They wonder
Alright, I've heard enough of this. Anti-war protesters keep asking why they are called "anti-American." I can tell you why. Because you are. Not for what you believe in. Not for speaking out on your opinion. But for being anti-American.

This story is the one that set me off. The 9th circuit court has struck again. First it was the report that the pledge was unconstitutional, now they say that "officials cannot allow the American flag on highway overpasses without also allowing anti-war protesters and others to post signs bearing political messages" So you're saying that government officials cannot hang the American flag in a sign of patriotism without letting anti-war people hang their messages.

If it were a debate between officials letting pro-war people hang their signs and not anti-war then I would likely see the reasoning but when you take your case to court because the American flag offends you, you are showing your own colors as anti-American. Why is there a need to desecrate the flag, or memorials, things that represent Americans who gave their lives either willingly in the military or in cases like 9-11 for our freedom? Why is that against your cause? If you're American you stand under that same flag, and that means that flag stands for peace as well as war, that's what is unique about America and Americans, we can disagree and still share the bond that makes us citizens of this great country.

But from these actions here it doesn't seem like the anti-war people are proud of being American. They want to tear down our flags and use the most liberal court in the nation against the very thing that gives them the right to voice their opinion at all. Do I want anti-war opinions silenced? No, not at all, but I don't want people taking down my flag, using the term, "Not my President," and then asking why they are refered to as Anti-American.

Sorry, but saying your not anti-american while you're stuffing the flag down the toilet is blatent hypocracy.
