"Burning the flag is the ultimate free speech"

I used to believe that but I never could orate fire or a flag no matter how heard I tried.

The difficulty with free speech (or expression) is that it's not always what you want to read, hear, or see. The RNC plays into the hands of its political enemies by offering to "suppress freedom of expression" on behalf of the state. Statesmen know better. The RNC should know better! Where are the RNC statesmen with the courage to speak up on this matter? I saw one outvoted during the RNC convention's platform parliamentarian sessions. He made good points, but the well-meaning (and naive) flag wavers won the day.

Tell me why we're wasting time on this issue when thousands and thousands of Mexicans will illegally immigrate into America in the next year?

The RNC needs to get to work on the real issues facing America. Leave the first amendment alone. Dilluting it in any way does not serve the cause of freedom.

So such a freedom should only apply to talking? Not to writing, chat, blogging, painting, sculpture, singing, etc?

Or is only approved methods of approved speech to be free?
