Why do we do this?

People today
seem to go out of their way
in sharing the say
of those who say nay.

Then in protest they post
on this internet host
as an attempt then to roast
they go and share coast-to-coast.

The drivel and filth of the bitter.

There it is, that picture that just sets us off. A young man holding a burning flag, those girls standing upon it as it lies on the ground not to mention tea party member displaying it up-side-down. That's right, number three disrespects our flag every bit as much as numbers one and two. Each of these displays are there for one reason, to garner attention to the people in these pictures as they feel that they have something important to say. Though the law allows these displays of what is being sold as free speech and it really doesn't matter who it comes from, the misuse of the flag for purposes unintended will provoke somebody and often to the edge of violence.

When we see these images, what do we do?

We give them the attention they seek, what else. We protest their actions by displaying them for all to see with words written over their picture to tell folks just how terrible the action or statement is, and then tell others to share this picture. Wake up folks, you've just given them exactly what they've been wanting. Your attention and their message being shared with more people. If you want to protest their negative perspective on life in these United States of America, do it with a positive message rather than further circulating what you consider to be an anti American display. Promote the U. S. of A. rather than share that which is designed to tear it down.
