I am trying to find other articles about how some flags are good to burn, but others are not.

[Unam Sanctam]

I don't see how one can justify one and not the other. Either their both freedom of expression or neither is. Same for cross burnings.

"Go grab a gay pride or Islamofacist flag, set that on fire somewhere, and see what happens to you -- if you want to find out how 'universally understood' flag-burning is."

-Rush Limbaugh-

[DoughtyOne]

The thought is that if you burn a flag other than the U.S. flag, it's an act of hate. If you burn the U.S. flag it's simply an act of protest.

It's amazing we still have any semblence of a nation left whatsoever, with the milti-pronged assault that's being launched against it, from without and within.

I bet this one's protected.

[robertpaulsen]

Oooh. I bet you can't burn this one either.

Point: a permit is required to burn any flag.

Sounds silly. But, maybe they don't care one way or the other just as long as you have your $50 flag burning permit.

...only a minor restriction on free expression

Any Restriction is TOO MUCH

[New Girl]

I didn't realize that the rainbow flag was recognized and protected under federal law.

[HarmlessLovableFuzzball]

Once the majority of Americans have turned gay (out of choice and/or cultural pressure from the media), it will become illegal to burn the national flag too.

Flag burning releases toxins into the air, wastes gasoline, and presents a danger to by-standers.

What responsible city council would allow such behavior.

Flag-burning presents a level of danger several orders of magnitude above smoking, yet smoking is banned in nearly ALL public places.

THERE ARE MORE THAN ONE WAY OF SKINNING A CAT --the left taught us.

Someone stole or ripped a homo rainbow flag in a town near me, it was lauded by the media as a hate crime, and not sure, (I will try to find the article) but I believe the person will be prosecuted. Course that's MA, but what happens here spreads like a plaque!!

[Captain Rhino]

Ray Vasvari, legal counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio, said that as long as the fire code takes no position on the message a flag burner is trying to convey and spells out the reasons a permit can be approved or denied, then it is constitutional.

Thank you very much ACLU for the strategy to prohibit burning of the United States flag! Just ban ALL flag burning without a federal permit and then don't issue them...er...that is, set a multitude of impossible conditions to be met by the permit applicant.

[gaijin]

The question is not so much whether to permit flag-burning or not so much as it is a question of, "How do we make flag burning SAFE?"

The following restrictions seem reasonable:

1. Use of any petroleum-based accelerant is disallowed.

2. There can be no bystanders or spectators, who could be burned.

3. No person shall operated an electronic device (like a minicam) near flag conflagrations, in order to protect against the possibility of electrical sparks. These could trigger a fire at a premature time.

4. Flag burners shall insure their unobserved event to the amount of $100,000.

5. Flag burners shall register their event with the authorities and provide for police attendance.

6. Flag burners shall post signs at the remote burn site one week in advance, to alert potential by-standers.

7. Flag burners will not store flags in a high-capacity flag container, nor shall they perform rapid, successive burnings of flags.

8. No burning of "junk flags", or flags adorned with exotic, amour-piercing flagpost tips.

Not flag burning but gives some insight.
