Respect for the flag is a personal preference that conservatives have and leftists do not have. It has nothing to do with policy. Many people who love the country and respect the flag become disgusted when they see that leftists do not. The funny thing about living in America is that one does not have to actually love this country. But, leftists are always going to get called-out for it, and for good reason: Why should those of us who are patriots have to be impacted by any measures supported by those who are not? During the Revolutionary War, many patriots forced many loyalists to go live in Canada.

Jade you are completely wrong about pride in ones country.
So just because you dislike the president that should not distract from your pride in your nation. I disliked Obama but that never caused my pride in my country to waiver. Presidents are transitory the nation goes on.There is a difference between the kind of pride that God hates (Proverbs 8:13) and the kind of pride we can feel about a job well done (Galatians 6:4) or the kind of pride we express over the accomplishment of loved ones (2 Corinthians 7:4). The kind of pride that stems from self-righteousness or conceit is sin, however, and God hates it because it is a hindrance to seeking Him.

The left loves America but fights a despot and plutocrats changing the country into their fiefdoms. Those who do not fight for democracy will lose it. The right has taken the knee for every single despot that came along. The left is "power to the people".

All of the values that this country was built upon are liberal values. Leftism didn't really exist until the Jacobins came to power in France. In the case of women's suffrage, the amendment was passed a year after the progressives were swept out of Congress in the 1918. They had been too busy prohibiting alcohol and deforming the Senate.

That's when the terms "Left" and "Right" started being widely used. But the concepts existed long before that.
Regardless of who passed it, it's a left-wing concept, and at the time was considered to be far left. Western Civilization itself, with its democratic elections and equality before the law, is a liberal left-wing concept.In the case of women's suffrage, the amendment was passed a year after the progressives were swept out of Congress in the 1918.

Give it any name that you want, but there have always been a faction that believes in top-down government. During the ratification of the Constitution these types were present and in a minority. They are still a minority, but have been able to fool millions of followers into believing that the opposing party stands for something other than their actual platform.
