US Flag Not Always Seen As A Sacred Symbol
What I feel is that people should have more respect for the actual citizens the flag is supposed to represent. Flying the flag and telling each other to get (*)(*)(*)(*)ed is not what patriotism is all about. |
So saying that the flag is a symbol of what our nation's founding principles are is perpetuating a myth eh? So what does the flag stand for then?
I do not disagree that people should respect each other, but what does that have to do with what the flag represents, other than one main founding principle is that all men are created equal!
So what is the myth I am perpetuating? That all men are created equal?
My post said nothing about how closely we have adhered to our founding principles. Clearly we have ventured far from them at times, but that has nothing to do with the flag.
