I agree. There are any number of real issues but some Republicans talk about flag burning as if it is some great problem while they evade real issues. If a flag burning amendment gets passed and is upheld in court, the left will bring on a series of amendments - amendments to make it illegal to criticize Islam or homosexuality, etc. If the leftists were smart, they would agree to a flag amendment if the Republicans agree to have them set up kangaroo courts to persecute people for politically incorrect speech. There are Republicans stupid enough to go along with that. The flag does not protect your rights, the Bill of Rights does.
Some interesting points.
