"You want to claim this land as the land of the free? Then the symbol of your country cannot just be a flag. The symbol also has to be one of its citizens exercising his right to burn that flag in protest. Now show me that, defend that, celebrate that in your classrooms."
This kick-ass line is from The American President (delivered with incredible passion and fervor by Michael Douglas) and I agree with it whole heartedly. (Though Sorkin drives me bonkers on a few levels; here, he makes a very solid point).
I think of this every time someone wiping mustard off their face with a flag napkin complains about a peaceful protest being unpatriotic.
