Certainly the American flag does not stand for socialism, nor does it stand for the Marxist principles advanced by the United Natiions; principles that this government endorsed by its participation in the creation of the United Nations. The Human Rights of the UN have replaced the Bill of Rights. Individual freedom has been replaced by a global socialist mentality. Capitalism has been successfully vilified with corporations run by government and UN (Global Comapct) mandate.
Our government operates under Treaties signed with the UN and continues to move this nation toward the globalist agenda.
The American Flag cannot be flown over such hyprocisy and such treason.
I would be very happy to be wrong. Please show be how. If I am not wrong, perhaps, all American Flags should be lowered.

  Cut and paste the similar comments you made during the Bush Administration...Don't have any? I doubt you will find anything you wrote that shows you would be willing to commit the crime of treason. If you dont want to live by the same rules us Democrats had to live with the past eight years; you need to leave the United States of America. We are not going to change the Country because are a sore loser;because you no longer want play fair and live with the Peoples Choice! If you no longer support your Country because of one election; get the hell out of here.

  I like the American flag, admire the American Constitution, and love my American neighbors. So much so that I chose to major in US history and politics in university
  
  I particularly like how they can settle their differences through the electoral process and under rule of law, while so many other nations gravitate towards extremism

  The last 2 years of the Bush administration the congress was controlled by the Democrat party leaders Pelosi and Reid. DEC of 2006 unemployment ( republican control ) was 4.6%, a barrel of oil $ 45.00 and the economy was going strong. The Dem's controlling congress in 2007 and 2008 is when the economy went downhill and unemployment reached 6.5%
  The question one must ask , were you better off in 2006 or today with a super majority democrat controlled congress and president with unemployment at 9.7% and the economy worsening
  
  Wake up, 6 years of bush was not as bad as it is today. please tell the truth unless you can't recognize what the truth is.

  NO, NEVER! I agree whole-heartedly with your comments, however, that's the people WE put in those offices - not the flag. The flag stands for something pure - a nation shall inherit the land so long as they observe God and are worthy to claim this land. It was under these precepts that the Constitution and the other sacred documents of this nation were founded upon. Now is the time to raise the flag higher. Not to puff up or complement the leaders, but rather to rally us, as the people, to the great cause of rescuing our country and flag from the certain doom they are imposing upon them.
  
  Our leaders have become a travesty, embarrassment and imps who are engaged in traitorous activities. A leader serves the people - not the self. Succoring special "earmarks" in bills and under the table politics is an abhorrence before God. It is OUR duty to remove them before He allows conditions to be imposed whereby this nation would no longer be free or recognizable.

  We as a people do not embarrass our flag, we as a people elect people to embarrass our flag for us, then we, use words like Socialism, to describe our country and its elected officials. We forget what our country was founded on. Have you ever taken the time to read the Constitution? Remember the three most important words WE THE PEOPLE. This great country of ours gives all of us the freedom of speech, which we do on here without even thinking of the ramifications of our words. To even suggest that we burn our flag and the Constitution of the United States of America, says that we as a people and a nation have given up on ourselves. For the people of United States of America to even suggest that we give up our constitutional rights, needs to go live in a country that has no rights. As long as we have a Constitution, and a flag that stands for Freedom, I will fight, and speak for what I think is right, and stand by my country and die for my country.
  
  The return of capitalism will not happen until there is a moral revolution in this country. We must rediscover and then teach the young the ideas associated with being free and independent citizens. Then and only then, will there be social justice in America.
  
  History of American Flag.
  
  For more than 200 years, the American flag has been the symbol of our nation's strength and unity. It's been a source of pride and inspiration for millions of citizens. And the American Flag has been a prominent icon in our national history. Here are the highlights of its unique past.
  
  On June 14, 1777, in order to establish an official flag for the new nation, the Continental Congress passed the first Flag Act: "Resolved that the flag of the United States be made of thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new Constellation."
  
  Between 1777 and 1960, Congress passed several acts that changed the shape, design and arrangement of the flag and allowed for additional stars and stripes to be added to reflect the admission of each new state.
  
  Act of January 13, 1794 - provided for 15 stripes and 15 stars after May 1795.
  
  Act of April 4, 1818 - provided for 13 stripes and one star for each state, to be added to the flag on the 4th of July following the admission of each new state, signed by President Monroe.
  
  Executive Order of President Taft dated June 24, 1912 - established proportions of the flag and provided for arrangement of the stars in six horizontal rows of eight each, a single point of each star to be upward.
  
  Executive Order of President Eisenhower dated January 3, 1959 - provided for the arrangement of the stars in seven rows of seven stars each, staggered horizontally and vertically.
  
  Executive Order of President Eisenhower dated August 21, 1959 - provided for the arrangement of the stars in nine rows of stars staggered horizontally and eleven rows of stars staggered vertically.
  
  Today the flag consists of thirteen horizontal stripes, seven red alternating with 6 white. The stripes represent the original 13 colonies; the stars represent the 50 states of the Union. The colors of the flag are symbolic as well: Red symbolizes Hardiness and Valor, White symbolizes Purity and Innocence and Blue represents Vigilance, Perseverance and Justice.

  Barack is a very dangerous man surrounded by very dangerous people, we will get them out of there and replace them, we can and will repair the damage they have caused and our work will be cut out for us after wards, re-educating our children, keeping the fools who put them in power from ever getting us this close to losing our Republic and making a commitment not to fall asleep at the wheel ever again. We are partially to blame but we can't give our children a lesser country than the one we inherited.

  Democracy is rule by the people. It's very simple. The people agree on problems and solutions. If one half of the people plus 1 decide to destroy the other half of the people, that's not democracy, that's war.

  Democracy is the only road to socialism and perhaps, thats based on the idea that when the people realize that they can vote themselves money the republic will end. Combine that with the idea that when the politician realizes that he can buy the vote with the peoples own money the vote become worthless.

It's that view that scares me most. America is imploding from the inside by folks that seem to think freedom is a playing field best refereed over by a benevolent government. I am just blown away by how many Americans are willing to trust government when in every instance they have shown to be corrupt and untrustworthy as well as incompetent.

  I agree with you Poppa Blues, BUT, to me capitalism is not blessings, it is the right for people to achieve within their abilities and desires. A capitalist doesn't just get "blessed" with things - he/she works hard, is creative, educates themselves and achieves those "blessings". Under socialism, you are told what you are capable of, where you are needed, what you will have or not have for the "common good". There is only individual freedoms and achievements under capitalism.

  Which co-incidence Ralph that it's on the same day as the revolutionary war or the Oklahoma bombing, or maybe the coincidence is that McVeigh picked THAT date because it was the beginning of the revolutionary war.
  
  It seems you want to choose the coincidence that supports your view, and that of the MSM, that the Tea Party is full of violent, hateful racists that want overthrow the government instead of a group of middles class people, the majority of which is women, and politically independents and democrats make up more than half of that group.

  It seems to me that leaving themselves open to the charge that they are memorializing McVeigh's OK City bombing would be counter productive to their 2nd Amendment cause. At the very least their choice of date is susceptible to misinterpretation and for the public to conclude, as I have, that they are a bunch of wingnuts. As you observed, picking that date did get them a lot of free publicity about their event. Most of it negative, however.

This was recently sent to all 50 State governers.

The Restore America Plan is a bold achievable strategy for behind-the-scenes peaceful reconstruction of the de jure institutions of government without controversy, violence or civil war. After consultation with high ranking members of the United States armed forces, the Plan is in the process of assembling the Guardians of the Free Republics and reinhabiting the De jure Grand Juries to:

Restore and reinhabit the de jure institutions of lawful government.
Terminate illicit corporations posing as legitimate governments, in particular the territorial jurisdiction United States Federal Corporation (corp. ref. 28 U.S.C. 3002) posing as the de jure United States of America.
Terminate all presumed powers of attorney to such corporations.
End the foreclosure nightmare (for borrowing against one’s own credit).
End tax prosecutions for resisting the transfer of private wealth to foreign banking cartels such as I.R.S. (former Puerto Rico Bureau of Taxation).
End street assaults against the sovereign People for failing to exhibit a State-issued confession of subject-class citizenship.
End all prosecutions which lack an injured party.
End admiralty prosecutions for kidnapping and other heinous crimes against mankind as “commercial crimes” against the corporate State under a contrived corporate color-of-law venue (corp. ref. 27 C.F.R. 72.11).
Terminate the intrusion of corporations posing as the state into every aspect of the People’s lives.
End the use of covert contracts such as Form 1040, car registrations, birth certificate applications, and bank signature cards which confess the signer to be a legal fiction subject of the United States Federal Corporation (“U.S. person”) that has waved his/her rights in favor of state-issued privileges.
End the use of deeds which classify the People as “tenants” on their own land, thereby transferring control to incorporated County registrars and tax assessors.
End the perversion of marriage into a commercial system of state-issued privileges through the so-called “marriage license” whereby incorporated “courts” presume the “right” to trespass on families and kidnap children.
End the hijacking of automobile ownership through DMV registrations which covertly exchange the divine rights of travel and ownership for the state-issued “privileges” of “driving” and “title.”
In place of all of the above, substitute sovereign identification, diplomatic immunity and sovereign passports to facilitate safe passage throughout the world free from corporate State molestation and terror.
Restore the People’s money and wealth from the banking institutions, war profiteers, and international loan sharks.
Instantly vest all mortgages, auto loans and personal business loans “issued” by members of the Fed. The state shall hold no paper on, or debts against, the sovereign People, directly or through its agencies and licensed banking institutions.
Instantly end all non-consensual and unlawful taxation including all taxes on the sacred rights of labor and privacy.
Empower and inspire the sovereign People to righteousness through such renewed abundance.
Issue orders to the military and police powers to enforce the Peoples’ divine rights of birth.
Reabsorb all de facto actors into lawful de jure capacity.
End the perverse act of requiring the People to pray to “courts” as is now required under corporate rules and traditions.
Restore the de jure judicial institutions including the district court of the United States and the one supreme Court.
Quietly mirror the strategies of 1933 thereby using their (our) institutions, military and public officials to undo eighty years of subterfuge without provoking alarm, controversy or armed conflict.
Return the military and law enforcement institutions to proper and lawful de jure sovereign authority from the clutches of corporate actors.
Forgive all corporate actors who repent for their State-sponsored crimes against mankind. Remove the recidivists from office.
Do all of the above, and more, peacefully, discreetly, quietly and honorably, behind the scenes, without public proclamations or provocative actions against a general public that is mostly unaware of the hijacking of their free de jure American republics, and their hapless media.

I'm late to the conversation, i'll just post my opinion on burning the flag.

From what I've read, people are arguing what the US flag stands for.

Let's see - the US government no longer stands for it's own constitution, which can easily be seen if we just look at the tenth amendment.

It does NOT stand for private enterprise - just about everything is regulated up the wazzoo.

And it doesn't stand for freedom the way it once did - we're torturing people in Guantanamo, massacring people over the world in wars we've started, and we've got over 700 military bases in over 130 different countries.

Should we burn the flag? I sure as hell would!
