"Progressive" regressives purposefully have turned the ideas of liberty embraced by America's Founders upside down and, at the same time, instituted systemic censorship of those ideas by use of the tool of "political correctness."

I wonder if these flag burners applaud the ISIS destruction of ancient temples and artifacts just because they didn’t like them or found them somehow threatening. Obviously there’s no value to the experience, intellects and efforts of millions in the past, and what they tried to accomplish. Let’s just erase history and tradition.

So lets just declare burning a flag “hate speech” and let the “liberal law” take its course. (Lock ‘em up!)

Of course they can.

Libtards define “hate speech” as they want to.
