Flying the battle flag of an enemy that directly engaged in war with the United States is way more disrespectful than using your freedom to protest.

My personal belief is that the flag is nothing more than pageantry cloth. It holds no true meaning other than that which people prescribe to it.

I wouldn't even really call it symbolism.

How about that one all you patriots? Ask the 4,000+ soldiers and hundreds of thousands of innocent people who have died. I have no illusions when you blatantly disrespect what this country is supposed to stand for by mouthing some patriotic words and saluting a piece of cloth, then bully and harass someone who expects our actions to match those words.
