House approves flag-burning amendment

[TheStatutoryApe]

You're aware this has virtually nothing to do with the proposed legislation?

Have you been reading my posts? In their entirety?

The flag is a symbol of our country and there is no right more fundamental to this country than the right to freedom of speech. So using freedom of speech to burn a symbol of freedom of speech is just basic hypocrisy. I love it when hippies display their hypocrisy publicly.

You've just arbitrarily chosen one particular ideal that the flag supposedly symbolizes in order to derive your "contradiction".
Since a nation's flag will be wherever the armed forces of a country is, the flag can equally well be regarded as a symbol for something totally different than "freedom of speech".


Not that I condone flag-burning; I find it puerile and counter-productive.
