Begin with the fact we had two military campaigns so important to our security, this bunch of fiscal conservatives didn't seem to let it bother them neither campaign was included in the budget. The contractors ran amuck with no restrictions and no oversight on their contracts. The troops went without equipment they needed to stay as safe as possible and no one had any plans for after the invasion itself. Yet with all of this, people like Norris were silent, never once mentioning how all of this was hurting the troops and our financial security. People like Norris never even bothered to wonder how it was that 9-11 happened and all of our defenses failed at the same time on the same morning we needed them all to work the most. But he can't even see he got the year wrong.
Chuck Norris to American "patriots": stop flying U.S. flag or fly one that is 'tea-stained'
September 21, 9:49 AM Grassroots Politics Examiner Ron Moore
In today’s column he states that,
“On Sept. 12, 2002, we sought to protect our nation against terrorists from without. Beginning on Sept. 12, 2009, we are seeking to protect our nation against enemies of our republic from within. Many of us are protesting the present political direction of Washington. Outrageous borrowing, excessive bailouts, massive spending, speedball stimulus plans, universal hell-care and swings toward socialism are just a few of things that were protested that day. Of course, economics is far from America's only problem, as large as it appears to loom.“

Chuck Norris to American patriots
He doesn't seem to understand that most of what is being addressed now, was causing most of us to get angry and scream for accountability, but people like Norris were not listening, swinging instead against people he thought were just "Bush bashers" instead of patriots concerned with where they county was heading.
It didn't seem to bother Norris that when the troops came back from Afghanistan, which most of the people like Norris forgot all about, was producing more wounded, no one here was getting ready to take care of any of them. You know, the same type of people too busy to notice the same thing was happening when the wounded were coming back from Iraq even though the evidence proved there was no need to attack Iraq, but plenty of reason to finish what was going on in Afghanistan, since that did have to do with 9-11 in 2001, not 2002 like Norris said.
So Norris now calls for people to stain the flag when he can't seem to care about the fact people like him never really respected it in the first place, or they would have been paying attention all along. Being a patriot requires people wanting this nation to be her best, no matter who is in charge. It requires them to want security and when there isn't, to find out why and make corrections. It requires respect through actions, not just words. We cannot say we support the troops with words but not when it comes to giving them everything they need to do what we ask of them. We cannot say we are a grateful nation when combat veterans are left without care, incomes and the support they really need from this nation. The list goes on but I bet you get the point. If we do not do what it really takes, then we are just a bunch of bad actors taking the stage and reading a script in a pretend world.
The rest of the American Patriots would never think of disgracing the flag for the sake of a political zealot who doesn't even know what year we were attacked. We also noticed that our men and women coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan waited for their wounds to be taken care of, but people like him, never said let's protest the lack of care and force that President to take care of their healthcare needs. You know, the ones they wouldn't need taken care of if people like Norris cared after they were sent to risk their lives.
