I would certainly knock on neighbors door and request that they take the flag down. If not taken down I would compel the owner to do so.

So, you're saying that you aren't in favor of Freedom of Speech? What is your position on the other articles of the Bill of Rights?

Why not simply support legislation making it illegal to fly flags that Jim from C-Town finds distasteful?

Maybe you don't belong here at Free Republic.

Regards,

Perhaps I don't belong here either then.

There are limits to free speech. It isn't endless. You have some responsibilities as a citizen.

When you advocate the death and/or enslavement of your fellow citizens and the destruction of our constitutional government you've crossed the line. That is exactly what the flag of the ISIS stands for. Nothing less.

The legal definition of treason: "Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States."

Do you think you have the right to put up a sign that says “kill the president” or “kill your neighbor”. That’s exactly what the ISIS flag stands for. Again, there are limits to free speech.

I am all for freedom of speech and the responsibilities that entails. One of those responsibilities is to accept the reaction of ones peers. Besides I am not the government, I have nothing to do with the suppression of free speech, just a personal opinion about that speech.
