Okay ... if flying the Confederate Flag is a 1st Amendment issue ... burning the US Flag is a 1st Amendment issue ... right? You would be just fine watching someone burn the US Flag ... right?

To me ... both are an issue of just because you can .... doesn’t mean you should.

The state flags of a few southern states have a form of the confederate battle flag incorporated into their designs. Are you saying that you believe these states should change their state flags to purge any form of the confederacy from their flag designs?

Mississippi State Flag:

Should they change their flag design?

Georgia state flag:

Instead of incorporating the battle flag, the Georgia flag design is much closer to the flag of the Confederacy. Should this flag also be redesigned so it is not so insensitive to the sensibilities of the perpetually easily offended?

You’ve got your tail in a twist over nothing. My POINT was that the Courts have held that the First Amendment ALLOWS anyone to BURN the Strts and Stripes if they wish to. NOW it seems one cannot fly the Confederate flag IF THEY WISH TO so the First Amendment allows the destruction of the U.S. Flag under Free Speech but does not allow the free speech of flying the Confederate flag. GET IT?????
