Quote from: Tail Feathers on November 12, 2016, 08:37:23 PMFree and fair elections are the American way. It separates us from dictatorships.It's disturbing that some Americans refuse to accept the results of such a fundamental part of our country. If not by open elections, how do they suggest we appoint/choose our leaders?
Quote from: greencop01 on November 13, 2016, 11:23:54 AM I'm a former Marine, served over 40 yrs ago, and I'ld like to say one thing. We like and support the 2nd Amendment, our right to keep and bear arms. And that's great, I support it too. But there's also the first Amendment, the right to Assembly and the right to free speech, just as important as the 2nd Amendment. When I served I took an oath to serve and defend the Constitution. All of the Constitution, not just the parts I liked. The other side, even if its the dark side, have a right to free speech. If we deny them that right we are just as bad as Russia or Communist China. And yes the Supreme Court said flag burning is free speech protected by the first Amendment. I was prepared to protect all of the Constitution with my life, the parts I liked and the parts I didn't. This is what makes America the greatest country in the world. We should talk about our differences. We may have thought that our country was nearing the end when Obama became President but lo and behold we have Trump, be thankful and celebrate our differences don't whine like they are, we won!

I too am a former Marine (M1A1 Tank Commander) and agree that they have the right to free speech but what they don't have the right to do is destroy others property or drag people from their cars and beat them (this is the points that I think upset most of us), etc. As for the flag, I know that by law they have the right to burn it but I just don't think that I could just stand by and watch it without trying to stop it.
