Which is better, total reverence or the mixture that includes disrespect too?

Maybe that is America now and I just have to accept it. Orrrrrr maybe another God fearing time will come like in times past where all the people will have no choice but to come back to planet Earth and the respect for God and country.
How about total reverence coupled with summary execution for all those who disrespect our anthem, our flag or our country?
