A cartoon with a meaning

Yep, I'm proud of this country. I fly the American flag daily. And when I die, there will be a flag covering my coffin.

EDIT - I read your post wrong and got the wrong meaning out of it.... - EDIT

Jehovah Witnesses believe in a god, there would be no reason for them to be upset by that, the wording of "under god" is primarily an attack on atheism as that is the biggest threat to the christian majority.

THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH THE FLAG, it's with forcing people to say they pledge allegiance to a country "under god", I WILL NOT pledge allegiance to a theocracy under god, and it's only motive is to move us towards that end, for people then to later say god is on our money and our pledge, we must be a christian nation and as you can see, sadly that is working.

I agree...with the JW, it is the "Pledge of Allegiance" which they oppose, and they will not stand for the flag salute nor place their hand over hearts. They also do not celebrate birthdays or Christmas, but still love to receive presents. The only celebration they allow is wedding anniversaries.

I just don't understand that cult! I apologize for expressing my opinion, but this has all but broken up my family and I find it ironic that everyone of their kids quit that religion as soon as they got out from under their parent's control.

It is there right, greatest part about America, everyone can be nuts, everyone is welcome, and even ideology that supports the fall of the right it needs in order to function is allowed.
