| Message | Our national flag is the symbol of our national power, freedom, and pride. To allow it to be desecrated or dishonored is exactly like allowing defeat in a winnable war. The Militarist Party believes we should not show weakness and enforce laws that disallow the desecration of our primary national symbol. |

| Message | We feel that the terms are narrow enough to not prevent legitimate free speech forms of protest with the flag. |
