My philosophy on flag burning is simple:

If I see someone burning a flag which THEY legally own, I will find it offensive, and I will not associate with that person, but I will not try to stop them.

The Charleston killer had his photo taken burning a small American flag. Were you aware of that?

What I am trying to find out is if what is right and wrong, what is "conservative" and what is "liberal," are objective and universal or rather depend on the ethno-culture of the actor?

Conservative white Southerners "wag[ed] war on the United States" and are patriots and heroes, while Blacks in Mississippi who want to secede are Communist traitors.

A white conservative who hates the American flag because it represents leftist tyranny is super-American, but a liberal who hates it is un-American.

Is Americanness, or conservatism, or chrstianity, the property of a certain set of genes and chromosomes? Or are there certain universal principals involved?

Why do anti-racists hate the creation narrative of Genesis? Why have so many racialists in history invoked it? That doesn't make any sense to me.

In short, if the only thing in the world we are fighting for is the subjective culture of descendants of northwest Europeans, then there is nothing worth fighting for. If we are fighting for the One True G-d and His universal laws, then we must never surrender.

But I don't suppose you even understand the points I'm trying to make.

No, I guess I don’t understand your points. In my opinion, it is because you are not doing a very good job of making them.

You asked about flag burning. I gave you my opinion. The fact that the little troglodyte who recently murdered 9 people once burned a flag does not change my opinion on flag burning - nor does it change my opinion on murder.

As to your other bizarre comments, I was unaware that any substantial number of “Black Communists” wanted to secede from the Union. I would be in favor of letting them go, just as I would be in favor of allowing communists of ANY race to leave the United States.

This country was founded on a philosophy of individual liberty and self-determination. The original union was imperfect and did not include all people in that philosophy. Corrections had to be made.

However, communism is wholly incompatible with even those original flawed ideals of individual liberty and freedom upon which the country was founded, never mind the corrected version.
