But, the Durbin amendment had that provision that if you used a flag as toilet paper after discrediting heroic efforts in the middle east and were a leftist, you could burn them by the dozen.

"But, the Durbin amendment had that provision that if you used a flag as toilet paper after discrediting heroic efforts in the middle east and were a leftist, you could burn them by the dozen."

Exactly.

It defeats the purpose of the original amendment -

NO FLAG BURNING!

Burning a flag totally disrespects those who DIED for it. It's a symbol that gave them hope and pride.

If you can't ARTICULATE your disagreement - burning a flag won't do it. Burning a flag is NOT SPEECH. It is a despicable ACT.

Are your sure about that? I thought the Durbin amendment was that if you get 10 people to piss on a flag, its then ok to burn it...
