I don't really know what you were trying to accomplish by saying such idiotic things, but that statement did nothing constructive to help describe your defense for yourself or for J. Howard.
As a person who proudly wore a uniform in the U.S. Marine Corps, I look at the flag and this country alot deferently than you. Even though that you think you were being funny or cute when you said that you grabbed your crotch during the National Anthem, I most certainly did not. I think it is truly sad that you feel that way and that you feel comfortable even saying things like that. I really comes across as you being a smart-ass, and I know that you are way smarter than that. I'm sure that you and others would call me out for saying anything like racially insensitive, and I would expect that. I also expected you to choose a better way to make your point than that.
I'm sure that you and I could go to Fedex, and stand next to each other, and cheer on our Skins and never know about were we stand on the politcal spectrum. But to me, it's God and country first, and always.

I'll admit it, the joke was in bad taste. I'm sorry you were offended and rest assure I don't grab my crotch during the national anthem. I think people take the flag issue way way way too seriously. I find it offensive that one's patriotism hinges on flag and lapel pin issues. To be frank it's as if I live Stalin's USSR and Hitler's Germany, and Mussolini's Italy. I am frustrated with with all this flag talk.
