Bush Desecrates US Flag

If Bush wants to sign a flag for a person who likes him... it's fine with me... as long as it is not displayed in that fashion... and its just a bity flag so I've no concern there...
I don't see the issue...
 
I'm willing to bet that virtually all of you have violated the sanctity and rules of the Stars and Stripes at one time, as we all have, acciental, intentional or out of pure ignorance alone. Have you ever worn clothing with the flag on it? I'm sure you have. I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, that it is a violation. If in fact I am wrong, or have misinterpreted what I've read and been told, then I shall take full responsibility for it.
 
I think what Bush and co. and what the last few presidents have done to the Constitution & Bill of Rights far outweighs one small act of signing some miniature flags, lets focus on the metaphorical defecation/desecration on those sacred objects. People vest too much emotion into symbols anyways, but thats just MHO.

OMFG you Bush haters are morons. Seriously.

So, the flag which flew at the Pentagon and subsequently went to Kandahar with the Marines and was signed by hundreds upon hundreds of people with messages of support and condolences was "desecrated"?

The spirit and the word of the law are often different. Perhaps you Bush haters would do well to learn the nuances.

Geeze, I've been labeled a Bush-hater after this post...

If someone burning an American flag in protest can be considered going against the Flag Code, then so can Bush writing on one...right? Heh...I figured this would get a rise out of some people, but I guess it backfired. I know that flag burning can be referred to as desecration...I figured, technically, according to the letter of the Code, this was no different. Here's a story of a soldier during the Civil War who was shot multiple times, but did not let the flag touch the ground.

I wondered if in his little brain Bush believes he is synonymous with the flag, that he is so ideally American he has the right by deed to do this, as if his ego has him signing a flag as an author would sign a book of his own creation.

Nevertheless, I do think that as DK has posted, the actions of this administration are what is important, and not so much his signature on the flag.

He is the Commander in Chief of our military. He is the elected leader(unless you are a bizarro still hung up on 2000). He loves America. why shouldn't he be able to sign it. You people who are criticizing it, you are the same people that would advocate the personal freedom to burn and defecate on the flag, so please STFU hypocrites.

The signature of the Commander in Chief is ok on the flag. Hell, I would not even think anything of it had Clinton did it while he was President.

"burn and defecate on the flag"

OH MAN. That is the funniest thing I've read on these forums in days!

Defacate the flag! 😀😀😀😀😀

That must REALLY hurt on the way out! 😀

*EDIT*

Did you mean to say "desecrate"?

Are you retarded or haven't finished this program yet?

Trolling is against the rules too😉 Your attack wasn't direct but it sure was intended to make fun of him and to stir his ire.

Lol, are you serious. I could pull a personal attack out of half the threads on this forum.

My remark was a retaliatory remark on his insulting my grammar skills when he was in fact in the wrong. It wasn't like I called him a Dan Quayle wannabe or something.
