I do think that these bums have the right under the Constitution to tear up our flag.

I also think citizens should be free under those circumstances to "share our differing opinion" with them. Tearing up our flag is the equivalent of "fighting words."

Destroying the flag ought to be akin to "mishandling" Korans.

But only right-wing extremists are interested in the flag, right? Basically, anyone from anywhere can come here and defile the long-standing symbols that are important to Americans as freedom of expression.

But if any American returns the favor, it's likely a hate crime.

This country's just nucking futs. I wish I knew the cure.
