Answer me this. If it is okay with you to burn the flag as an expression of freedom of speech with no repercussion from the law, then why isn't it okay for someone to spray paint "frick you Harry Reid" on the front door to the halls of Congress as an act freedom of speech? You'd get your arse arrested in a New York second if you did that.

If we're talking freedom of speech here, then what's the difference?


Seriously?

Well spray painting a federal building is vandalism and a crime. If you spray painted that on a banner and hung it on your own property, that would not be a crime. If you burn your own flag on your own land, it's not a crime. If you burn someone else's flag, it's vandalism or conversion and a crime.

Who burns the American flag, but solely those who hate America and what it stands for. It's the same with our enemies overseas as it is with our enemies here. That is the common denominator...hatred for what America stands for.


There's only one way I think we should make flag burning illegal. If you have to cover your face to burn the flag, you should be arrested. I want to see your face and think America deserves to see it as well.

Look at his timeline on twitter. This is no doubt directly aimed at CNN. If they say anything, he can just point directly at that 2005 law proposed by Hillary Clinton and call them out on their hypocrisy.

His position isn't that absurd. Plenty of reasonable people think flag burning should cease to be protected speech.

But I agree his twitter outbursts are ridiculous. Even if he's trolling, I just can't see what this is accomplishing other than keeping the 25% of the country in his fan club entertained.

And what if he doesn't stop? What will you do? What will anyone do?

I love watching you retards get your panties in a twist over him tweeting. Saying he needs to stop. So what if he doesn't stop? What will you do about it? Tell him to stop harder?

soldiers fight for your right to burn the flag, free speech comes with consequences, someone may say or do something we despise.

you should hate that they do it but celebrate the fact that they can.

Well since you are all about shitting on the constitution you wouldn't have a problem with changes being made to the 2nd amendment would you?

It's just a piece of cloth. I find the callous disconnect to our founding principles and Constitution much more offensive. All I think is that those who burn it need to show their face. I want to see what people who hate America look like. Don't hide. Be proud I say.
