While watching the news recently, I heard Madonna say she had thought about blowing up the White House. She may have her fame and fortune but she isn't above the law. <\/p>\n
This wasn't cute nor was it funny. People have the right to protest but the manner in which they conduct themselves matters. <\/p>\n
They have no right to break out windows and steal items, to set fire to a vehicle, harm another person, destroy someone's property; these are crimes. What is the point of stomping on old glory, setting it on fire? Some call it Freedom of Speech. I call it a heartless act. <\/p>\n
If I want to give my opinion, I will do so. But in a respectful way, and I will not be destructive about it. <\/p>\n
How many countries would put up with what goes on here? Freedom is priceless. <\/p>\n
This country has its faults and government is not perfect; never was, and never will be. <\/p>\n
If one is looking for that perfect president, or any government official just keep looking. <\/p>\n
I wouldn't want to be going through what President Trump is going through, but he went through it before he became president. <\/p>\n
We are so lucky in this country, and I appreciate the freedom I have always known. We have freedom of speech, a right to protest, but I don't go along with breaking the law, and you will never see me touching old glory in any way but with respect. <\/p>\n
