Good. Free Speech survives another election cycle.
Agreed.
Burning the symbol of this nation, and what it stands for, is not free speech.
IMO.

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.
A'yup!
