I’m beginning to think that the appropriate consequences for flag burning is a one way ticket to the country of their choice, effective immediately. If anyone so despises this country and all it stands for, they don’t need to live here. But to spit in the face of the place that gives then such freedoms is unconscionable.

The quality of America hating lefties has really declined at Yale over the years. Hilary and BillyBob’s generation of America hating lefties would never be caught so easy.

Is burning logs in your fireplace free speech?
The above is a very poor comparison to “Flag Burning.”

Send them to our Cuban prison and let them think it over for several years, then deport them.

That’s Mennonites. My wife and I were both raised Mennonite.
We like to say we were Mennonites until we became Christians.
I doubt that they would burn the flag.

The above is a very poor comparison to Flag Burning. I agree...you're right.
Still, my point remains:
My flag. My property. Nobody is being physically harmed by my actions. The government is not allowed to tell me what I may do with my belongings on my property.

Just for fun, could we pass laws requiring flags to be recycled? In many areas you can’t burn leaves; you have to bag them. Why not pass a similar law on flags? Why can’t my burning of leaves be a First Amendment issue showing my disgust for Al Gore and his ilk?
To: Puppage
Ah, sweet youth....send ‘em home and let them see just glorious life really is, especially when our Marines or Army and Air Force personnael are hunting them down like the dogs they are. Maybe, if they are lucky, missles from our Navy guys will find their new home away from home. Just desserts for a couple of creeps! Burn my flag and I’ll bury your sorry ass as deep as possible, preferably in Hell.

Let me get this right... They were arrested because the flag was still attached to the pole of someone's house...
..but if they'd taken the flag off the pole and stomped & burned it on the sidewalk, no problem...no arrest ~sarcasm
Actually, that's a good thing. Do you remember those pictures of the militants torching an American flag, with the caption reading "this thing is worth this much, and that thing is worth that much...", and then you come to the third picture, and the Towel-Head catches himself on fire, and the caption reads: "Priceless"? Well, it's the same thing here. If these guys had just gone out and bought a flag, and burned it, they couldn't be touched. But since they burned it while it was still attached to the house, they have opened themselves up to arson charges. Priceless.

Nikolaos Angelopoulos? Send him home—they’ll probably do worse to him than we could even imagine.

Otherwise, Ill admit, I would have had a fit about someone being arrested for flag burning.
From your homepage - "I switched back to Democrat after moving to Connecticut, because my wife's family are heavily involved in politics"
Don't look now, but your lack of principles is showing.

I did not mean to insult Mennonites, should have included /s.
Poor attempt at derision directed at MSM.
To: Nailbiter
No insult taken, I was just pointing out that there are two n’s in Mennonite.
