Burning American Flag....

[Pogo]

Hundreds of thousands of Americans have defended that flag, many have died doing so.

when you burn it, you're pissing on their sacrifice.

Umm... I don't think so. Many have died defending the country. The piece of cloth... not so much.

 

[Where_r_my_Keys]

Yep, I agree. A fascist doesn't know what a fascist sounds like.

Your concession is duly noted and summarily accepted.

 

[HappyJoy]

unacceptable or acceptable as "freedom of speech"?

I used to care... I don't care any more. It currently represents communism/socialism/redistribution of income/entitlements/satanism/murdering babies. It's not the grand ole flag for me any more. So eff it, let the democrat scum burn it, let the democrat scum eat shit and baby parts and puke all over it. We voted for these scum. Elections matter.

Ok, I was going to use it as a pic-nic blanket and have a nice lunch but you totally ruined that for me. Thanks,.

To those who burn it, or agree with burning it. You can kiss my Rebel Ass.

I already accepted yours because I knew you were going to say that. So, thanks. If you say it again it means we are dating.

Why burn a flag? Surely a flag does not emit sufficient light or heat. Burning a flag is nothing other than political speech.

Remember, all you who would summarily attack a flag burner, there is no right to attack anyone without cause, and your offense at flag burning is insufficient cause.

And remember too that protected rights are often unpopular. The popular expressions of rights don't require protection as much as unpopular expressions of rights.

LOL!

Isn't that adorable? It's a RIGHT to injure others by stating one's INTENTION TO DESTROY THAT WHICH THE STANDARD REPRESENTS!

There is no such right...

Americans, where you find a flag burner, simply burn the flag burner... YOU will be doing precisely the same thing they're doing. In effect, all you're doing is burning the symbol represented in the body of the flag burner, just as they're burning to symbol that represents YOU!

Walking around town carrying a rifle is legal but is done to offend...should it be allowed?
Driving around in an SUV with a deliberately smokey exhaust to piss off the tree huggers...should it be allowed?

Umm... I don't think so. Many have died defending the country. The piece of cloth... not so much.

IMO we are a nation divided. We should have two flags. One for the piece of shit socialists that want to destroy it from within and another for the people who love America.

 

[Pogo]

What you're feeling for, is for rights to come with no responsibility and there is no such thing.

Then where do you get off assuming the right to assault without responsibility?

Oopsie.

And this is because if you tolerate flag burning, SOME DAY you will end up governed by a government that licenses the murder of pre-born children, spends itself into bankruptcy, arms your enemies while importing that enemy into the country by the TENS of MILLIONS, while it uses the IRS to attack YOU, as a means to prevent YOU from organizing effective political opposition, even as it licenses sexual degeneracy while prosecuting YOU for your refusal to accept such... so on and so forth.

Complete non sequitur.

A flag is a symbol. Nothing more. A piece of cloth. Whether one salutes it or burns it has no impact on the country it's a symbol for nor the rights it guarantees.

What does have the potential to follow the existence and fetish-worship of such a symbol is the jingoistic jackboot assault mentality like yours, attempting to enforce thought control on other people at the end of a fist.

Fuck that authoritarian wankitude. It's what this country is founded to get away from.

They have one.

and another for the people who love America.

So do we

 

[Pogo]

It's not something I would do but it's a 1st Amendment right. If someone chooses to attack anybody for expressing their rights then that would be assault. I guess there is at least a couple of retards who don't get that.

Actually the two goons here advocating that course, kind of demonstrate why this kind of fetishism is dangerous medicine. Stirs up the shit-stirrers.

Edit: sorry Obi, didn't see you there. Three goons.

Just because you have no respect for the Symbols of this Nation does not make it "fetishism".

Nope, it wouldn't. Nor did I post anything like that.
But the fact that a piece of cloth is held up as idolatry, defended with fisticuffs by authoritarian self-styled bouncers and mandated to have a loyalty oath attached to that idolatry, does.

Reader, how cool is it that "THE PROBLEM"; meaning the individuals who are 100% responsible for every single thing that is culturally destructive in this nation.

They claim a right to distribute pornography, while claiming no responsibility for the destructive effects of such.

They claim a right to consume addictive substances, with no concern for any sense of responsibility for the degenerative effect that such produces.

They claim a right to not-work and be subsidized for such.

They claim a right to behave in every manner of sexual deviancy, caring not a bit about the degenerative effect that such produces.

They claim a right to steal from others, to injure others, to murder others...

And so on and so forth... "They" are, in every sense of the word, the simple but destructive manifestation of UNADULTERATED EVIL!

Now they come to defend the burning of the symbol that has for far too long, tolerated the evil that they perpetrate, and to claim such as their "RIGHT".

And this despite there being no potential for such a right to exist.

Americans, where you find a flag burner, simply burn the flag burner... YOU will be doing precisely the same thing they're doing. In effect, all you're doing is burning the symbol represented in the body of the flag burner, just as they're burning to symbol that represents YOU!

So the distinction between a piece of cloth and a human being eludes you.
Informative.

So do we

You must be one of those bigoted piece of shit so called christians.

 

[Pogo]

You simply believe that the 'offense' is rhetorical, when in point of the facts, with regad to those who burn the flag and what they always represent... and this without exception and the history of their cult of Foreign Ideas Hostile to American Principle... they have and are intent upon continuing their efforts to destroy my nation.

Flag as voodoo doll. Stick a pin on this star here.... destroy Wyoming there.
What a concept.

And there's no potential for a right for someone to threaten one's life, family, town, state and nation ... none, whatsoever.

Great. So you'll be disavowing your first few posts in this thread where you pledged to do exactly that.
Lemme know when that happens.

 

[Where_r_my_Keys]

I already accepted yours ... .

LOL! But you are an imbecile. So what you accept is irrelevant to anyone of sound mind and is therefore worthless in any endeavor which is participated in, by people of sound mind.

I'm one of those bigoted pieces of shit............so called Christians........................

When it comes from them.........I'll gladly accept that award from the Idiot left................Anyone who openly disgraces the flag, burns it, shits on it...............Deserve NO RESPECT FROM ME.........................

If they don't like that comment........................Complaints are being taken in the 3rd port-o-let on the right...........In the Basement................

Where did anyone at all even bring these up, let alone "claim a right to" them?

On the other hand I can point to exactly where you claimed the right to assault speech you disagree with...

There are no Christian Leftists... and that's because Nature precludes the means for one to simultaneously adhere to both the Thesis and the Antithesis.

IMO anyone that wants to harm gays by accusing them of dividing the county cause they wanted to have marriage rights... those are the ones burning the Flag and everything it stands for. If you won't protect gays from harm by the christian mob... FYI I'm not left. I'm conservative christian... but I don't believe in harming others just because they are weak. But I'm guessing YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH.
