The moniker of "Blackwatch" is not an homage to a sect in the gang..um I mean the Scottish regiment that seems to have an old fashioned attitude towards "political correctness". You say this as if I only have rights that you allow me to have, and that my humanity and dignity are only protected by the will of some army or something, and that at that army's will, my rights can (and in this instance should) be taken away. The term 'blackwatch' that I use refers to a very fine regiment of African and African American freedom fighters who watch for the protection of Black peoples all around the world. With a battle cry of "Freedom or Death, we shall not be moved!!!" The International Blackwatch Movement seeks to "black boot stomp" the sense of self hatred felt in the black community due to being mired in the mud of the "pig's parlor" that is the United States. Listen, even the Constitution with its Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independeance state that these truths are self evident that every man has rights given to him BY GOD, not by some oppressive, militaristic, hypocrytical, self-righteous, self serving, greedy, power hungary state that seeks power over human dignity and oil over peace. One question, if justice is of God, and the foreign policies of the U.S. have proven to be unjust, why automatically assume that the U.S. is 'righteous' in its dealings with this 'war on terrorism'? Sending people over there to die because we were on the wrong side 10 years ago. How can Ben Laden be a good guy during the cold war, and now he is evil? Think about it. My freedom isn't protected by some oppressive, greedy government, but by an all powerful, all knowing, and ever present GOD! So Dekeguy, we can have "breakfast" as you state, but do not think that I have any reason to fear any sect of any gang because when my rights are protected by GOD, whom shall I fear? Can YOU handle the TRUTH?

YAY!! This was a great post!!
And KillearnyRose, someone MUST be miserable if they do not agree with American policy right? I mean, how HORRIBLE to think that there are flaws in the U.S. of A. Yes, it is cause for anguish. But you know what they say...the truth HURTS, so I guess I will have to deal.
In regards to the actual topic, actually I agree that the guy should be kicked out, based on the followup posts about his prior history. But the flag stomping seems to be only the climax to his behavior. As far as the hypothetical scenario of a member stomping on a generic American flag, I would not think that someone's expression of a political view would be cause to kick them out of their org. Surely not from people who are SO vocally touting the importance of diversity?
Actually the "freedoms" that we are "allowed" state that stomping on, spitting on, or using the flag as a cape to fly out the window, is legal. So is anyone in here prepared to face the consequences of their OWN highly prized consititution if they kick someone out for expressing a government given right?
Bottom line..."patriots" who find fault in people expressing their opinions (even if it is a dissenting one) are hypocrites. How can you love this country "unconditionally," yet attempt to stifle the very notion of "freedom" that this nation was founded upon?
