If it weren’t for the hundreds of thousands of Americans who fought and died for our country and that flag you might not be here to express your opinion nor have a synagogue to pray in.

Just think of that when you say it’s an inanimate object because what it represents (FREEDOM) is not inanimate.

I love my country. The flag, I'm just ambivalent about. Seeing tons of flags flying doesn't stir me to patriotism, and seeing them missing doesn't make me feel any less love for the USA. I don't need a flag of ANY kind to love America.
