Why the heck would anyone burn the US flag? People died for that, man. If you don't love it, then leave it.gemini wrote:There are folks, maybe even a few on this site, that see nothing wrong with desecrating the flag.

You do know that wearing the flag is also considered disrespect of the US flag per the US Code? United States Code title 36 Chapter 10 ยง176 (d)drjoker wrote: I will be there WAVING my flag and wearing a flag.
ALBANY, New York -- Opponents of the fiscally conservative tea party movement say they plan to infiltrate and dismantle the political group by trying to make its members appear to be racist, homophobic and moronic.
Jason Levin, creator of http://www.crashtheteaparty.org" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, said Monday the group has 65 leaders in major cities across the country who are trying to recruit members to infiltrate tea party events for April 15 -- federal tax filing day, when tea party groups across America are planning to gather and protest high taxes.
"Every time we have someone on camera saying that Barack Obama isn't an American citizen, we want someone sitting next to him saying, 'That's right, he's an alien from outer space!"' Levin said.
Tea party members said the backlash comes from ignorance.
"They can't actually debate our message and that's their problem," said Bob MacGuffie, a Connecticut organizer for Right Principles, a tea party group that also has members in New York and New Jersey.
The tea party movement generally unites on the fiscally conservative principles of small government
, lower taxes and less spending. Beyond that the ideology of the people involved tends to vary dramatically.
Levin says they want to exaggerate the group's least appealing qualities, further distance the tea party from mainstream America and damage the public's opinion of them.
"Do I think every member of the tea party is a homophobe, racist or a moron? No, absolutely not," Levin said. "Do I think most of them are homophobes, racists or morons? Absolutely."
The site manifesto says they want to dismantle the Tea Party by nonviolent means. "We have already sat quietly in their meetings, and observed their rallies," the site said.
Another tea party organizer said the attempt to destroy the movement was evidence its message is resonating.
"We've been ignored, we've been ridiculed. Well, now they're coming after us," said Judy Pepenella, a co-coordinator for the New York State Tea Party. "Gandhi's quote is one we understand: 'First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win."'

I'll spell it out. The act of some punk setting an American flag on fire, waving it around, then throwing it on the ground andidrathernot wrote:Also in the US Code:drjoker wrote:

"(k) The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning."

Hey hey hey now, that is stereotyping.

I assume that the speakers will be on the pitcher's mound. Anybody know? If that's the case, I will be in the "3rd base party deck" if it's open:
