Anti-Crime Executive Orders

[Frankenstein]

The UNITED STATES Supreme Court has ruled that flag burning is protected under freedom of expression.

How do you feel about someone burning a pride flag?

 

[Frankenstein]

As long as it doesn't burn down someone else's property, I don't care if someone wants to make a political statement by burning any flag. I may not like it or agree with it, but this is supposed to be a free country. The authoritarian RINOs who want to outlaw everything they don't like would probably feel much more at home in North Korea. Stop cheering for turning the US into an authoritarian militarized police state.

So you are fine with pride flags burning?

I own a couple of nice ones that will soon be reduced to ashes. Now that they remind me of that orange piece of shit, I can't stand looking at them anymore.

What part of "I don't care if someone wants to make a political statement by burning any flag" did you not understand?

Not that it matters, but since you asked, I detest the entire idea of gay "pride." As a Christian, I believe that the whole gay pride thing is celebrating a sin. So unless you've never read any of my posts, I don't know why you would ask that question, right after I finished stating I don't care if people want to burn any flag as long as they're not destroying someone else's property.

Oh wait, I do know why. Hyperpartisan binary thinking strikes again.

 

[Delldude]

Government isn't the way to handle this sort of thing.

Make lynching great again?

There it is, the Orange Blob desecrating the American Flag and cult followers said nothing.

What was the charge?

Same First Amendment protects that as well.

Not entirely true.

Oh wow, you could not be more wrong. I feel the same. I do think burning the flag in political protest is absurd, as it represents the county not one ideology politically. I am also a Christian with the same thought on gay pride. For the record, I wouldn't burn either. I do not think causing more division, would be a good witnessing tool.

I too wouldn't burn either, and I agree that causing more division and doing something people perceive as hateful is not a good witnessing tool. But it shouldn't be criminalized. I think the tweet below kinda sums things up...




Anyway, when I mentioned binary thinking my point was that just by asking me that question about burning the gay flag you seemed to be assuming that I'm a leftie... but its ok, I don't want to belabor the point. lol.

if someone sprayed lighter fluid on it youde defend them .

But have you noticed that each one if his "trolls" actually has an impact, that each pushes us closer and closer to the fascism you keep ignoring?

the left keeps shouting fascism at everything Trump says or does .. for the left its all about accusations and messaging .. facts mean nothing to the left ..

The facts show that Trump is trying to be an authoritarian and that the MAGA base are fascists.

Ain't it great? Three more years.

Actually, it will probably end next November. It's funny how you racists love this because you think it won't get you. But it will, and I'm going to laugh as it does.

Your party's polling worse than cracker barrel.

sending the NG to support law enforcement in a federal district isn't fascism ..

I doubt all of those will survive. But, Trump is masterful in that, even in losing, he forces the dems to paint themselves as wanting crime and being in favor of flag burning. This will be there next campaign slogan, "We fully support the first amendment rights of people burning the American flag. It's who we are and what we stand for. Remember to vote for the party who recognizes your right to burn the American flag".

A lot of conservatives believe that also.

Trump is trolling with this EO. He wants the Dems to protest his imposing criminal sanctions on flag burning. The joke is that he can't really do that, and he knows it. He just wants to hear Dems whine about it!

That's why he put the requirement that the flag being burned to incite violence. Try proving that in court sometime. Almost impossible would be my best guess.

Tear down a flag that belongs to someone else and setting it on fire is not free speech but criminal mischief, theft of property, and arson.

I had agreed with that until you said Trump wanted to incite violence. He doesn't hold a torch to all of the violence the left incites.

Where did I say that?
I said:

The EO only allows for arrest of people burning a flag to incite violence. I might have been more explicit with that.

You can stand in your back yard and burn your flag all day long. In fact, that is the recommended method for disposal. I have a worn-out flag in the trunk of my car right now to take to Lowe's for disposal.

Read the EO and see what it says. It even references the freedom of speech in the EO.
