Yeah, that redneck 'you don't support our troops, love it or leave it' bullshit grinds my ass to the bone too.

I support our troops. I support getting their asses out of that insanity alive! The Neocons do something very well. They dumb it down for the American public with catchy little phrases so the guy who doesn't want to think too much has something to grasp on too. "Soft on Terror!" "Support Our Troops!" "That's UnAmerican!"

In fact, when they want a distraction from how badly they're doing, they bring up bills like flag burning so they can wrap themselves in it like a holy cloak.

Here's the way I look at it. The flag that represents the freedom of a citizen to actually have the right to burn it in protest is the one I want to pick up and wave. And if the narrow-minded rednecks don't like it, they can go back to Dogpatch!....lol
