Good point...
Watch 'em.
Perhaps a better memo would be: If it's okay to burn the Stars and Stripes, Is it okay to burn the Rainbow Flag?
You do not understand the power of Doublethink.
Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.
And curiously, this dichotomy never occurs to the person holding the contradictory beliefs.
They also fail to note that The Donald trolled the MSM by that very tweet since it is the core of legislation put forward by Hillary herself...
Consistency isn’t the issue, the issue is raw political power, and one certainly can ban hate speech and allow flag burning if the only criterion is the ideological preference of the person making the decision. It happens under a government of men, not of law, which is exactly what the progressives are trying to accomplish.
This needs to be driven into their thick skulls with a base ball bat.
A bit off-topic, but in most cities there is an ordinance against burning something (leaves, or whatever) without a permit. Why not just cite the protesters for that?
I’m sure these ordinances provide for stiffer penalties if the original citation is ignored.
Of course “sanctuary cities” would not enforce that ordinance, but they would also ignore any other law the flag-burners might break.
korans and any flags are fair game to desecrate and or burn.
Tyrants can do whatever they wish. There is no freedom in the world of the Left.
when one is an emotionalist and social metaphysician, and despises reason and reality, one can be inconsistent as long as it feels right and one is acce[pted by one's preferred group
The tweet:
“Nobody should be allowed to burn the American flag - if they do, there must be consequences - perhaps loss of citizenship or year in jail!”

"Burn liberals, not our Flag."
If you can burn a flag... you can burn a cross.. because both are free speech
If you can ban burning a cross.. you can ban burning a flag....because both are hate speech
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!)
Ha....the left IS hate speech...Wanna see a real racist? Just look left....LOL, they really hate that one.
Excellent.
There should not be even be “hate speech” laws.
Of course they can.
Libtards define “hate speech” as they want to.
