Are you for a Constitutional Amendment banning burning the flag?

hey, im a republican VOR and its pretty damn amazing how those on our side have done that exact same thing that you just accused the dems {or as you like to call them liberals} you are accusing the liberals of doing.

I do believe VOR, that you may be blessed with that thing called "selective memory", eh?
 
We shall see, I think making and example of a couple of the scum that burn the American Flag like say about 5 years hard labor for the first offense just might deter them a teeny bit...........
 
Some people would say that launching long range missiles and killing innocenet civilians was a diversion to take the heat off of Monica and he in the oval office......
 
No, you're on the wrong side of history. Read the latest polls on who approves of the war. The election is history.

And I'm not a liberal. Your broad brush is a sign of ignorance.
 
VoR, You say that you are an American Patriot, and that is why you want a Constitutional Amendment to stop flag burning. Well I think it all comes down to what we mean by "American Patriot".

By American Patriot I would define that as: "Someone who wants to do what is best for Amercia and to hold up the ideals of Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness that are reflected in our Constitution."

Would you agree with this as a definition?
 
Don't you get it? The law would be incredibly easy to circumvent. Can't burn the American flag? Take a stripe off - it's not the American flag anymore, but it looks like one. Burn it, and the state can't arrest you.
 
Yes, it is obvious how much you love freedom.


Yes, to protect their freedom.
They need you to beat the freedom into them.


They died to protect the flag-burner's freedom.
How dare you denegrate their sacrifice....
Shame on you....

I see how you anti-american freedom hating fascists operate...

It's sad... so sad......
 
Oh no, here comes the Thought Police. In the name of patriotism, let's turn America into a communist dictatorship!

Totalitarians like you cannot be called patriots in any part of the democratic West. If you advocate for the destruction of freedom, the suppression of criticism of the State, then you are an enemy of the American people.
 
How about this guy? You think he understanRAB?

Just a short summary and some quotes so those who do not want to visit the page can still follow.

Gary May lost both his legs in vietnam. he testified last year AGAINST a flag burning amendment. Here are some quotes:



No offense or anything, VOR, but that trumps your "i had to work long hours on a boat" whining pretty badly.



This would seem to vindicate my earlier accusation that you don't knwo WTF people are fighting for, because you were not one of them. you are just spewing typical REMF rhetoric.





He certainly hits the nail on the head here. This is nothing but shameless political wrangling by the republics who know they are in deep trouble now that their war has been exposed as a lie.

The american Bar association ran a poll that showed that 63% of americans were supportive of a flag burning amendment....until it was pointed out that it would be the first tie an amendment in the constitution limited a right. Then the number dropped by 10%. You cannot pass a constitutional amendment with only 53% support. Even if it goes through congress, the states have to ratify it, and it just isn't going to happen with 53% support.



It didn't work in Nazi Germany or Russia under Stalin either.

You do realize that last year there was only one single reproted incident of flag burning in the US, right?? Your argumetn abotu turning on Cspan and seeing americans burning the flag is a bunch of BS.
 
there is a constitutional amendment banning burning of the flag in the Constitution? lol, ok man, whatever you say :rolleyes:

However, I think you mean't it is included in the 1st amendment (as in being allowed to burn it)...and in that case you are correct. It sadly is. However, an amendment would amend this now wouldn't it :).

A good article to read by the way...
