Good. Free Speech survives another election cycle.

Burning the symbol of this nation, and what it stands for, is not free speech.

IMO.

Main Entry: 2flag Function: noun Usage: often attributive Etymology: perhaps from 1flag 1 : a usually rectangular piece of fabric of distinctive design that is used as a symbol (as of a nation), as a signaling device, or as a decoration

Are you a flag burner?

If not, this amendment would have had aboslutely no effect on you.

If you're a flag burner, you're on the wrong website.

"Good. Free Speech survives another election cycle."

You have got to be kidding me.
I don’t consider burning the Flag as “free speech”. It is an expression, an expression of rage and hatred against this country.
• Running down a neighborhood street naked yelling foul things at all the houses you pass is an expression and is against the law.
• Using Road-Rage against someone that cut you off on the freeway is an expression and is against the law.
• Burning a cross in front of someone’s home is an expression and is against the law.

All three of these “expressions” anger people, disturb the peace, and invite at worse a violent response from those it offends. Do you not think burning Old Glory fits into this sort of expression? I do.

Lighting a fire is not free speech.
