I had to laugh at the silliness of someone actually putting this kind of thing on social media. Then as I read through the article I asked myself, what kind of person would lower themselves to do such a thing. Then the answer came to me:

Lance is a self-described left-wing anarchist and has previously posted photos suggesting that the 9/11 attacks were an “inside job.” According to her Facebook likes, she is a supporter of former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.

Okay, well, that explains it. LOL Personally, I wouldn't piss on the flag much less put it out there for the public, but hey, some people have no scruples. Or brains. :)

So, freedom of expression? Or what?

I can't watch the video, can you describe it to me in detail so I can make a valid argument if it's just a freedom of expression? Thanks!

The video is unavailable, but I can see a few pictures. Seems like it's within freedom of expression to me. It is still quite distasteful and stupid.

Well then I guess we are just giving her the attention she craved when doing it and posting it on the internet for all to see. Her parents must be so proud. /s.

Neither did I.

You'll have to use your imagination. lol

Strangely enough, she has a point, she is definitely expressing herself. :)
 
I have admit if this is true, it's really Bad Symbolism and Disrespect.

But isn't Bad Symbolism and Disrespect part of the American Culture?

... as a matter of fact, this country started labeling Bad Symbolism and Disrespect as Political Correctness.

So as a country, we need to someday recognize what comes first and what's really important.

There's in no Flag to Salute without it's People behind it.

So if you Disrespect the People, aren't you doing the same to it's Flag?
 
He gets his five days of fame at D.P., then when he applies for a decent job his social media fame disqualifies him from anything beyond hamburger flipping along side an illegal alien in California where he is considered to be a "social hero".

I'm only guessing but she probably doesn't work and has no plans to do so.

It's on YouTube; I watched it last night. Silly girl using the "helper" called "Go Girl" so she can stand up and urinate even shakes it from side to side afterward like a guy.

She posted, "**** your nationalism. **** your country. **** your stupid ****ing flag."

Actually I think "Philadelphia" explains it.

lol

But it's odd that a "left-wing anarchist" would support Sanders since he is a Democratic Socialist and those two philosophies have not much to do with it. I think people are using anarchist today like many have been using libertarian. It's something that sounds cool, but not many actually know what they are talking about, and really they are just a Republican or Democrat and trying to hide it.
