I wasn't.

You guys are missing the point.

Burning an American flag and putting a Support Our Troops(or a W '04, or Pro-choice etc) magnet on your car is the same ACTION.

That action, of course, is politically expressing yourself.

To me, it's all the same. Saying you would kick someone's ass for burning the American flag is the same kind of selfishness as people who file complaints to the FCC about Howard Stern and Janet Jackson's boobie. It's the same kind of selfishness that the KKK in Mississippi had when they murdered three voting rights activists in the 1960s.
"I don't like that" or "I don't agree with that." That's fine. It also doesn't matter, because everyone is entitled to their opinion and everyone has the right to express themself. It's your passion about this subject that is making you miss the point I think, and no one is blaming you for that. I certainly am not.
But it don't take much to get me by
So just booze me up and get me high
