A little bit in here for everyone.

He tries to make a point about the (American) flag as a flag not meaning anything, but characterizes the Swastika flag in which "malevolence courses through its fibers."

Inconsistency, thy name is Liberalism. Or stupidity.

But I repeat myself.

I wonder, would he defend the right for the Klan to burn crosses using the same logic?

Having myself fought for that flag and what it stands for, and the Constitution which it represents, I have to agree that there should be NO constitutional amendment that keeps it from being legally burned.

But at the same time, don't get in my way when I catch someone in my eyesight trying to desecrate it.

I don't want to see the American flag burned. But I still want my right to burn it.

The proper way to dispose of an old flag is to burn it. it is part of Flag etiquette.

When a flag is so worn it is no longer fit to serve as a symbol of our country, it should be destroyed by burning in a dignified manner.

We did this at a boyscout jamboree once. It was done with great respect.

He didn't have a problem with burning an American flag but when it comes to a nazi flag "I can't burn it either."

Liberal and stupid. They often go together.

I think that burning your own American flag on your own property should be fine, if you want.
I also think that if I see someone burning an American flag on someone elses property, it should be legal for me or someone else to open up a can of whoop-ass on them.

It is interesting how I should be allowed to burn the USA Flag due to my freedom of speech but yet, if I burn a gay flag, Mexican flag, or even a Muslim flag, this would be consider hate speech and I would probably be prosecuted.......
