A Whoopie is something I leave in the toilet every morning about 9.

[Seeing More Clearly Now]

Whoopi Goldberg: A woman who has made a name as an African American woman with a Jewish last name, a vacuum between her ears, and a mouth filled with raging illogic. Big Whoop! Only in America can a career be made from this.

“[T]hey don’t hate the country.”

Yes, they do. Moron.

Yep, just ask them.

“Didn’t Scalia also say that if it were up to him, he’d jail ‘em?”

I believe the said that if he were king and there was no Constitution, he would make it against the law to burn the flag.

And being that Justice Scalia understood that he was not king and we did have a Constitution with a First Amendment, he voted with the majority in Texas v. Johnson.

Is burning rainbow flags OK?

Quality post.

[Fiddlstix]

If we burn an effigy of whoopi does that mean we don’t hate her? Is it an expression of love?

Why not find out. ROFL

[Secret Agent Man]

It is only patriotic to burn a flag, when that flag is taken out of service for being worn out, and when done in a respectful manner.

[Cobra64]

Anyone who desecrates our Flag should be arrested and executed by a military firing squad.

[ There would be no grounds to deport a legal non citizen for burning a flag. ]

BULL SH!T!!!!

Anyone here who is not a citizen and hasn’t gone through the entire LEGAL IMMIGRATION process is here at the DISCRETION of the US government and IT’S PEOPLE. EVEN IF THEY HAVE A VISA!

If not, this is how is SHOULD BE!

Is burning rainbow flags OK?

Yeah, try it and see just how quickly the Left jumps to your defense when you are called a "hater".

Then you can really impress them by paraphrasing Whoopie's words: "[Those who burn the rainbow flag] don’t hate [gays]. Stop saying that!"

To Whoopie (and the millions on the Left who, like her, are controlled by their emotions) I quote Edmund Blackadder: "The eyes are open, the lips are moving, but Mr. Brain has long since departed!"

[RummyChick]

He followed the Constitution..not his personal beliefs. He did not think SCOTUS should be tenured legislators.

I emailed trump people earlier tonight about this, a country cannot have freedom of speech and also have hate speech crimes/penalties.

It’s like trying to cut a baby (speech) in two. It (the country and people as a whole) will not survive/thrive.

Some people are so easily offended that almost anything you say is offensive (hate speech) to them. ‘

IE: whoopi goldberg

[Timpanagos1]

How the laws should be and how they are are two entirely different things.

The way it is, is that non-citizens, with very few exceptions, are protected by the Bill of Rights.

That’s free speech, that’s right to bear arms for legal non citizens, that’s 4th-6th Amendment Rights.

[generally]

I would not make it illegal (even though I despise it). So far the only think I know of that I disagree with Scalia on. And yet another thing to admire him for: He did what is right and constitutional, not what he preferred.

[hal ogen]

whoopi is the Supreme Moron of morons. I laugh at both her idiocy and her lunacy.

[RummyChick]

I really will be surprised if Trump can find someone like him.

Will probably end up with some version of Roberts

[b4me]

and I should have further said - people so easily offended are the ones with unbalanced thinking. They need to address it not everyone walk on egg shells around them.

I can speak of this because I used to be easily offended.
It’s lack of God and following Jesus and having huge selfishness at the root. Need to realize world does not revolve around them.
