I don't know if it's the ultimate free speech. It's hard to conceive of an appropriate moment for flag burning (other than the prescribed method for retiring used ones).

It doesn't matter how appropriate the speech or expression thereof. How appropriate is calling Pres. Bush a liar? How appropriate are the speeches or placards at a KKK rally?

Is appropriate speech to be the only speech allowed?

Freedom of speech means being able to express ignorant, wrong, or simply unpopular viewpoints - or it isn't free.

Thank you. I hope your voice is heard by the RNC. They are driving away good Americans who would like to switch parties with these kinds of initiatives.
