Uh...let's see...if I'm protesting the administration of government in the country and I burn the flag as a symbol of that government, how is it not political speech?
But I know that you really don't believe that it isn't speech, because you concede that it is political speech in your example to me--you say "hatred of America." Why do they burn a flag? To show hatred of America. It is EXACTLY speech. You know it, I know it. You're just trying to rationalize in order to make yourself feel better about banning speech.
"You know it, I know it. You're just trying to rationalize in order to make yourself feel better about banning speech."
Your views are also very odd and it marvels me that someone would fight so hard for people to be able to desecrate our flag. But I guess some people just don't think things through.
Let's pass the amendment . . .
