There are other ways to serve your country other than being a soldier. There are many that are just not cut out for the military and we should not look down on them because of that fact. Many people are not of physical, mental, or emotional stature to perform the duties required of them in being a soldier. You listed many good ways of serving and I think they are great.

I do post to get a reaction to things that I believe in. I felt like everyone on the board did the same.

Flag burning is considered "protected speech" - which comes from the 1st Amedment.

It's rarely done, because it's a pretty radical type of expression, and won't win many political points.

But it can be done, and that's really the whole point of the matter.

I don't think anyone was questioning wether it was legal or not.

If your list is accurate in listing the wants of the KKK all it tells you is that they aren't wrong about everything. It sure does not make them representatives of the republican party.

I didn't mean they represent the GOP. I was simply backing up the assertion that the KKK is conservative. That doesn't mean they represent conservatives, either. They only represent themselves, but they are conservative. In fact, they largely reject the GOP because they feel the party isn't conservative enough.
