land of the free because of the brave flag

I am speaking of the ones that say “My country is better! I don’t want to be here, in America, I would rather be somewhere else!” There are many countries out there that if I started waving the American flag, even if it was in support of my heritage, I would be harassed and maybe even killed. Now I am not talking about the “hey this is my heritage and I am proud of it”. One of the most disrespectful things I see is people waving flags from other countries. Among these are the waving of foreign flags in a way that is cruel to America, inconsideration for the men and women who put their lives on the line to protect our freedom, and also Americans who have short term memory and can only think about the here-and-now and not our nations past events that got us to where we are today. The First Amendment allows Americans freedom to express their true feelings, although a lot of time their comments and actions are offensive. Even though I have been called “ignorant” I strongly believe that if you dislike it here then you should move to the country you believe you will be happy in. I see these phrases written everywhere, and see the anti-government protestors on my television as they march in front of the White House. “America sucks!” “I hate the U.S.!” Such ruthless expressions about a country that so many risk their lives to get to and still many others risk their lives to defend.
