The flag also represent the 100's of thousands of men of woman that died defending it from the birth of our country to now as well as representing our country in its entirety. The two will for ever be intertwined.

From your previous posts on this thread I would think it's safe to say you were offended by your neighbor's actions. Was it your intent by knocking on his door to educated him on how to dispose of his flag as to not offend you and other like minded citizens? If you answer is yes and your neighbor holds differing political sensibilities to your own then wouldn't your actions also be considered practicing PC? Would that make you a "pansy"?
