If flag burning is acceptable to LIBS, what about this flag?

Best election evah.
My arm is getting tired from all the Heil Hitler’s.
Pray America woke
I disagree strongly.
For me, the flag is like an embodiment of the living spirit America represents.
There is a limit to free speech. If you can’t revere your country, this isn’t the place for you.
And a lot of Americans hate the country they were born in.
That’s just a fact of life and we won’t survive unless we honor America.
Yes, they taught me that in Boy Scouts too. But the burning was done as a ceremony - fold it into a triangle first, say the Pledge as it burns and then bury the ashes.
:-)
This should be illegal just like yelling “fire” in a crowded building
Yes, he was.
> I only agree on the last part
My reasoning is that the more you make an issue of it with the Left the more they will want to burn them. If you say fine, burn it; it’s just a piece of cloth (even though it’s not) it takes the wind right out of their sails.
You’re talking about treating the flag with the respect due to someone who has died. That’s different.
People on the other hand, who burn flags in the open here and around the world, want America to die.
That’s the real message. The flag is far more than a physical piece of cloth. Its the flag our country was born under and for which its patriots shed their blood.
The meltdown continues daily. Caught CNN for about 5 minutes last night. They did a two minute story on the cockroach at OSU - even pointing out the previously muslim tweets, etc (I except we won’t see that infobabe anymore). No follow-up or discussion. Instantly transitioned into a Trump bashing panel. (I don’t remember on what topic, but like it matters).
I recently burned about 50 flags, in public. I invited local media, the mayor and the Fire Department.
We were following the Flag Code and respectfully disposing of unserviceable flags by burning them.
The local news did a great report and treated it with the respect I desired.
That said, burning a US flag in protest is detestable. Instead of jail, I propose that there be a law stating the maximum penalty for beating the snot out of a protester who burns a flag. I propose a $20 fine.
I joined Twitter just so I can get Trump tweets. I just love how he trolls the liberals.
Dude’s trollin’ the liberals.
I love it. :)
My view is strip them of their citizenship and deport them.
People who hate their country have already in their minds, betrayed it.
Being an American isn’t a right, its a privilege.
Do you remember, back in the old days, when ESPN actually talked about sports?
Power plants should wrap each new boxcar load of coal with American flags before burning it.
That should tie-up our entire Federal Court system for the next 99 years.
There is a proper, ceremonial way and time to burn an American flag to retire it from use, unless what I learned in the BSA years ago has been rendered obselete. I just find it funny that Hillary and other Democrats were against burning the flag, but are now for it just because they lost elections.
They can’t help but fall for his psyops
They just hate that there country doesn’t make their candidates win, and throw a childish temper tantrum about it. It is for these immature adults that our nation is essentially doomed.
Same libs who scream about hate speech defend it.
The irony is complete.
