so true. I cant wrap my brain around the difference between burning a flag in
protest and burning an old flag (which is the proper disposal method).
either we have the freedoms stated in the bill of rights.............. or we dont.

6. Requiring protestors to go to free speech zones which are miles from
where the president is
(bye bye 1st amendment)
7. attempting to pass a anti-flag burning amendment
(bye bye 1st amendment)
Plus why is a protestor burning a flag more disgraceful then a business that
flies dirty red/white/blue rags infront of their business? Or politicians
that use old glory as a podium covering? Or sports that use it for uniforms?
8. Creating a new class of people called "enemy combatants" and ignoring all
US and international law regarding their treatment.
9. Guilty until proven innocent if you want to board an airplane


But if you want to pretend you're free, go and wave a flag around.
