You have the same RIGHT to make your own video expressing your points of what Health Care Reform should look like. Mine BTW would be a black screen with the words "NO HEALTH CARE REFORM".
However for ya to get mad that he is disgracing the flag or that he is giving the wrong message is fundamentaly wrong. Freedom is a double edge sword! We can not silence the other side of the coin and should not. Peaceful assemble and free speech is what we all have. |
We have the right to be angry about this, just as they have the right to spit on the flag. To say that we don't have the right to speak out against the increasingly anti-American tactics of Obama's Organizing For America is to seek to deny us our rights. Nobody has sought to silence the other side, nor should we allow ourselves to be silenced. To say it is "fundamentally wrong" for us to be angry shows a lack of respect for dissenting views, and the Constitution itself.
When the left tries to silence us, it is important to fight back, not allow them to quash our rights.
