House Approves Move to Outlaw Flag Burning

Just repeal the first amendment, and so many other "problems" will go away that the flag amendment would not be necessary. In this time of drug wars Terrorism, we can't be hampered by this quaint antiquity.

Hey, if you aren't going to do anything wrong (anything that offends the government), you'll have nothing to worry about.

What about my right to not breathe second hand smoke from a burning flag?

Good one. But until they disallow car exhaust ...

If burning the flag is free speech, so is my kicking the crap out of anyone who is doing it. Hey, I'm just expressing my views. What about my rights?

Such an eloquent expression of logic..... Hulk mad, Hulk smash.

Then no similar protesting against Nazi, Communist, Aryan, KKK, U.N., E.L.F., France, Syria, Iran, Liberals, etc with any of their symbols.

Especially with the current SCOTUS. They would probably ban all mascots and symbolic references to any sports team, group, college, etc. to "protect" them from bad people. Next thing you know, all the holiday symbols are no longer allowed on your property. Can't celebrate Independence day because the flag could be threatened. Either we ALL have the right protest by defacing an enemies' symbol or NONE of us do. If you were an adult in 1942, what would you do if you had Nazi flag and a Japanese flag handed to you? For me, toilet paper, target practice, etc.

It's like the gun-control crowd; "you can't have "these" guns."

Letting anger and emotions rule is a liberal flaw. It enters their world, so let them be lonely.

I am guessing you missed the sarcasm.

Nah, I just wanted to watch... :)
That way I can scapegoat and say "I saw it on TV, it wasn't my fault". My right to watch and say "somebody DO something".

But, yeah I did miss the sarcasm. I wasn't sure how serious you were. I reaped the rewards of posting late and having my foot in front of mouth.

I've been there myself. No problem.

Seems like most of what our flag stands for is disappearing in a hurry anyway.
