"What I'm trying to say is that if people want to burn the flag let them. There should be consequences though. Consequences such as revoking their citizenship. If someone wants to burn the flag, don't let them vote, hold a government job, or get any federal aid for at least 4 years. Then they get an opportunity to apply for citizenship."
Put the bong down, and head to bead. It will be better in the morning...
1. The proposed amendment is because there is very little that can be done legally if someone is burning the flag. So, no amendment, no laws.
2. Revoke citizenship... jeez. This is sarcasm, right?
As much as I think that many forms of speech shouldn't be protected, I'd rather err on the side of broad bounderies than to have some overzealous cop pull me over because my car has a red, white and blue paint scheme.
Actually, I was just pissed off. It almost brings tears to my eyes when I think of Americans dissing their own country.
I hate to say it but when I hear the star spangle banner or any other patriotic song I get all teary eyed and feel a great sense of pride. If I ever see someone burning a flag where I live I will excersize my right to kick their ass.
