giving money to political groups is seen as being analogous to "speech." However by your dictionary it isn't speech per se so therefore isn't worthy of Constitutional protection. My point regarding the US flag is similar; using it make a political statement is a form of speech and should be protected.

I don't want folks put in jail for burning the flag.
It should be shameful and an embarrassment to be so stupid you have to burn our flag to spew hatred. That you are so selfish and shallow that a point of pride for the men who defend your right to speech is easily disrespected in the ultimate possible manner.
News outlets should post names and neighborhoods should blacklist.
People like you don't make that so, you coddle the practice.
You may have a right to burn my flag but that don't make it right.
