This video makes my blood boil!  People have been killed over desecrating our flag and now one of our own political parties finds it OK to do this to make a point.......How do you think our Military members will feel about this?  I have a pretty good idea.......

This list of reasons to vote against this party continues to grow longer......

First of all (and excuse me for pointing out what should be pretty obvious), but that's not a flag, it's a painting of a flag. There is a difference.

More importantly, there's a simple message here addressing how and why health care reform is important. You may not agree with it. Fine. But to reduce this video to a mindless attempt to desecrate the flag requires a conceptual stretch that borders on the delusional.

On this part of the forum, delusion is almost a prerequisite. I was in the military, and have to say that I was defending freedom of speech in the broad sense, not just the narrow sense that fit my own personal views. Very, very difficult to maintain that vision sometimes though.

Actually I believe that this does qualify as flag desecration.  Which is legally allowed. 

Not surprised that the DNC thinks that desecrating a national emblem is fine in an attempt to promote it's policies.    That speaks volumes about them.

so if someone paints a disturbing picture of an young child, then we should be okay with it? I am sure a lot of people would have a problem with it, so not sure of your point.

Oh and it is not healthcare reform, it is free healthcare paid for by those that work, after the government has taken their cut and told you what treatments you can get. Wake up! Insurance is just that (risk management) and no not everyone can afford it- I would agree to pay for those who can't afford it for critical needs, but not sure about this:

"I haven't had health care in like seven years and I think that if he had passed this a long time ago I'd have been able to see a doctor," he said

If affordability is the issue, nationalizing it is not the answer- H1N1 vaccine anyone?

Has anyone noticed that our elected government officials aren't part of this new, super good, healthcare plan?  Nope, they get a seperate one because they feel that they deserve something better.....
