A victory for private property rights and the 1st amendment.

Thank you. Common sense does still exist.

Would it be lawful to publically stand naked in broad daylight on your front porch and urinate while shouting: "Piss on the United States of America?"

But you don't support free speech anyway. You're the first person to become outraged and to demand the government crack skulls when the chokehold that atheism has on our public schools is challenged.

Some of you Souvrn'rs still pushin' for the pre-eminence of property rights over everything else.

Look, you lost the war, the slaves got freed, and it's time to get over it and move on.

A victory for private property rights and the 1st amendment.

Absolutely. Touch a flag that belongs to me, and you and I have problems. Buy your own flag and burn it, I don't care. All that does is prove you're an ass.

A victory for private property rights and the 1st amendment.

Some victory. As the law now stands, they can take your house to give to a politically connected developer or throw you in jail for making a political contribution, but your right to burn the flag or consume pornography are well protected.

Hate speech is probably trickier: you can be sanctioned for saying anything disagreeable about most religions, but you can count on absolute protection for the most vile treatment of anything Christian.

The vote for the burning of the flag, I promise you will fill up the hospitals with flag burners. :) It's time.
