Is Mr. Cash saying he has the right to shoot someone for burning ANY American flag, or just one that’s actually his personal property? Because he definitely doesn’t have the right to do the former, and he could be justifiably shot himself for trying to do so.
The latter case is more debatable, but I would call it overkill to shoot anyone over an inexpensive item of personal property such as a piece of cloth — especially one that symbolizes murder, hypocrisy, lies, and tyranny. One very common form of tyranny seeks to violate the First Amendment by restricting forms of expression that others may find offensive, including flag-burning. Restrictions on burning the US flag are every bit as wrong as restrictions on “hate speech.”
The US flag and other “patriotic” symbols are part of the means by which people are (unwittingly) conditioned into conformity with the agenda of our corrupt, evil, and murderous government. The same is true of all the “support our troops” propaganda. State-worship is in many ways a religion, and “patriotic” symbols are its idols.
The US flag is a worthless piece of cloth. The Bill of Rights is a priceless treasure that those who worship the US flag seek to destroy. Let’s never forget that.
If you read it , he says you can burn yours , just not his
I agree with him , my flag is my property , be it a rebel flag , a Gadsden flag , the current American flag , no one destroys what’s mine without a fight
Yes, that’s one of the possible interpretations that I acknowledged. The other possibility is that Mr. Cash views any US flag — regardless of who bought and owns it — as “his” flag due to his indoctrinated loyalty (“my” country, “my” flag, etc.). This is a common view among the patriotard brigade that wishes to outlaw flag burning, thus violating the First Amendment and a basic human right. Mr. Cash may further believe that anyone who would burn a US flag must be loyal to some other flag — i.e., “their” flag. But some of us aren’t loyal to flags; only to certain people and certain principles.
Of course I completely agree that people have the right to defend their property, even if I personally would never shoot someone over such an inexpensive item. Yet somehow I doubt that was the point ol’ Johnny was trying to make here. I’m pretty sure he was merely expressing his loyalty to the cloth idol that his heroes will be wearing on their uniforms when they come to relieve everyone of their guns, just as they’ve already relieved most Americans of their other freedoms.
😀 😀 😀
He’s 100% right, brother.
A man who has had his trials and tribulations. 100% American National. God love him.

Johnny Cash–the ONLY country singer worth his salt! Thanks!
