the country that is continually taking you in and turning a blind eye to your agenda.
Homeland Security was designed to identify and defend America from Terrorist acts, yet yesterday it let illegal (and legal) citizens of this country desecrate the Flag. People were spitting on it, stomping on it and burning it with cigarettes. One soldier who had just returned from Iraq tried to grab the flag and was thrown to the ground by the Capitol Police and Homeland Security.
It amazes me how many people will stand against the American People while all the while prospering from our system and our government.

I am going to say something that most are not going to like.........
You have the right to say and express what ever you want here in America. Even if we don't agree with them. That is what makes this the best country in the world.
I know it is hard to watch people desecrate our flag and country. It is hard to watch these idiots express themselves in this way but they do have the right. Moreover, I would not ever want this right taken away. The problem is it is usually just a few people that make the NEWs when they act like idiots. More power to them.......... They can go back to where they came from.
With this said. I would like them to try this shit in their own country and see what happens. That is the part that angers me and yes I would like to kick the shit out of them. I have fought for much less. Even if some had the right to piss me off.

Yeah, and that is bull shit to the fullest. I would have to go there and get arrested. Then go to court and try and win. It is not easy to fight for freedom. Ask Mr. King, I guess we can't because he is dead...........

I agree with you Big R 100% on the freedom of speech, BUT I do think we have to draw the line some where. I have way to many friends and family members who fought and died for that flag. They are the ones that gave us our freedom and our wonderful service men and woman who serve today are the ones that keep that freedom for us. To have some foreign SOB take our flag and do something like that, they should be shot on sight.
Just a little side note.... about 6 miles from my house there is a guy that is flying our flag in his front yard right now. It is flying upside down. I would like to stick my size 12 boot in his ass for this disrespect.

Your neighbor is some what right for flying the flag up side down. It means that our country is Distress!!!!!! I really don't like the flag being used in any type of protest though.
We are in troubled times now. All I am saying is don't loos site of our freedoms. Even if we don't agree. If we start by taking one away then they might all start vanishing.
