well demonized doesn't sound like a legal term ... i hate to break it to ya but life can be harsh , people can have some pretty mean opnions , but as long as their not breaking any laws they have the right to them . As much as you make out the defenders of the flag to seem like the oppresive one's it's also the people doing the accusing who come off to me just as opressive .
Look don't we make people who come to our county and want to become citizens take the pledge of allegence ? Have we as a people grown so self centered and lazy that when it comes time to stand up for not longer than 30 seconds mumble a few words and place our hand on our heart that we are unable to do so ?
If we can require people who want to be americans to take the pledge , then i see nothing wrong with looking with disdian upon americans who were born here yet won't do so .
Please don't lecture a grown man on the harsh realities of life. I am keenly aware of the harshness of many Americans. Remember I am in the airline industry. I see too much harhness, cruelty and ignorance every day.
And if I had it my way, I would NOT require would be Americans to have to say the pledge. So your "if it's good enough for them" analysis doesn't cut it.
You lost me on the demonized comment.
I do agree that oppression has two sides.
Perhaps we should just agree to disagree with those opinions. 😉
