52% to 47% that in the light of student safety the American Flag should be banned 

What did our ancestors fight for, what are we fighting for today?

Roll me over and get it over with

Safety of the students come first??

Maybe we should set up collection boxes and have the kids drop in their lunch money so as not to risk confrontation with the school bullies.

The bullies can empty the boxes twice a day.  Much safer for the students.

Now, 54% are in favor of banning the American flag!    Give me a freaking break!  If you don't love this country enough to respect its flag and those who've died defending it, find another place to live!  I'm not racist nor do I have a problem with any other nationalities, but if you can't show this country some respect, stay in, go back to, or find  (if you were born here)  your own third world hell hole.  I typically don't rant, but this is just stupid.  If I didn't like Canada (just an example) enough to show their country some respect, I would never attempt to live there.  Buy, borrow, or steal a clue people!!!

The only words I can come up with are borrowed from Crusader Rabbit (with respect), I weep for my country.

Who was it that said "If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything"

We have become a nation built on shifting sand with snake oil salesmen at the helm.  We won't stand for our religion ... any religion, and now we won't stand for the Flag, and even worse what the flag stands for

Good one, Shooter32!!!!!




The Star Spangled Banner
O! say can you see by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O! say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner, O! long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

O! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
