A teacher, Scott Compton, in his
South Carolina high school class, decided to disgrace the American flag and
this is what came from the above link mentioned:
When
Michael Copeland overheard his teenager talking about what her honors II
English teacher did with the flag in their classroom, he pressed for details.
"He
drew a couple of symbols, like one of them was a cross, and he said, 'What does
this represent,' and everybody said, 'Christianity,'" said Copeland.
"Then
he proceeds to take down the American flag, and said, 'This is a symbol, but
it's only a piece of cloth. It doesn't mean anything,' and then he throws it
down on the floor and then stomps on it, repeatedly."
"I asked what was he trying to get, the point across?
And she said, 'I don't know,' and he said, his explanation was there would be
no consequences, it's just a piece of cloth that doesn't mean anything."
My question is, how long do we let this kind of “free speech”
go on in this country? When is enough
really enough? Have we really lost that
much pride in being American that even our children have to be subjected to
things like this?
I am so sick of people trampling on a flag that myself and
others not only fought for, but many have also lost their lives for. This has gone way too far and must be
stopped. I cannot stand the fact that “Old
Glory” is disrespected in a country that I so much loved as a child and was so
proud to serve her when I swore an oath to protect her when I became a United
States Marine.
I remember while living in California, I saw people in
Monterey flying the flag upside down while President George W. Bush, Jr. was in
office. I was scolded at when I began
yelling at them to fly it correctly because I was told “this is free speech and
you can’t tell us how to fly the flag!”
Seriously, I served my time overseas and you tell me that I can’t tell
you how to fly the flag that I swore to protect? In my eyes, this is treason and should be
illegal.
Then you have illegals today, flying the Mexican flag over
the American flag, in my country. To us
who fought in the military, it says they have taken over that country, but to
America, it’s called free speech.
This is was another
major reason I started a new political organization; to protect America. We swore to do so, yet nobody in the foreign
countries are trying to attack us anymore because they’re doing it right here
in our own backyard and many people refuse to see it. It’s a political battle, one that neither the
Democrats nor the Republicans care for the American people. They have their own agenda and to let people
disgrace our flag is not only a slap in the face of each American that’s
living, but it’s a slap in every American’s face that have fought and died for
this country. If this doesn’t disgust
you, then you are truly not American and don’t belong in this country.
Now, I’m not only asking, I’m pleading that each of you who
reads this article, to visit our website and join us. Show that America still has people who really
care for her and will not let her die on her knees. Show that you really care about your children’s
future and you will not let anyone destroy this country worse than what it
is. We can only get stronger and make it
better from here with each and every one of you helping.
Thanks for reading and I hope to hear from each and every
one of you soon.
