Default Flag Burning Amendment is Moving Forward

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050622/...o/flag_burning

I'm against the flag burning amendment. I do consider burning the flag to be 'free speech'. And as long as the flag is burned in a way that does endanger other people's property, I think it should continue to be legal. On a Machivellian note, I am secretly glad when I see self-hating Americans burn the flag because political 'moderates' can good look at the kooks that make up the Democrat party.

LOL. You should get a job as a pollster and political analyst for Fox News. I'd watch that segment!

This amendment is a solution in search of a problem.

Agreed. Even if there were thousands of flag burnings a day, I would still oppose this amendment. It makes it look even worse considering that this is something that rarely takes place to begin with.

Ditto. No one should support this pile of crap.

I've never seen a flag burned in this country. If this amendment passes, I will be glad to burn one myself. Fascism offends me. But maybe I'm self-hating. Where did you find all those flag burners that you find so self-gratifying.

The funny thing is that not only does he see people burn flags, but he is convinced that they are the "kooks that make up the Democratic Party."

And oh yeah, political moderates (like me) will get a good look at them, presumably see them for the kooks they are, and come running into the sanity of the Republican Party.

I think that'd be a particularly ironic and effective method of protest.
