Words simply fail me

What, truth is disturbing to you?  I bet most of you are the type who say the "N" word multiple times a day every time you see a person who's not white....
I'd say it'd be safe to assume that most of the subscribers here feel the same way..  You like guns..  You like Jesus..  You like confederate flags..  Yes,
stereotypes are there for a reason..  I'm sorry you find the trust offensive..  But you can't discount what many of you say on 200.. 

I left for a year..  It is disheartening to know that things have actually regressed with regards to how "human" some of you are.... 
Guess I wasted $14.95.....  Again.. 

I have found you painfully closed minded on a subject or two before. This is way past that. Hypocrisy is so ugly bro. In one sentence you are flaying people for engaging in actions that stereotype , using the N word. Then you stereotype with the next few lines. You set yourself up as the supreme knowledge about a bunch of subjects that are very deep and complex. You are intolerant of any view that differs from yours. While trying to set yourself up as some kind of defender of people enduring racial oppression. You make a huge assumption about a group of people based on next to nothing. Is that not by definition prejudice ? Before you reply make sure you can back up any claim you make <as if>. There is evidence in the form of testimony to support or prove mine.

Oh I well know Triton never served but my question was directed towards him pointedly. It should not have been quoted by another.

The Flag, let alone a flag draped coffin, has special significance in the military family. Both active, retired, and veteran. It should to the entire country, and to many it does, but lets face it. To many it doesnt. Hell you can even burn the thing legally. On a military base a Military member can be arrested just for not stopping and showing proper protocol when its being raised or lowered. Even if your in a car. On ANY Military base by ANY military member of ANY military service.

So anybody serving, like my son and the kids of many in AH, or have served, know this far more then those who havnt. And anyone who would post this  Clearly hasnt. My question was rhetorical. Because it doesnt matter where in Hell it happened at, Arlington, Wisconsin, Afghanistan, or the damn moon. Its all the same.

I dont want to see these people get crushed but they have clearly lost the right to wear the uniform.

Triton may not be a vet bro. His opinion on this subject has value for other reasons. He is very qualified by things in his life to have a valuable opinion. 22 years in service gives me some knowledge that may make mine almost as valuable as his. What i know about Triton personally makes me weigh and consider his opinion before I decide on mine. Before I recommend anything I would need to know a great deal more about the soldiers involved. Where it happened does make a difference. I disagree with Triton about it being less serious for a NG formation, for reasons stated in previous posts. The fact that he is a US citizen gives him the "RIGHT" to state it. Del enjoys the same right to quote you by virtue of being a US citizen as well. There is only one thing that pisses me off worse than some one burning the flag. That is some one trying to stop them. I believe in what I swore to defend.

If it wasn't such a powerful statement, I would agree . Rich you and I both look at that flag and see, the Constitution, the ideals,and what it used to be. Some people see the symbol of a government out of control. One that does not honor the oath of office they each and every one took. We see family or friends that have wrote that blank check when we took that same oath. They see people that are mouthing sacred words. We see people we care about ready and willing to cash that check up to and including the ultimate price because they took that oath. To them it is mere words that must be spoken to have their power or a paycheck. To us it is a sacred pledge we will honor for the rest of our days. What we see and what they see are both real. What is needed is for both groups to see the entire truth. Those two different perceptions are why I feel as I do about flag burning.

You speak gibberish and question my I.Q.?

As citizens of the U.S. they have that right given to them by God/Nature. It is so important it is the first right protected in our Bill of Rights. I took no other oath Semp. Sorry dude if you are not someone guaranteed that right. My country and my people are in enough trouble I can't help you defend your rights at the moment. Maybe after I help clean up my own mess I will help you with yours. U.S. citizens are historically known for doing that. If I did not decipher that gibberish correctly please forgive me. My dad was the intel analyst. I was a grunt. I just assumed you meant U.S. and not us.

Semp appears to be asking a question regarding freedom of speech in relation to being a citizen, however he composes most of his questions in a third grade, attention deficit disorder manner that makes them indecipherable.

Ahhhh Thanks Blu. I was hoping someone would come in and clarify what was asked. I assumed he was not in the U.S. and wanted my help with protecting his freedom of speech. No Semp there are other people in our nation that enjoy the protection of the 1st amendment. That clear it up for you ? Aint these Muppets great? They accept me just like as if I was smart too.
