Symbolism to the protocol and respect of our flag is nothing more than respect in this country, and all the men and women who have died defending it. I disagree whole heartily to the "totality of freedom" America has been turning into.

If you say you don't have to pay respect to the flag, like in this case, everyone jumps to their defense as having the freedom of speech to do it. However, Shockey's words of disagreement somehow isn't freedom of speech. I don't get it....

Yep. Dumbass confirmed.
