And it's not about liking or not liking flag burning.

It's about liking or not liking the US Constitution, as that's an act of exercising your First Amendment right.

Do you like our constitution or don't you?

The Constitution Was Written by Politicians for Politicians

We don't need to be ruled by the ignorant politics of the 18th Century.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

Trump has guaranteed that more flags will be burned than ever. The one year jail term is mere bluster. The president doesn’t set sentences, particularly when SCOTUS has determined it to be free speech.

Patriots should burn SCROTUS'S flag then; it acts like it is our Mother Country and the citizens are its ignorant children

 

[BothWings]

I don't get ent out of shape from symbolism, only from things which actually cause tangible damage or loss my way of life. If I saw someone burning the flag, I'd probably shake my head but also start watching that person very closely. Because eventually what they burn might be more than just a piece of fabric.

You sound like a fascist.

 

[Delldude]

Some democrats were for it before they were against it.

The people responsible for the burning of American flags, are the anit-American pieces of shit that burn them.


SOmeone does that, we know that they are our enemy and we should treat them accordingly.

Jeez, you are grumpy. What do you have against free speech.

 

[22lcidw]

Jeez, you are grumpy. What do you have against free speech.

You destroyed any Republican in entertainment in recent years as an example. Remember?

 

[Correll]

Jeez, you are grumpy. What do you have against free speech.

I've said nothing about not allowing it. I just want them to be treated like the enemies of that nation that they are.


Freedom to speak, doesn't mean freedom from being judged on what you said.

What should be ruled by...?

Fundamentalist Constitution-Bangers

By legislation and national initiatives leading to referendums. The Founding Fodder's Constitution already is a dictatorship, having supremacy over the will of the majority.

I put your strawman in a barn, where it belongs.

And it's not about liking or not liking flag burning.

Do you like our constitution or don't you?

So burning pride flags is also protected by the Constitution?

 

[Dogmaphobe]

I don't like it, but I sure do defend the right to do it as long as it belongs to the person burning it.

 

[martybegan]

I don't like it, but I sure do defend the right to do it as long as it belongs to the person burning it.

And they are burning it in a place that doesn't ban burning things in general.

 

[Delldude]

The Founding Fodder's Constitution already is a dictatorship, having supremacy over the will of the majority.

That's one of the reasons the Founding Fodders didn't want a country to be ruled by the majority.
