Hardly a riot burning the flag, Hill Bill

Meh, BFD, IMO. If someone wants to spend their own money on a flag and burn it? It's their right to do so and the Supreme court ruled on it many, years ago.That flag belongs to whomever purchased it and they are free to do what they want with their personal property. Sheesh, this is a stale old argument.

I think the freedom to burn a flag and not be thrown in jail is one of the best things about America...it shows we are truly democratic and value the First Amendment.
I think in Russia it might be against the law to burn their flag...

I can't find it online, but to paraphrase Royko, 'who needs an amendment when a punch in the nose works just fine?'

Sucession is a bad idea....if we leave then the Virginia Maryland and DC nexus of the Military-Government-Industrial Complex will get ALL the spoils and stimulus

I'm kidding, Robbin but it is a fun one to float since we keep hearing that Texas wants to strike out on their own.
