What is more important?

Absolutely, that's where the law came from. No one has the right to say to anyone else (in effect) "Get out of here, or we'll kill you and your family". Now if those morons wanted to just say why they did not like people (for whatever reason), that should be allowed (but answered by others).

If someone were to use the flag to do the same as the KKK did/do, they should be prosecuted for violating civil rights. But if they just want to be an idiot and burn it to 'oppose' American policies, it should be allowed (and answered by tru Americans).
 
Yeah, right......... :rolleyes:

I guess in my 21 years in the Navy I saw about 20 gay guys kicked out for making sexual advances at Straight guys.....
 
The only instances I know of where cross-burning is illegal is when it is meant to intimidate someone else. And these statutes have been ruled unconstitutional. And they should all be challenged on any vagueness. No one has the right NOT to be offended.

I could light one up right now (at least until a fire ban is enacted from the dryness).

The only thing this Amendment would prove is that America IS turning fascist.
 
no actually they didn't. We haven't officially declared war since Vietnam I think. And he can never have authority to go to war, Congress has to specifically declare war, that's how it was outlined in a little thing called the Constitution.
 
I would arrest anyone burning a flag in the middle of a street or in a public place. Why you ask?

Burning something like that outside of your own private property and not in a contained enviroment is against most state burning laws :)

Therefore, if not contained I would suggest a permit be needed to burn a flag.
 
I have never felt compelled to burn, or otherwise desecrate our flag. If I saw someone doing it I would do 1 of 3 things:

1) Ignore the idiot
2) Confront the unAmerican trash and demean them until they skulked away (or attempted to assault me)
3) If the person is from another country, take that country's flag and wipe my ass with it, then hand it to the 'protestor'
 
Carter was a Liberal President as was Clinton especially socially but like I said the democratic party has really changed.......Nut cases like Dean turn off most moderates and the only people that like him are the hard core far left....

Some one with that persuasion can not be elected president..........As you have seen Kerry did not carry one state in the South and Bush increased his margin of victory in every state he won................

Hey I am glad you lefties are moving farther left..It makes it much more easy for people on the right........
 
No there are no limits to speech, unless there is something against a law, I can say or do anything I want. A law has to be passed with a purpose. I don't need a reason to do or say something, you need a reason to tell me I can't do or say that. I have yet to see a good reason why I can't burn a flag. The reason I can't say "I'm gonna kill all the black people around" is that would be a threat, just as if I said to one person "I'm gonna kill you". There is a reason they can't say it, but there is no reason a person can't burn a flag other than the possibility of offending someone, that's not a good reason to make a law let alone ammend the Constitution.

And you are a hypocrite my friend, you say that liberals lose an election so they just cry and burn their flags, well Conservatives get offended, and go crying to the big bad government to do something about it, and then going around saying they are against big government. Of course they are, unless it will help them.
 
Do you consider Howard Dean, Ted Kennedy and John Kerry moderates? They are the leaders of the democratic party........The moderates are Bayh, Leiberman and Nelson from Nebraska who have zero chance of ever getting the democratic nomination...........

just curious, who would you like to see President?
 
That is exactly what the socialists and the left wing do at their protests....They are for violent overthrow of this country and make no bones about it..........
 
There is plenty of room for dissent.Our troops are dying so people like you can dissent..........

Hey I am very happy here..........I have everything I want.........I am not the one that said if Bush was re elected I would move to Canada.........

You can move to Canada or Spain now and marry your girlfriend..........go for it........Problem is truth be told you never had it so good........ :rolleyes:
