What is flag desegration ?
Desecration* are things that well...desecrate the flag. Like Flag burning and things of that nature.
Flag being touched by a redneck with greasy fingers?
What about use of the flag for mundane purposes, such as advertisement? Isn#t that desecrating it?
Are you saying that all rednecks have greasy fingers? Also, why would they be touching the flag its self in the first place? I hope you were no more than half serious.
Desecrating as used in this sense means it's overall destruction. Wrapping yourself in it during an election to appear more patriotic than your opponent is not desecrating it.
