The right to disrespect the flag, anthem, or any other symbol of America has long been protected and separated from attacking the country itself.
Attacking the country is very different from protesting against a policy or symbol of the country.
Two different things.

Yep kind of ironic that the people who say that you are being offensive if you calmly make your protest against the government, are the same ones who say that they have to be armed to the teeth to protect themselves from the government.
No double standards here.
