Tom Sellecks Character Stands Up For The American Flag Tom Selleck has gained a reputation for breaking apart from liberal Hollywood and taking a stand for patriotism. Although he has received some backlash, he stood up once again on an episode of Blue Bloods, his hit CBS television show. The episode was entitled Flags of Our Fathers. Sellecks character Frank Reagan comes in contact with a liberal extremist named Gore. During the show, Gore organizes a protest to burn the American flag at a veterans memorial. Reagan attempts to talk Gore out of his plan, claiming that he will lose all sympathy for his message by disrespecting the country. Although Gore pushes back, Reagan insists that only a fool seeks peace by inciting violence. That flag, that you consider a prop and a stunt, has draped the coffins of Americans who died to give you the right to ignore that sacrifice, Reagan comments. Youre spitting on their graves. Fortunately, Gore is given a large dose of karma in the episode. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Is this a good message for Obamas race baiters to be hearing?
