He fought for our first amendment rights, including protesting our government by burning the flag. The flag he fought for,…

Wrong brother, it’s freedom of speech. It’s what my uncle died fighting to protect. It’s protected.

It’s okay this is the good Alexander Rossi sent from the future to win the race and protect her from the evil Alexander Rossi sent from the future to kill her.

Wow... are you seriously offended by that flag?! Holy F, get a life folks.

Sarah Connor(s)?

Just stay away from Arnold Schwarzenegger. That guy looks like he might be a killer death robot from the future...
