I do not care about what is being burned, open fires in public is a threat to public safety... it is not speech...
Fire is not speech, never has been, never will be...
Fires are not speech, you are correct.
Are drawings speech? No. Should a drawing of a fat-assed hillary or a Pinochio-nosed bill clinton be protected or should they be regulated by the federal government?
Is mime or silent theater speech? No. Should the fedgov regulate political satire done in mime or silent theater?
If you cannot object to burning a Koran or Nazi in protest, then you can't object to burning a US flag without abandoning principle. No, I wouldn't do anything to stop someone from burning a Koran or Nazi flag but I probably would if I saw someone doing the same to a US flag. Just because the feds don't regulate something doesn't mean there won't be repercussions for such activity done in public.
And we both know that the public safety aspect is hogwash and need not be mentioned any more. Too many ways exist to satisfy safety issues for that to be anything more than verbal static.
