After Ferguson Protester Burns an American Flag – These National Guardsmen Do Something Incredible

Saturday night in Ferguson, Missouri, Communist and ‘Palestinian’ protesters came to town and descended on the police station.

It got very ugly. But you didn’t see any of it on your nightly news program.

They displayed Marxist flags, and shouted “the only solution is a Communist revolution!”



They chanted for the National Guard troops guarding the station to “turn your guns around and shoot the bosses down” — meaning to kill the police inside, causing even some in the media to gasp in shock.

And then they did a truly vile act: they burned an American flag and taunted the troops while doing it.

One punk even lit up a joint in the flames of a burning American flag.

The protesters reveled in their hatred for America.

But those who faced off with these “protesters” love America, and showed it in an incredible display of patriotism and respect for that flag, and those who died fighting beneath it.

They left their post at the police station, and went across the street to where these vile protesters were gathered — to try and retrieve that flag.

Now we have amazing video showing their character — and the shameful lack of character of those demanding “justice” for Mike Brown.

And if you are like me, it will put a lump in your throat.

WATCH:

The video was shot by the ubiquitous USTREAM activist RebelutionaryZ — whose apparent voice you can hear derisively telling the soldiers: “It’s just a piece of cloth.”

“But it means something to us“, one soldier replied.

Amen to that.

God bless these men. We thank them for their service and honor. We hope to find out who they are and report back to you in the days to come.

I was sort of expecting knockin' teeth and breaking some asses.  I can dream though.

I can say this in all honesty. I hate this government.

 ... but, I love my country.

I think you all understand the difference.

I was hoping they opened up on the sh*theads and dropped all of them.

Even though burning a flag is not illegal,the person who burnt the flag can be found guilty of a misdemeanor for starting a fire without a permit.

May as well ask this here - can someone explain gently to me the whole veneration of the flag thing? It exists, it is powerful and moving, and treated with utmost respect by any co-based forces (not just the UK) but most of us don't really get it.

I have long suspected that it is a function of the USA being both a melting pot and being propelled onto the world stage incredibly rapidly in international terms.

We don't have a monarch, high priest or poobah.  We have an ideal.  The flag represents that ideal.

Perfect answer.

Perfect answer.   

I'd like to ditto that.

Great answer ONC - you're on fire today!

You're too kind, thank you.  Maybe I should leave on a  high note a la George Costanza?

If you are ever called upon to come and get me out of jail it will be because some S&*(&*(* tried to burn a flag in my presence!

Maybe, quit while you're ahead?

Just as Old North Church explained, it's what our Flag represents rather than the materials and colors it is made up of.  Many countries have "progressed" to the point that their governments have taken the place of a higher ideal.  To those of us who still appreciate and honor it, our Flag represents our history, our rights, our freedoms we fought and died for.  And anyway, those who don't get it, still won't.

There is a hitch to this though.
