If you can't understand that, then you don't understand the principles that our country was founded upon.

Amen! Well said! While I don't condone burning the Flag of The United States of America, I do understand the constitution well enough to know that such an act is a form of excercising free speech (Something we are guaranteed by The Constitution.).

Those of you who would have laws passed against such a thing had better be aware that to do so would do more to harm our nation than any protester burning a flag could do. Such a law would in fact, be unconstitutional.

That's why the flagolaters want a constitutional ammendment. Imposing their worship of the state on the rest of us is constitutional, by definition, if done that way. OPH has it just right. I've a very nice, made in USA, sewn and embroidered US Flag, which I fly on a fairly regular basis. It will not survive the passage of any "anti-flag desecration" act or ammendment.

Gee, my freedom of speech is limited everytime I go thru the airport scanner and those mean old people make me stop talking about bombs. Guess they're being unconstitutional, huh?
