When a woman accused Rowe of being "blindly patriotic" for his support of the U.S. Flag, this epic response was swiftly returned...and this is just ONE PARAGRAPH!

QuoteIt's easy to make anything feel small and silly by reducing it to its chemical composition or its various component parts. But if you really believe our flag is nothing but a "mere symbol," equally suitable for flying or burning, ask yourself if you'd be comfortable if the people you work with suddenly started coming to the office in pointy white hats fashioned from bedsheets? Would that be a problem for you? Or how about The Rainbow Flag, favored by the LGBTQ community? Would it be OK if people started burning that? If not, why not? I mean, it's only a symbol, right?
