Super, but your sugestion was that the flag burning amendment was not a conservative cause, which is false. One it its original proponents was none other than Ronald Reagan.
Actually, what I said was that many conservatives would not touch either amendment. That is true. I never said it was not a conservative cause. We do from time to time have misplaced priorities. Coming into an election that shows a dramatic disadvantage to many of the incumbents, most voters are not going to be pleased that the only thing Congress accomplished this year was arguing (fruitlessly) over two amendments. The only reason they are being considered right now is simply to placate the conservative base. The Senate had absolutely no intention of bringing the last one to a vote, just to let their respective bases know where they stood, without actually having to stand there.
But November is quite different. Anyway, we agree to disagree. Most on these threads believe as you do. I hope you and they are correct.
