Right to burn a flag

Right to burn a flag.

Burning a flag is a right and it’s a right we have to continue to protect no matter what.

It’s a right that should never, ever be exercised, but if some asshole is dumb enough to exercise it, we need to protect his right to do it.

Because that’s what makes us different. That’s what makes a man great. It’s the fact that you can say and do those things, that you can say and do what you believe in. And you can stand up for what you believe in.

We have to stick up for all the rights we have. Even the ones that make me want to bash someone’s head in from time to time.

But…

If you have the right to burn my flag, I have the right to kick your ass.

paraphrased from Lori Ryan

‘Cause nothing else mattered

I try and I try again
I will not give up hope
But every time I try
I’ll cling to a fragile rope

The illusionist can let that rope
So easily disappear
My heart is drenched in sadness
My shattered confidence in fear

The disappointment is cutting deep
Every time anew
When I realize that my beliefs
And the things I regard as true

Are nothing more than a vision
Of a perfect world that doesn’t exist
Of make-believe and fairy tales
Of fortune that I wished

All that’s left is sadness
Every illusion shattered
But still I try again
‘Cause nothing else mattered
