Flag Burning

[8-5-8]

I just wish they would be willing to do the same for The Right to Bare Arms.

Why? You got a collection of sleeveless shirts you wanna wear out in public???

i agree with jaewing. i think burning flags is a really shitty thing to do and is very disrespectful to those that have fought for us. BUT, our right to do that sort of thing is what they're fighting for. that's one of the great things about our country. we can talk all the shit we want about our government and the politicians and not worry about gettting put in jail for it. burning flags is a very extreme way of expressing one's hate for our government, but outlawing it would mark a very dark day in our 'fight for liberty.' what's next?....banning bush jokes?

those are offensive. not as extreme as flag burning. but who draws the line? and where would it stop if flag burning is outlawed? would it stop?

Wow alot of responses. That was quick. I love it when liberals and protesters put up the whole Bush-Hitler thing, it just discredits them and shows what morons they are. And as far as the whole gun control thing, I do find it funny how the liberals will cry and pout about how Christmas displays and security stops at airports are against the constitution, but theyre fully 100% committed to destroying the 2nd amendment. Maybe we shouldn't make a law against flag burning. We should just make it legal to beat up flag burners. Then patriotic Americans would just be expressing their ''feelings.''

I support my right to arm bears.

To me, I oppose an amendment to the constitution banning the desecration of the flag. The flag does evoke a lot of strong feelings from people, that I don't deny. However, if we ban that, then we open up a slippery slope that could really lead us into trouble. If the flag can't be burned, why not a picture of the president? I guess that in allowing it, we show how live up to our belief in free speech, by allowing what others would not.
