If it’s your flag on your property, go right ahead.
Vandalism is a crime. That’s what graffiti taggers are prosecuted on ... they’re excercising their free speech in the form of spray paint on other people’s property. To stop them is not a free speech issue, it’s a vandalism issue.
Is it ok to vandalize a car with a “Support our Troops” bumper sticker on it?
Is it ok to vandalize a car with an “Impeach Bush” bumber sticker on it?
Where is the line?
Hey I didnt say it....the ACLU did.
I am just following what they proport qualifies as freedom of speech. Thats what happens when you push things past a
reasonable degree. There are federal laws still on the books about flying the flag. The ACLU has taken it upon themselves in the spirit of freedom of speech to say ...”While there is indeed a federal law regulating the display of the U.S. flag, that law is merely advisory.”
Since when is a law advisory?????
So in that spirit if I break a law destroying property while expressing my freedom of speech ...it too should be ok.
Get that I am not in agreement with destroying property..I do have some ethics, however...I will take down an improperly flown Mexican flag..and I applaud those that do.
Be careful what you wish for (when you say viva freedom of speech)...you just might get it.
In answer to your question...where is the line?
If its a law ...ITS A LAW...not an advisory. If this law were respected and enforced then we wouldnt have the problem or atmosphere we now have.
