Supposition does not really enter the debate. Among other things, the flag
is a symbol of our freedom of speech. When some damn fool burns the flag, he is asserting that his rights, his freedoms, should go up in smoke. Not me;
him. It is one of the all time classic liberal gestures of pure stupidity, indeed. I say, let him burn it (then fine the hell out of him for violating every local fire ordinance possible). I just wish more people would see flag burning for what it is: an attack
against our freedoms.
The funny thing is, the fascist libs who partake in stupid activities such as flag burning are the very same ones who push for hate-crimes legislation. They don't want it both ways; they want things their way, always.
