Next year we should get some Freepers to have a counter-flag burn. N. Korea, France, China, Iran, Hezballa, Syria, UN all sound like the beginning of a good list. Ironically the one that would really piss them off would be a Gay Pride flag.

I don't care if anyone is gay but the Rainbow Flag symbolizes an agenda to make it mandatory to celebrate, venerate the gay lifestyle while continueing lies about the "shared" reality of Aids and the overall necessity to denigrate heterosexuals and heterosexual marriage while demanding the same right.

I'll guarantee you that the one vote short on the Flag Burning Amendment was just a coincidence. Republicans don't really want to pass it, they like bringing it up every election year. Notice that conservative Republicans Mitch McConnell and Robert Bennett voted against it, as if the leadership couldn't get one more vote. McConnell will likely be majority leader when Frist retires, so its as clear a ploy as can be.

Sha Lar is has an unlisted phone number, but there is a Brent Adams in Santa Cruz who is listed. Odds are he's not the one this story is about.

If these people really were interested in celebrating freedom of speech they'd have their phone numbers listed.

Its really simple. We don't need to change the current law about flag desecration. We just need to decriminalize physical assault on flag burners.

I believe that the Senate made a mistake in not passing the Amendment on to the States.

It is also my belief that any American citizen who miliciously burns or descreates the American Flag should be hanged.

People in foreign lands who burn the American Flag I can understand their actions. They hate us and hate what we stand for. Not everyone loves us.

It is the sorry bastards that call themselves American citizens that descreate and burn the symbol of what America stands for and represents America that gets my goat. If they do not like this Country, Fine and Good have the dencency to leave and go to another Country. But to take advantage of the protections and privilleges that this Flag provides and then disrespect and injure it makes my blood boil.
