BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, PATRIOTISM IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF DISSENT
Here's a nice flag-burning-as-my-Darwin-given-right twist: noble leftist protester gathers up flags flying on lawn of recently KIA Marine, piles them on car in the driveway, and sets the flags (and the car) on fire.
Such a noble act of bravery, truly what the authors of the Declaration had in mind when pledging their lives and sacred honor, is I'm sure what he'll be thinking when he's swallowing his teeth.
Posted by Steve at July 26, 2005 12:55 PM | TrackBackI had a whole satiric post devoted to the notion that "the highest praise possible for any slain soldier is to slander him". I opted not to post it, after I wrote a long, mocking tribute to the "imperialist warmongering cowardly bastards of Omaha Beach", because I knewb that someone, somewhere would misinterpret it and I would cause pain to an eighty-year old veteran. My point, though, was the same as yours -- slander is slander, and isn't praise.
