This is how one man in San Anselmo expresses his patriotism. I agree it's freedom of speech. It's deeply offensive speech likely to cause more suffering for Americans and other humans. The world is watching. As it's creator surely intended, to the millions who loved and needed those people killed in our name, seeing this must feel like being stabbed in the heart with a US flag.
For the love of humanity, PLEASE do not remain silent! Show the world that haters like the one in San Anselmo don't represent the country we love.
"What should I do?," you ask. As Howard Zinn responded, "Do anything." But do something! If you have a yard, a window, a car, a shirt or any means of communication --written, oral, symbolic -- use it. Freedom of Speech: It's not just for 8th-grade Social Studies anymore.
We'd love for you to join the Crosses 4 Peace project. http://www.crosses4peace.org/...
If crosses don't work for you, make a sign or use a different symbol, but please don't do nothing. The world is watching.

The Jingle:
Little Crosses
by S. Mondeau inspired by Malvina Reynolds’ "Little Boxes" (from the HBO series "Weeds" or Pete Seeger depending on your age)
Little Crosses in our front yards,
Little crosses made of 1 x 4’s.
Little crosses painted ghost white
And they just might end a war.
And the People shown as crosses
All trusted their President
And they came home in wooden boxes
Which he covered with Our flag.
